    PMP® Candidate Prerequisites

    April 4, 2011 by Brian Salk

    PMI® requires that PMP® candidates satisfy the following requirements:

    High school diploma or global equivalent

    Minimum five years/60 months unique, non-overlapping, professional project management experience during which at least 7,500 hours were spent leading and directing project tasks*

    35 contact hours of formal education

    OR

    Bachelor’s degree or global equivalent

    Minimum three years/36 months unique, non-overlapping, professional project management experience during which at least 4,500 hours were spent leading and directing project tasks*

    35 contact hours of formal education

    *Leading and directing project tasks as identified in the Project Management Professional Examination Specification.

    Within the total hours of project management experience, experience in all five process groups is required. However, on a single project, you do not need to have experience in all five process groups.

    PMI® reserves the right to revise these requirements at any time. Visit www.pmi.org for the most recent information.
