How certification works here

What a PM Practitioner credential actually involves.

Everything below applies to every certification we issue, at every tier. There are no variations by region, employer or fee paid.

Earned by examination

Every credential is issued on the result of a proctored examination. There is no attendance route and no portfolio submission — you sit the paper, and the paper decides.

Assessment domains published

Each certification page lists the domains the paper covers and how much of the marks each carries, so preparation can be planned against the real thing rather than guessed at.

Independent preparation

We assess; we do not train. You are free to prepare through any course, book or working experience, and no provider has privileged access to our questions.

Publicly verifiable

Every credential carries an ID that resolves on our open register, plus a digital badge hosted independently. An employer can check both without contacting us.

Two-year validity

Credentials last two years, and the expiry date is printed on the certificate and shown on the public record. There is no maintenance fee to keep one live.

One price, nothing further

Your enrolment covers the examination attempt, the certificate, the digital badge and the register entry. Retakes are available at a reduced fee if you need one.

More about how we are set up

Who certifies with us

Four situations this tends to solve.

The title has not caught up

You have been running delivery for a year and the job description still says coordinator. An assessed credential says what the title does not.

Moving between sectors

Delivery judgement transfers; sector knowledge does not. A hiring manager in an unfamiliar industry needs something concrete to weigh.

Certifying a team

An internal academy that needs externally assessed outcomes rather than attendance records it marked itself.

Specialising

Risk, scheduling, business analysis and construction each have their own credential, so depth can be evidenced separately from breadth.

Verification

A credential an employer can check in seconds.

Every certificate carries a credential ID and a QR code that resolves to our public register. The digital badge lives on an independent badging platform, so verification never depends on our word alone.
