This handbook contains information on how you can apply for the Certified

Associate in Project Management – a credential designed to demonstrate

your knowledge of project management processes and terminology.

About PMI’s Credentials

As a global organization with a 37-year history of advocacy for the profession, Project Management

Institute (PMI ) supports practitioners with project management credentials that objectively assess

experience, education and knowledge

The family of credentials includes the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®), the Program

Management Professional (PgMPSM), and one of the world’s most widely recognized professional

credentials, the Project Management Professional (PMP®).

PMI credentials establish your dedication to and proficiency in the profession. When you earn a PMI

credential, you gain distinction and recognition in a growing community of project management

practitioners. To attain a credential, you must satisfy the educational and professional experience

requirements established by PMI, demonstrate your ability to apply your project management

understanding and knowledge to situational and scenario-based questions in the examination, and, in

the case of the PgMP, successfully complete two additional evaluations.

Achievement of one or several of these prestigious credentials acknowledges your abilities in project and

program management and increases your visibility within your organization and on an international level.

In order to maintain the credential, you must show ongoing professional commitment to the field of

project management by satisfying PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program or by

renewing the credential.

If you are ready to establish your credibility in the application of project management practices and to

become a more valuable member of your organization, you have taken a step in the right direction. Join

the ranks of this elite group of credential holders and gain the professional recognition you deserve.

PMI Certification Department Mission

About the CAPM Credential

Launched in 2003, the CAPM recognizes individuals with a demonstrated understanding of the

fundamental knowledge, processes, and terminology as defined in A Guide to the Project Management

Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), the standard of project management’s good practices. The CAPM

credential candidate contributes to a project team as a subject matter expert and may also serve as a

sponsor, facilitator, liaison, or coordinator. These project team members assume full or partial

responsibility for individual project tasks in their areas of expertise (e.g., finance, marketing, legal), which

may not be industry-specific, but relevant across many functional areas and industries.

CAPM Eligibility Requirements & Verification

To be eligible for the CAPM credential, you must meet certain educational and professional experience

requirements. At minimum, you need a high school diploma or global equivalent and must meet one of

the following eligibility requirements.

Educational

Background Project Management

Experience Project Management

Education

High School diploma,

Associate’s degree or

global equivalent

AND 1,500 hours of professional

experience on a project

management team

OR 23 contact hours of formal

education

NOTE: Individuals who have attained the Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential

are not eligible to take the CAPM examination or to receive the CAPM credential.

Information to help You Complete the Credential Application

Use the experience verification section of the online application to document your professional project

management experience (option 1) or use the project management education section of the online

application to document your project management education (option 2).

Option 1: Professional Project Management Experience

If you choose to report 1,500 hours of professional project management experience, document your work

on a project. Document projects individually. Do not group project management experience. Also,

document the number of hours applied to the five project management process groups and summarize,

by process, your experience on each project.

Option 2: Project Management Education

If you choose to document 23 contact hours of project management education, you are required to

complete the project management education section of the application. You should document all project

management education hours regardless of when they were accrued. However, if the entire course is not

completed at the time of application, the course cannot be used to fulfill the requirement.

You can satisfy the project management educational requirements by demonstrating the successful

completion of courses, workshops and training sessions offered by one or more of the following types of

education providers:

A. PMI Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s)*

B. PMI Component organizations*

C. Employer/company-sponsored programs

D. Training companies or consultants

E. Distance-learning companies, including an end-of-course assessment

F. University/college academic and continuing education programs

*Courses offered by PMI R.E.P.s, PMI Components (chapters, specific interest groups,

colleges), or PMI, are pre-approved for contact hours in fulfillment of the educational eligibility

requirement.

NOTE: One hour of classroom instruction equals one contact hour. If you have completed a

university or college course on project management that met for three hours per week for 15

weeks, you would document 45 contact hours on the application. If only a portion of a course

dealt with project management, only the hours spent on project management can be applied

toward the total.

The following education does not satisfy the education requirements:

• PMI chapter meetings*

• Self-study (e.g., reading books)

*If at least one hour of a chapter meeting is spent conducting a learning activity, the hour(s) spent

in that activity can be counted towards the educational eligibility requirement.

Refer to the PMI Credential Examination Policies & Procedures section in this handbook for details on

next steps after you submit your application.

CAPM Examination Information & Blueprint

The CAPM examination is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions. Of the 150 questions, 15 are

considered pretest questions. Pretest questions do not affect the score and are used in examinations as

an effective and legitimate way to test the validity of future examination questions. All questions are

randomly placed throughout the examination.

Computer-based testing (CBT) is the standard method of administration for PMI examinations. Paper-

based testing (PBT) is available under limited circumstances (refer to the Examination Administration

section in this handbook for more details).

The allotted time to complete the computer-based examination is three hours. The examination is

preceded by a 15-minute computer tutorial, which is not included in the examination time of three hours.

The tutorial will confirm that the correct examination is on the screen and will provide instruction on

taking the computer-based examination.

It may take some credential candidates less than the allotted three hours to complete the examination.

Item Development

CAPM examination questions:

• Are developed and independently validated by global work groups of CAPM credential holders

• Are referenced solely to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®

Guide)—Third Edition

• Are monitored through psychometric analysis

Examination Blueprint

The CAPM examination blueprint identifies the proportion of questions from each chapter of the

PMBOK® Guide—Third Edition that will appear on the examination. The questions are derived by

combining the overall evaluations of importance, criticality, and frequency, and by converting the results

into percentages.

