Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification

PMI regularly conducts audits of some certification applications to ensure that the candidate meets the requirements. It is done to ensure the integrity and genuineness of the certification process. In an audit, PMI inspects the documents you submitted to ensure they are correct.

If you get audited, you have to provide these documents within 90 days:

• Copies of degree certificate
• Copies of diploma certificate
• Copies related to training experience certificate
• Letters from training providers for the training received
• Signature of superior training managers and supervisors

If you don’t meet the audit requirements like any incomplete documentation or less project experience, the PMI can cancel your existing application as they choose the most qualified candidates for PMP certification. But after a year, you can reapply after meeting the missing criteria for the certification exam.

The pattern for Project Management Professional certification in Australia is set as per PMI guidelines.

The PMP certification fee varies depending on your PMI membership status.
