PMP Certification
Project Management Professional (PMP)® is a globally recognized professional credential for project managers, administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The exam was significantly updated in July 2026, with the three domain weightings adjusted to: People 33%, Process 41%, and Business Environment 26%, of which Business Environment increased from the original 8% to 26%. The exam adds new content such as artificial intelligence, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement, and emphasizes outcome, value, and business impact orientation. The exam consists of 180 questions (170 scored, 10 unscored pretest questions), with a duration of 240 minutes and two optional 10-minute breaks; question formats include multiple choice, multiple response, matching, hotspot, and case study sets. Approximately 40% of the exam involves predictive approaches, while approximately 60% covers agile/adaptive and hybrid methods, distributed across all three domains. Eligibility requirements are tiered based on education: high school diploma requires 60 months of project leadership experience, bachelor's degree requires 36 months, and PMI GAC-accredited degree requires 24 months; an additional 35 hours of formal project management training is required (active CAPM certification or GAC-accredited degree coursework can be substituted).