The percentages are used to determine the number of questions related to each chapter that appears on

the examination.

CAPM Credential Fees & Refund Policy

You must submit payment of the CAPM credential fee as part of the payment process (if you submit an

application online) or as part of the application process (if you submit a paper application). You can

submit payment by credit card using the online certification system or through postal mail if you chose to

pay by check, money order or wire. For all mail-in payments, please include your PMI identification

number and user name.

The proper fees for payment are determined by your PMI membership status and the examination

delivery option (computer-based versus paper-based) for your geographic location. Refer to the

Examination Administration section in this handbook to help you determine if computer-based delivery or

paper-based delivery of the examination is most appropriate for you. Once you determine the

examination delivery option, use the following chart to determine the credential fee.

Examination Administration

The PMI membership rate will only apply if you are a member of PMI in good standing at the time your

application is approved. If PMI membership is obtained after this application has been submitted, PMI will

not refund the difference.

If you are interested in becoming a member of PMI at the time you apply for the credential, you can

submit your membership application and credential application at the same time and receive the

membership rate. PMI membership applications are available online at www.PMI.org.

CAPM Refund Policy

To obtain a refund for the CAPM credential, you must submit a written request to PMI at least one month

prior to the examination eligibility expiration date. PMI will retain a processing fee of $100 (US) if you

have not taken the examination.

PMI will not consider giving you a refund if you have taken the examination or have not provided the

necessary cancellation/rescheduling notification to PMI’s testing administration partner, Prometric,

for a scheduled examination appointment (refer to the Cancellation, Rescheduling, No Show section

in this handbook for more details).

If you fail to meet audit requirements, you will receive a refund less a $100 (US) processing fee.

Refer to PMI’s Audit Process section of this handbook for details on the audit process.

CAPM Credential Renewal

Once you pass the CAPM examination, you are certified for a period of five years. Before the end of

your five-year certification period, you have the option to renew your CAPM credential or, if eligible,

you may apply for the Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential. Credential renewal

assures employers, peers, and project team members that you are versed in the most current project

management processes and terminology.

Overview of Process to Renew your CAPM Credential:

1. Submit a completed application for CAPM credential renewal

2. Reaffirm PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct as part of the application process

3. Reaffirm PMI Certification Application/Renewal Agreement as part of the application process

4. Submit the appropriate credential renewal fee

5. Sit for and pass the CAPM examination

6. Receive new certificate with updated certification cycle dates

How to Determine Your Certification Cycle

Your active certification cycle begins the day you pass the examination and five full years later.

You may calculate or check your certification cycle in one of the following ways:

• Check your CAPM certificate for your active certification date and expiration date

• Check for certification cycle dates online at www.PMI.org

• If you passed the examination on 15 September 2007, your certification expires on 14 September

2012. Your next certification/CCR cycle begins on 15 September 2012 and ends on 14

September 2017.

You must apply for credential renewal and take the examination during the last year of your certification

cycle. This means that if your certification cycle began in 2007, you must apply for renewal and pass the

examination during 2012.

If you do not renew the credential during the last year of your cycle, you forfeit your CAPM number and

must go through the full application process again, as though you are a new candidate, and submit the

associated fees.

Using the time frame example above, you need to submit your CAPM Renewal Form on PMI’s website or

by postal mail no sooner than the 1 January of the final year of your certification cycle and no later than

31 December of that same year.

CAPM Policies and Procedures

The CAPM renewal process contains the same policies and procedures as the initial credential process.

• CAPM Credential Fees

• CAPM Refund Policy

• CAPM Examination Information & Blueprint

Applicant Contact Information

Please ensure that the application includes your valid e-mail address as this will be the primary mode of

communication from PMI throughout the credential process.

Credential Payment Process

Once your online application has been processed and determined to be complete, PMI will send

electronic notification to submit payment of the credential fee.

This requires you to go back into the online certification system to complete the following steps:

• Select your examination delivery method

(refer to the Examination Administration section in this handbook for more details)

• Request a language aid for your examination, if appropriate

(refer to the Language Aids section in this handbook for more details)

• Application has randomly been selected for PMI’s audit process

• Begin evaluation 1 – panel review (if you applied for the PgMP)

If you are eligible to take the CAPM or PMP examination, you can schedule the examination

appointment. If you have been selected for audit, you will be notified with instructions for how to comply

with the terms of the audit.

NOTE: If you send a paper application by postal mail, payment of the credential fee is expected

to be received with the application.

Regardless of how you submit the credential application (online or by postal mail), you may submit

payment for the credential fee online or by postal mail. You can submit credit card payment using the

online certification system or send payment through postal mail if you chose to pay by check, money

order or wire. For all mail-in payments, please use the Credential Payment Form located in the paper

applications at the end of this handbook. Include your PMI identification number and user name (refer to

the Credential Fees section in this handbook for more details).

Examination Scheduling Notification

For PMP and CAPM credential candidates, once payment of the credential fee has been received and

processed, and if you have not been selected for PMI’s audit process, PMI will send an electronic

notification to schedule your examination.

If you applied for the PgMP, you will receive this notification once you pass the first evaluation, the panel

review.

