What is the difference between my CAPM renewal period and my CAPM exam eligibility period?
Your renewal period starts 12 months before your credential expiration date. This is the fifth year of your CAPM certification cycle. This means that if your certification cycle began on 15 September 2007, your renewal period begins on 15 September 2011. You must apply for renewal and pass the exam by 14 September 2012. Your exam eligibility period is always one year, during which you may take your credential exam a maximum of three times. If your credential expires during your one-year exam eligibility period, you may still test but you do not need to complete the full application as is required in the initial CAPM application submission

How do I renew my CAPM credential after it expires?
If your CAPM credential expires and you wish to renew, you will have to go through the full application process again as though you are a new candidate. Please consult the CAPM Handbook for details on the application process

How do I renew my CAPM credential?
The CAPM Handbook details the steps for credential renewal. Please consult the handbook

What are the benefits to renewing my CAPM credential?
The CAPM credential acknowledges the professional dedication of individuals who contribute to project teams from many different perspectives. You maintain your credential by studying PMBOK® Guide updates thereby assuring your employer that you have stayed current in your knowledge of project management.

Are Professional Development Units required to renew my CAPM credential?
No. You simply re-take the exam which includes PMBOK® Guide updates that have occurred over the last five years.

When do I have to renew my CAPM credential?
The certification cycle for the CAPM credential is five years. During the fifth year of the cycle, you move into a renewal period of one year. During this period, you must re-take and pass the exam (before your credential expires).

When is the earliest I can start earning PDUs after I earn a credential?
You can start earning and reporting PDU activities as soon as you earn a credential.

When reporting PDU activities, is any supporting documentation required?
You do not need supporting documentation to report PDUs and renew your credential. You should complete the online Activity Reporting Forms in the appropriate amount of time and submit the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) worksheet for your reported SDL activities.
NOTE: PMI recommends you maintain a personal folder for all PDU-related documentation and keep this documentation for at least 18 months after your CCR cycle has ended. If you are randomly selected for an audit, you will need to provide this documentation.

How do I determine the program number for PMI chapter events under Category 3?
The program number would be in the format XXXX-XXXXXX, where the first four digits are the chapter's provider ID number, and the last six digits are assigned to each activity by the component. Generally, chapter ID numbers begin with "C". NOTE: If you attend a class given by a PMI Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.), the number is the same as the R.E.P.'s ID number in our cae its 3757.

How do I know if a course or seminar is sufficiently related to project management?
You may assume that courses offered by R.E.P.s are related to project and/or program management. If a course does not appear to be related, please notify PMI at once. If you are reporting attendance at a non-R.E.P. program or a self-directed learning (SDL) project, please use the process areas of the PMBOK® Guide as a reference to qualify project management topics.
