Get PMI PMP Certified

The Project Management Professional (PMP) is PMI’s flagship credential and the most widely recognized project management certification in the world, held by more than 1.4 million professionals. It validates your ability to lead projects across predictive, agile, and hybrid approaches. PMI’s own salary research puts the US median for PMP holders at about $135,000 against roughly $109,000 for project managers without it, and median pay climbs from around $123,000 in the early years to about $173,000 for those certified more than a decade.

Yes. PMI launched a new PMP exam on July 9, 2026 based on an updated Exam Content Outline. The three domains were reweighted to People (33%), Process (41%), and Business Environment (26%), exam time increased to 240 minutes, and new topics including AI, sustainability, and value delivery are now tested. Our boot camp teaches the 2026 outline.

The PMP exam has 180 questions in 240 minutes. The 2026 exam mixes multiple choice with interactive, scenario-based formats, including case-study style items, so preparation needs to go beyond memorizing definitions.

The PMP exam costs $425 for PMI members and $675 for non-members in the United States. Your Training Camp enrollment includes the exam voucher, so the exam fee is already covered.

You need one of three combinations of education and experience: a four-year degree with 36 months of project leadership experience, a high school diploma or associate degree with 60 months of experience, or a bachelor’s degree from a GAC accredited program with 24 months of experience. Every path also requires 35 hours of project management education, which this boot camp fulfills. All experience must have been accrued within the last 10 years.

Yes. The boot camp includes 35 or more hours of live instruction, which satisfies PMI’s project management education requirement in full. We also help you complete your PMI application before class wraps, so you’re ready to submit as soon as training ends.

The exam covers three domains: People (33%), Process (41%), and Business Environment (26%). Business Environment more than tripled in weight from the previous outline, with a heavier focus on strategic alignment, governance, organizational change, and benefits realization. Agile and hybrid approaches are integrated across all three domains rather than tested separately.

Not directly. The exam is built on the PMP Exam Content Outline, and the PMBOK Guide is one of several reference sources. The 2026 exam aligns with the PMBOK Guide Eighth Edition, and our courseware covers both the outline and the concepts the exam actually draws from.

Both. You can attend live online with full instructor interaction or train in person, and both formats include the same courseware, practice exams, exam voucher, and support.

Your enrollment includes a free retake. You get a second exam voucher and the option to sit the course again, so one bad exam day doesn’t cost you the certification or more money.

Three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 professional development units (PDUs) during each three-year cycle and pay PMI’s renewal fee, which is $60 for members and $150 for non-members.

For most working project managers, yes. PMP is requested by name in project leadership postings across every industry and functions as a screening requirement rather than a preference at many employers, and the US median for holders sits around $135,000. The 2026 exam refresh added AI, sustainability, and value delivery, so the credential still describes how organizations actually run projects. The case against it is mainly timing: if you do not yet have the leadership hours PMI requires, CAPM is the better first step.