The examination scheduling notification confirms that you are eligible to take the examination. However,

you may be subject to PMI’s audit process after you gain eligibility to test (refer to PMI’s Audit Process

section in this handbook for more details).

The examination eligibility period (the period of time during which you are able to test) is one year. You

may take the examination up to three times within this one-year eligibility period should you not pass on

the first attempt.

The examination scheduling notification directs you to the section of the Prometric website

(www.prometric.com/pmi) where you can select and schedule your examination date and location.

Prometric is PMI’s examination administration partner.

PMI cannot guarantee seating at the testing centers and recommends that you schedule the examination

within the following time frames:

• at least six weeks in advance of your preferred test date and

• at least three months before the expiration of your eligibility period

NOTE: You must retain the unique PMI identification code located on your scheduling notification.

This code will be required to register for the examination.

Please print and save all examination scheduling verifications and correspondence received from

PMI’s examination administration partner, Prometric, for your records.

Examination Administration

Computer-based testing (CBT) is the standard method of administration for PMI’s examinations.

However, paper-based testing (PBT) is available in the following situations only:

1. Candidates who live at least 186.5 miles/300 km from a Prometric CBT site.

2. Employers (Corporate Sponsors) who wish to administer a PMI examination to their

employees. In this case, there is no restriction on distance; however only employees of the

corporation may test at these events.

PMI reserves the right to cancel a PBT event that does not have a minimum of 10 candidates. Additional

restrictions apply. Sponsors can obtain a copy of the PBT Handbook by contacting pbtexams@pmi.org.

CBT test centers are listed on the Prometric website. If you are unable to locate a Prometric CBT

center within a 186.5 miles/300 km-radius of your home, review the PBT listing on the Prometric website

to see if there is a PBT event available in your area.

NOTE: As part of the credential payment process, you need to indicate whether you will be taking

a computer-based or paper-based examination. If you need to take a PBT examination, include

the site location, date, and group testing number on your application.

Examination Language Aids

All of PMI’s examinations are administered in English. Language aids for the questions and answers of

the PMP and CAPM examinations are available to assist you if English is your second language.

Language aids are available in the following 10 languages:

Chinese (Simplified) French

German Hebrew

Italian Japanese

Korean Portuguese (Brazilian)

Russian Spanish

NOTE: The PgMP examination is administered in English only. Language aids for the PgMP

examination are not currently available.

Language aids are provided at the time the examination is administered and are protected under the PMI

Test Security & Confidentiality Policy.

If you would like a language aid, you should indicate your need as part of the payment process (if you

submit your application online) or as part of the application process (if you submit a paper application).

Once the examination is scheduled, you should review the confirmation notice to verify that your request

for a language aid has been processed.

Special Accommodations for the Examination

You may request the administration of any of PMI’s examinations to be modified due to disability,

handicap and/or other conditions that may impair your ability to take the examination.

NOTE: Document your need for special accommodations as part of the payment process (if you

applied online) or as part of the application process (if you submitted a paper application).

You must submit to PMI, by fax or mail, supporting medical or other appropriate documentation to

complete your request. Please keep a copy of all submitted forms for your records.

Refer to the How to Schedule an Examination section in this handbook for more details.

How to Schedule Your Examination Appointment

FOR PBT ADMINISTRATION

If you qualified to take a paper-based examination, you will not have to do anything to schedule a PBT

appointment because you indicated this administration type as part of the application or payment

process. Although you are required to do nothing, you will receive the examination scheduling notification

because PMI’s system sends it automatically to everyone.

To confirm your PBT examination appointment, PMI will send an electronic confirmation 20-25 days

before your scheduled appointment. This confirmation will contain site instructions including your

eligibility dates, your examination date and location, your arrival times for the examination, information on

your government-issued identification, and a contact person.

Examination Cancellations, Rescheduling, No Shows

To cancel or reschedule a CBT examination, you must do so no later than noon (12:00 p.m.) local time

two business days prior to the scheduled examination (e.g., to cancel an examination scheduled for

Monday morning, you must notify Prometric by 12:00 noon on the Thursday before the scheduled

appointment).

You should call Prometric directly and not the local site where you are scheduled to take the

examination. Contact telephone numbers for Prometric are located on the examination scheduling

notification. You can cancel online by following the prompts on the Prometric website

(www.prometric.com/pmi).

To cancel or reschedule a PBT examination, you must e-mail PMI at pbtexams@pmi.org no later than 35

calendar days prior to the scheduled examination administration date. Include your name, your PMI

identification number, group ID number, and the location of the PBT event in your e-mail. The group ID

number is available on the Prometric website or from the PBT sponsor.

If you fail to notify the appropriate party within the specified time period and/or fail to meet a scheduled

examination appointment, you forfeit the full credential fee and will have to pay the full reexamination fee

in order to schedule another examination.

Cancellation/Reschedule Policy

Examination Type Time requirements

CBT Two business days before the examination

PBT 35 calendar days before the examination

PMI understands that there are times when extenuating circumstances may prevent you from meeting a

scheduled examination appointment, resulting in a “no show” status (e.g., medical emergency, death in

immediate family). Should a situation like this occur, you must provide an explanation, supporting

documentation (e.g., accident report, medical documentation, death certificate), and a completed

reexamination form to PMI Certification Department by postal mail.

