Once PMI receives your application, they’ll verify that you meet the eligibility criteria and that your experience and/or education align with the prerequisites.
Typically, the application review period takes 5–10 days, depending on the certification. Once the review is complete, PMI will email you with the next steps.
If PMI has any questions or issues with your application, they’ll provide further instructions via email.
A specified percentage of applications are randomly selected for audit. PMI conducts these audits to verify the experience and/or education documented in the certification applications. The purpose of the audit is to enhance the credibility of the certification program and its holders.
