PMP Certification Training in Montreal, Canada

Project Management Institute tends to regularly conduct audits at random. The audit is done to ensure that candidates who apply for the certification exam meet the required eligibility criteria and don’t falsify submitted information.

If selected for the audit process, you just have to submit copies of your certificates, diplomas, or training experience, along with signatures of training managers or supervisors. To do all this, PMI gives you a maximum of 90 days. After you submit everything PMI takes about 5-7 days to verify and get back to you with more information.

The audit process is completely dependent on PMI and they receive the right to select candidates that fulfil the eligibility requirements for PMP certification. If you don’t fulfil the requirements, PMI can cancel your existing application. The reason for rejection can be either due to incomplete experience or documentation.

If your application is rejected, do not worry. Candidates can make up for the missing requirements and then reapply for the certification exam after a year.

After you pass the PMP exam, your certificate will stay valid for three years from the date it was issued. This means that once you get your certificate from PMI, you can only use these credentials for three years. After that, you have to renew your certificate.

The reason why this is a requirement is that PMI wants to ensure that whoever has the credential doesn’t lose touch with the field of project management. And for that, there’s a renewal process. When you get to the point where you need to renew your certificate, you would need some proof of education or experience.

This proof needs to lead up to a minimum of 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs).This would show to PMI that you have remained active by either attending courses or events. After that, you just need to pay a renewal fee and you’re good to proceed!

Once candidates gather the required PDUs they are required to enter them in the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) system. After this, you will need to pay the renewal fee to maintain your certification.

The renewal process set by PMI is quite straightforward - earn the required PDUs and get your certificate validity extended. You also need to pay a small fee every three years when completing this process.