This information must be submitted within 72 hours of the scheduled examination date. If supporting

documentation is not available within 72 hours of the examination date, this must be noted in the letter of

explanation and provided to PMI Certification Department as soon as it becomes available. Work-related

activities, including travel, do not qualify for missed appointments.

PMI will review all claims on a case-by-case basis. If PMI determines that your claim is not extenuating,

you will be required to request a reexamination and pay the full reexamination fee to sit for the

examination. You are allowed a maximum of one year from the date your application is approved, to

apply for reexamination.

PMI Examination Security & Confidentiality Policy

The examination, answer sheets, worksheets, and/or any other test or test-related materials remain the

sole and exclusive property of PMI. These materials are confidential and are not available for review by

any person or agency for any reason.

Examination (pass/fail) results are confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone without candidate

consent, unless directed by valid and lawful subpoena or court order. If you would like your examination

results to be released to a third party, you must provide PMI with a written request that specifically

identifies the amount of details (e.g., examination date, pass/fail status, percent by domain score report),

about the examination results that the third-party person or organization should receive.

When you submit an application, you agree to abide by PMI’s Certification Application/Renewal

Agreement (found in this handbook). Among other things, this document addresses post-examination

questions and discussions. It states: “…Furthermore, I agree not to discuss, debrief or disclose, in

any manner, the specific content of PMI examination questions and answers, to any individual.”

Any such discussion would be a potential violation to the Certification Application/Renewal Agreement

and thus, could affect the status of your credential, up to and including revocation of your credential or

permanent suspension from any PMI credential examinations.

Examination Site Requirements & Confidentiality

In order to be admitted into the Prometric testing center, you must bring a form of government-issued

identification that includes English characters/translation and has both a photograph and a signature. If

your government-issued identification does not display a photograph or a signature, a secondary

identification may be used, which includes a photograph and/or signature (whichever is missing from the

government-issued identification).

Your identification must match your name exactly as it appears on the scheduling notification. You will

not be permitted to test if the name on your government-issued identification does not exactly match the

name on your scheduling notification. Neither PMI nor Prometric will make any exceptions to this policy.

If you do not provide the appropriate and/or matching identification, you will not be permitted to test and

will be required to apply for reexamination and pay the reexamination fee in order to take the

examination at a later date.

The following are acceptable forms of government-issued identification:

Valid driver’s license

Valid military ID

Valid passport

Valid national identification card

The following are acceptable forms of secondary identification:

Valid employee ID

Valid credit card with signature

Valid bank (ATM) card

The following are not acceptable forms of identification:

Social Security cards Library cards

Check-in procedure

On the day of your examination, please arrive one half hour prior to your scheduled appointment. You

must sign in, present the required identification, and provide your unique PMI identification code. You

may also be asked to provide the confirmation number received when scheduling the appointment.

Testing Aids

You are prohibited from bringing anything into the testing area. A Prometric examination proctor will

provide you with calculators and scrap paper. Dictionaries of any kind are not allowed.

You will be given scratch paper and a pencil to use during the examination; however, these materials

cannot be removed from the test site and must be returned to the examination proctor at the conclusion

of the examination.

Test Site Conduct

No visitors are permitted into the testing rooms (including children). No additional jackets, sweaters or

personal belongings are allowed in the testing area, including but not limited to books, notes, calculators,

cell phones, pagers, food, and drink. Smoking is prohibited in the testing center.

Termination of Examination Administration/Grounds for Dismissal

You are expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times at the testing center. Any

person who violates the PMI Test Security & Confidentiality Policy will be subject to disciplinary action(s)

by the PMI Certification Department.

The test center administrator/supervisor or proctor is authorized to dismiss you from an examination

administration and the PMI Certification Department may cancel your scores, or take other appropriate

action, when there is a reasonable basis for concluding that you have engaged in any of the following

conduct:

1. Using or attempting to use someone else to take the test

2. Failing to provide acceptable personal identification

3. Having access to or using notes or any prohibited aid related to the test

4. Creating a disturbance (disruptive behavior in any form will not be tolerated; the test

administrator/supervisor has sole discretion in determining whether specific conduct

constitutes disruptive behavior)

5. Communicating, in any manner, with another person other than the test

administrator/supervisor or proctor about the test during the administration, including

attempting to give or receive assistance

6. Attempting to remove scrap paper from the testing room

7. Exceeding time permitted for a scheduled break. There are no scheduled breaks during

exam. Prometric does allow unauthorized breaks

8. Eating or drinking in the testing room

9. Leaving the testing room or test center vicinity without permission

10. Removing or attempting to remove, examination-related material, or portions of a test in any

format from the testing room

11. Attempting to tamper with a computer

12. Engaging in any dishonest or unethical conduct, such as cheating

13. Failing to follow any other examination administration regulations set forth in PMI Certification

Program policies given by the test administrator/supervisor, or specified in any examination

materials

The PMI Certification Department reserves the right to take all action including, but not limited to, barring

you from future testing and/or canceling your scores for failure to comply with the test

administrator/supervisor’s directions. If your scores are cancelled, you will be notified of such action and

its basis, and your examination fees will not be refunded.

Although tests are administered under strict supervision and security measures, examination

irregularities may sometimes occur. You are required to contact PMI as soon as possible to report any

observed behavior that may lead to an invalid score – for example, someone copying from another test

taker, taking a test for someone else, having access to test questions before the examination, or using

notes or unauthorized aids. All information will be held in confidence.

