Certification
Launched in 1984, PMI's first certification was the PMP. Around 370,000 people now hold the PMP certification.
In 2007, it earned the ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation from the "International Organization for Standardization" (ISO). Credential holders do not have to be members of PMI.
To initially obtain a PMI credential, individuals must pass an examination consisting of multiple choice questions. To maintain most PMI credentials, holders must earn Professional Development Units (PDUs) which can be earned in a variety of ways such as taking classes, attending PMI global congresses, contributing to professional research or writing and publishing papers on the subject. Most credentials must be renewed every three years.