Examination Results Notification & Score Report

Upon completion of the computer-based examination, you will receive a printed copy of your test results.

In addition to the overall pass/fail status, important diagnostic information on your performance is

provided for each domain. This information provides specific guidance for both passing and failing

candidates.

For candidates who pass the examination, the performance information will help identify specific domains

to focus on for continuing education purposes. For candidates who fail the examination, the performance

information will identify specific domains where improvement or further study may be required in order to

successfully complete the examination in the future.

For computer-based examinations, in addition to receiving your test results at the test center the day you

sit for the examination, you can also access your test results on PMI’s online certification system 10 days

after your examination date.

For paper-based examinations, you will not receive your results the day of the examination. You will be

able to access your test results on PMI’s online certification system approximately six weeks after your

examination date.

Hand scoring for the paper-based test is available up to six months after the administration. The fee for

hand scoring is $45 (US). For more information or to request hand scoring please contact PMI by e-mail

or phone. PMI does not offer hand scoring for computer-based tests.

NOTE: If you do not pass the credential examination on your first attempt, you have two more

opportunities to retest within your one-year eligibility period. Refer to the Reexamination section

in this handbook for more details.

Establishing the Passing Score

The passing score for all of PMI’s credential examinations is determined by sound psychometric

analysis. PMI uses subject matter experts from across the globe to help establish a point at which each

candidate should pass the examination(s) and the examination point of difficulty. Data that shows how

candidates actually performed is cross referenced with the subject matter experts to ensure that the point

of difficulty on each examination is healthy.

Reexamination

You are granted a one-year eligibility period in which to pass the examination. During the eligibility

period, you may take the examination up to three times because candidates do not always pass the

examination on their first attempt. Gauge your time carefully to leave enough time during the eligibility

period to retake the examination, if needed.

If you fail the examination three times within their one-year eligibility period, you must wait one year from

the date of the last examination you took to reapply for the credential. However, after failing a credential

examination three times, candidates may opt to apply for any other PMI credential (e.g., a candidate who

failed the PMP examination three times in their one-year eligibility period must wait one year to reapply

for the PMP, but can apply at any time for the CAPM).

Reexamination fees apply to the second and third attempts to pass the examination. If your eligibility

period expires without you passing the examination, you must reapply for the credential.

Reexamination fees apply and must be paid in full in order to schedule an examination.

PMI Appeals Procedure

PMI’s certification program is administered and supervised at PMI’s Global Operations Center. All

challenges to the certification program are governed by the comprehensive and exclusive rules of the

PMI Certification Governance Council’s (CGC) Certification Appeal Procedures.

The appeals process is the only method to review all decisions made by the PMI Certification

Department regarding applications, eligibility, examinations, test administration and results, and other

application or testing-related certification issues and/or challenges or complaints.

Disciplinary decisions made by PMI regarding individuals who hold a PMI credential are governed by and

reviewed under a separate procedure, detailed in a separate PMI policy document, PMI Code of Ethics

and Professional Conduct.

Candidates for the credential, or individuals who currently hold the credential, may submit a written

request to the PMI Certification Department address for review of an adverse credential program

action, decision or determination.

PMI’s Audit Process

The submission of an application indicates your agreement to comply with the terms of PMI’s audit

process. All applications are subject to an audit, although only a percentage of applications are selected

for audit. The selection of an application for audit is random.

If your application is selected for an audit, you will be notified after payment of the credential fee is

received. The electronic audit notification provides detailed information on how to comply with the terms

of the audit.

During an audit, you will be asked to submit supporting documentation such as:

• Copies of your diploma/global equivalent

• Signatures from your supervisor(s) or manager(s) from the project(s) and/or program(s)

documented in the experience verification section of the application

• Copies of certificates and/or letters from the training institute(s) for each course documented on

the application to meet the required contact hours of project management education

If you are able to provide the necessary documentation to meet the terms and requirements of PMI’s

audit process, the audit should take about five business days to complete.

You may not continue with the credential process until you have complied with the audit requirements.

Once you successfully complete the audit, you are permitted to take the examination and your one-year

examination eligibility period starts.

If you fail to meet the audit requirements, you will receive a refund (refer to the Refund Policy section

in this handbook for the credential you are pursuing for more details).

Note: Please be advised that while the selection process for an audit is primarily random, PMI

reserves the right to select any candidate to be audited at any time, including after the credential

has been bestowed. If you fail to meet the audit requirements after attaining the credential, you

are not entitled to a refund.

PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct

CHAPTER 1. VISION AND APPLICABILITY

1.1 Vision and Purpose

As practitioners of project management, we are committed to doing what is right and honorable. We set high

standards for ourselves and we aspire to meet these standards in all aspects of our lives—at work, at home, and in

service to our profession.

This Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct describes the expectations that we have of ourselves and our fellow

practitioners in the global project management community. It articulates the ideals to which we aspire as well as the

behaviors that are mandatory in our professional and volunteer roles.

The purpose of this Code is to instill confidence in the project management profession and to help an individual

become a better practitioner. We do this by establishing a profession-wide understanding of appropriate behavior.

We believe that the credibility and reputation of the project management profession is shaped by the collective

conduct of individual practitioners.

We believe that we can advance our profession, both individually and collectively, by embracing this Code of Ethics

and Professional Conduct. We also believe that this Code will assist us in making wise decisions, particularly when

faced with difficult situations where we may be asked to compromise our integrity or our values.

Our hope that this Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct will serve as a catalyst for others to study, deliberate,

and write about ethics and values. Further, we hope that this Code will ultimately be used to build upon and evolve

our profession.

1.2 Persons to Whom the Code Applies

The Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct applies to:

1.2.1 All PMI members

1.2.2 Individuals who are not members of PMI but meet one or more of the following criteria:

.1 Non-members who hold a PMI certification

.2 Non-members who apply to commence a PMI certification process

.3 Non-members who serve PMI in a volunteer capacity.

Comment: Those holding a Project Management Institute (PMI®) credential (whether members or not) were

previously held accountable to the Project Management Professional (PMP®) or Certified Associate in Project

Management (CAPM®) Code of Professional Conduct and continue to be held accountable to the PMI Code of

Ethics and Professional Conduct. In the past, PMI also had separate ethics standards for members and for

credentialed individuals. Stakeholders who contributed input to develop this Code concluded that having

multiple codes was undesirable and that everyone should be held to one high standard. Therefore, this Code is

applicable to both PMI members and individuals who have applied for or received a credential from PMI,

regardless of their membership in PMI.

1.3 Structure of the Code

The Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct is divided into sections that contain standards of conduct which are

aligned with the four values that were identified as most important to the project management community. Some

sections of this Code include comments. Comments are not mandatory parts of the Code, but provide examples

and other clarification. Finally, a glossary can be found at the end of the standard. The glossary defines words and

phrases used in the Code. For convenience, those terms defined in the glossary are underlined in the text of the

Code.

1.4 Values that Support this Code

Practitioners from the global project management community were asked to identify the values that formed the

basis of their decision making and guided their actions. The values that the global project management community

defined as most important were: responsibility, respect, fairness, and honesty. This Code affirms these four values

as its foundation.

1.5 Aspirational and Mandatory Conduct

Each section of the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct includes both aspirational standards and mandatory

standards. The aspirational standards describe the conduct that we strive to uphold as practitioners. Although

adherence to the aspirational standards is not easily measured, conducting ourselves in accordance with these is

an expectation that we have of ourselves as professionals—it is not optional.

The mandatory standards establish firm requirements, and in some cases, limit or prohibit practitioner behavior.

Practitioners who do not conduct themselves in accordance with these standards will be subject to disciplinary

procedures before PMI’s Ethics Review Committee.

Comment: The conduct covered under the aspirational standards and conduct covered under the mandatory

standards are not mutually exclusive; that is, one specific act or omission could violate both aspirational and

mandatory standards.

CHAPTER 2. RESPONSIBILITY

2.1 Description of Responsibility

Responsibility is our duty to take ownership for the decisions we make or fail to make, the actions we take or fail to

take, and the consequences that result.

2.2 Responsibility: Aspirational Standards

As practitioners in the global project management community:

2.2.1 We make decisions and take actions based on the best interests of society, public safety, and the

environment.

2.2.2 We accept only those assignments that are consistent with our background, experience, skills, and

qualifications.

Comment: Where developmental or stretch assignments are being considered, we ensure that key

stakeholders receive timely and complete information regarding the gaps in our qualifications so that they may

make informed decisions regarding our suitability for a particular assignment.

In the case of a contracting arrangement, we only bid on work that our organization is qualified to perform and

we assign only qualified individuals to perform the work.

2.2.3 We fulfill the commitments that we undertake – we do what we say we will do.

2.2.4 When we make errors or omissions, we take ownership and make corrections promptly. When we

discover errors or omissions caused by others, we communicate them to the appropriate body as soon

they are discovered. We accept accountability for any issues resulting from our errors or omissions and

any resulting consequences.

2.2.5 We protect proprietary or confidential information that has been entrusted to us.

2.2.6 We uphold this Code and hold each other accountable to it.

2.3 Responsibility: Mandatory Standards

As practitioners in the global project management community, we require the following of ourselves and our fellow

practitioners:

Regulations and Legal Requirements

2.3.1 We inform ourselves and uphold the policies, rules, regulations and laws that govern our work,

professional, and volunteer activities.

2.3.2 We report unethical or illegal conduct to appropriate management and, if necessary, to those affected by

the conduct.

Comment: These provisions have several implications. Specifically, we do not engage in any illegal behavior,

including but not limited to: theft, fraud, corruption, embezzlement, or bribery. Further, we do not take or abuse

the property of others, including intellectual property, nor do we engage in slander or libel. In focus groups

conducted with practitioners around the globe, these types of illegal behaviors were mentioned as being

problematic.

As practitioners and representatives of our profession, we do not condone or assist others in engaging in illegal

behavior. We report any illegal or unethical conduct. Reporting is not easy and we recognize that it may have

negative consequences. Since recent corporate scandals, many organizations have adopted policies to protect

employees who reveal the truth about illegal or unethical activities. Some governments have also adopted

legislation to protect employees who come forward with the truth.

Ethics Complaints

2.3.3 We bring violations of this Code to the attention of the appropriate body for resolution.

2.3.4 We only file ethics complaints when they are substantiated by facts.

Comment: These provisions have several implications. We cooperate with PMI concerning ethics violations

and the collection of related information whether we are a complainant or a respondent. We also abstain from

accusing others of ethical misconduct when we do not have all the facts. Further, we pursue disciplinary action

against individuals who knowingly make false allegations against others.

2.3.5 We pursue disciplinary action against an individual who retaliates against a person raising ethics

concerns.

CHAPTER 3. RESPECT

3.1 Description of Respect

Respect is our duty to show a high regard for ourselves, others, and the resources entrusted to us. Resources

entrusted to us may include people, money, reputation, the safety of others, and natural or environmental

resources.

An environment of respect engenders trust, confidence, and performance excellence by fostering mutual

cooperation — an environment where diverse perspectives and views are encouraged and valued.

3.2 Respect: Aspirational Standards

As practitioners in the global project management community:

3.2.1 We inform ourselves about the norms and customs of others and avoid engaging in behaviors they might

consider disrespectful.

3.2.2 We listen to others’ points of view, seeking to understand them.

3.2.3 We approach directly those persons with whom we have a conflict or disagreement.

3.2.4 We conduct ourselves in a professional manner, even when it is not reciprocated.

Comment: An implication of these provisions is that we avoid engaging in gossip and avoid making negative

remarks to undermine another person’s reputation. We also have a duty under this Code to confront others who

engage in these types of behaviors.

3.3 Respect: Mandatory Standards

As practitioners in the global project management community, we require the following of ourselves and our fellow

practitioners:

3.3.1 We negotiate in good faith.

3.3.2 We do not exercise the power of our expertise or position to influence the decisions or actions of others in

order to benefit personally at their expense.

3.3.3 We do not act in an abusive manner toward others.

3.3.4 We respect the property rights of others.

CHAPTER 4. FAIRNESS

4.1 Description of Fairness

Fairness is our duty to make decisions and act impartially and objectively. Our conduct must be free from

competing self interest, prejudice, and favoritism.

4.2 Fairness: Aspirational Standards

As practitioners in the global project management community:

4.2.1 We demonstrate transparency in our decision-making process.

4.2.2 We constantly reexamine our impartiality and objectivity, taking corrective action as appropriate.

Comment: Research with practitioners indicated that the subject of conflicts of interest is one of the most

challenging faced by our profession. One of the biggest problems practitioners report is not recognizing when

we have conflicted loyalties and recognizing when we are inadvertently placing ourselves or others in a conflict-

of-interest situation. We as practitioners must proactively search for potential conflicts and help each other by

highlighting each other’s potential conflicts of interest and insisting that they be resolved.

4.2.3 We provide equal access to information to those who are authorized to have that information.

4.2.4 We make opportunities equally available to qualified candidates.

Comment: An implication of these provisions is, in the case of a contracting arrangement, we provide equal

access to information during the bidding process.

4.3 Fairness: Mandatory Standards

As practitioners in the global project management community, we require the following of ourselves and our fellow

practitioners:

Conflict of Interest Situations

4.3.1 We proactively and fully disclose any real or potential conflicts of interest to the appropriate stakeholders.

4.3.2 When we realize that we have a real or potential conflict of interest, we refrain from engaging in the

decision-making process or otherwise attempting to influence outcomes, unless or until: we have made

full disclosure to the affected stakeholders; we have an approved mitigation plan; and we have

obtained the consent of the stakeholders to proceed.

Comment: A conflict of interest occurs when we are in a position to influence decisions or other outcomes on

behalf of one party when such decisions or outcomes could affect one or more other parties with which we

have competing loyalties. For example, when we are acting as an employee, we have a duty of loyalty to our

employer. When we are acting as a PMI volunteer, we have a duty of loyalty to the Project Management

Institute. We must recognize these divergent interests and refrain from influencing decisions when we have a

conflict of interest.

Further, even if we believe that we can set aside our divided loyalties and make decisions impartially, we treat

the appearance of a conflict of interest as a conflict of interest and follow the provisions described in the Code.

Favoritism and Discrimination

4.3.3 We do not hire or fire, reward or punish, or award or deny contracts based on personal considerations,

including but not limited to, favoritism, nepotism, or bribery.

4.3.4 We do not discriminate against others based on, but not limited to, gender, race, age, religion, disability,

nationality, or sexual orientation.

4.3.5 We apply the rules of the organization (employer, Project Management Institute, or other group) without

favoritism or prejudice.

CHAPTER 5. HONESTY

5.1 Description of Honesty

Honesty is our duty to understand the truth and act in a truthful manner both in our communications and in our

conduct.

5.2 Honesty: Aspirational Standards

As practitioners in the global project management community:

5.2.1 We earnestly seek to understand the truth.

5.2.2 We are truthful in our communications and in our conduct.

5.2.3 We provide accurate information in a timely manner.

Comment: An implication of these provisions is that we take appropriate steps to ensure that the information

we are basing our decisions upon or providing to others is accurate, reliable, and timely.

This includes having the courage to share bad news even when it may be poorly received. Also, when

outcomes are negative, we avoid burying information or shifting blame to others. When outcomes are positive,

we avoid taking credit for the achievements of others. These provisions reinforce our commitment to be both

honest and responsible.

5.2.4 We make commitments and promises, implied or explicit, in good faith.

5.2.5 We strive to create an environment in which others feel safe to tell the truth.

5.3 Honesty: Mandatory Standards

As practitioners in the global project management community, we require the following of ourselves and our fellow

practitioners:

5.3.1 We do not engage in or condone behavior that is designed to deceive others, including but not limited to,

making misleading or false statements, stating half-truths, providing information out of context or

withholding information that, if known, would render our statements as misleading or incomplete.

5.3.2 We do not engage in dishonest behavior with the intention of personal gain or at the expense of another.

Comment: The aspirational standards exhort us to be truthful. Half-truths and non-disclosures intended to

mislead stakeholders are as unprofessional as affirmatively making misrepresentations. We develop credibility

by providing complete and accurate information.

APPENDIX A

A.1 History of this Standard

PMI’s vision of project management as an independent profession drove our early work in ethics. In 1981, the PMI

Board of Directors formed an Ethics, Standards and Accreditation Group. One task required the group to deliberate

on the need for a code of ethics for the profession. The team’s report contained the first documented PMI

discussion of ethics for the project management profession. This report was submitted to the PMI Board of

Directors in August 1982 and published as a supplement to the August 1983 Project Management Quarterly.

In the late 1980’s, this standard evolved to become the Ethics Standard for the Project Management Professional

[PMP®]. In 1997, the PMI Board determined the need for a member code of ethics. The PMI Board formed the

Ethics Policy Documentation Committee to draft and publish an ethics standard for PMI’s membership. The Board

approved the new Member Code of Ethics in October 1998. This was followed by Board approval of the Member

Case Procedures in January 1999, which provided a process for the submission of an ethics complaint and a

determination as to whether a violation had occurred.

Since the 1998 Code was adopted, many dramatic changes have occurred within PMI and the business world. PMI

membership has grown significantly. A great deal of growth has also occurred in regions outside North America. In

the business world, ethics scandals have caused the downfall of global corporations and non-profits, causing public

outrage and sparking increased government regulations. Globalization has brought economies closer together but

has caused a realization that our practice of ethics may differ from culture to culture. The rapid, continuing pace of

technological change has provided new opportunities, but has also introduced new challenges, including new

ethical dilemmas.

For these reasons, in 2003 the PMI Board of Directors called for the reexamination of our codes of ethics. In 2004,

the PMI Board commissioned the Ethics Standards Review Committee [ESRC] to review the codes of ethics and

develop a process for revising the codes. The ESRC developed processes that would encourage active

participation by the global project management community. In 2005, the PMI Board approved the processes for

revising the code, agreeing that global participation by the project management community was paramount. In

2005, the Board also commissioned the Ethics Standards Development Committee to carry out the Board-approved

process and deliver the revised code by the end of 2006. This Code of Ethics and Professional Development was

approved by the PMI Board of Directors in October 2006.

A.2 Process Used to Create This Standard

The first step by the Ethics Standards Development Committee [ESDC] in the development of this Code was to

understand the ethical issues facing the project management community and to understand the values and

viewpoints of practitioners from all regions of the globe. This was accomplished by a variety of mechanisms

including focus group discussions and two internet surveys involving practitioners, members, volunteers, and

people holding a PMI certification. Additionally, the team analyzed the ethics codes of 24 non-profit associations

from various regions of the world, researched best practices in the development of ethics standards, and explored

the ethics-related tenets of PMI’s strategic plan.

This extensive research conducted by the ESDC provided the backdrop for developing the exposure draft of the

PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. The exposure draft was circulated to the global project management

community for comment. The rigorous, standards development processes established by the American National

Standards Institute were followed during the development of the Code because these processes were used for PMI

technical standard development projects and were deemed to represent the best practices for obtaining and

adjudicating stakeholder feedback to the exposure draft.

The result of this effort is a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct that not only describes the ethical values to

which the global project management community aspires, but also addresses the specific conduct that is

mandatory for every individual bound by this Code. Violations of the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct

may result in sanctions by PMI under the ethics Case Procedures.

The ESDC learned that as practitioners of project management, our community takes its commitment to ethics very

seriously and we hold ourselves and our peers in the global project management community accountable to

conduct ourselves in accordance with the provisions of this Code.

APPENDIX B

I hereby release, discharge and indemnify PMI, its directors, officers, members, examiners, employees,

attorneys, representatives, agents and the PMI Certification Department from any actions, suits, obligations,

damages, claims or demands arising out of or in connection with this application, the scores given with

respect to the examination or any other action taken by PMI with regard to credentialing, testing and

professional development including, but not limited to, all actions related to ethics matters and cases. I

understand and agree that any decision concerning my qualification for any credential, as well as any

decisions regarding my continuing qualification for any credential and my compliance with the PMI Code of

Ethics and Professional Conduct, rest within the sole and exclusive discretion of PMI, and that these

decisions are final.

This Agreement may be updated or revised from time to time. It is your responsibility to obtain the most up-to-date copy

online. Document last updated March 2007.

Use of Your PMI Credential

Once you receive a passing score on your examination or the Multi-rater Assessment (for the PgMP),

you are granted a PMI credential. You may refer to yourself as a CAPM, PMP or PgMP as long as you

have an active certification status.

Certificate Package

Within six to eight weeks, you will receive a credential package that includes:

• Congratulatory letter

• Information on how to maintain and/or renew your credential

• Credential certificate

Both of these documents list your:

• Credential number – a unique identification number used by PMI to maintain your individual

certification records

• Your credential cycle dates

You will want to file this information in a safe and easily accessible location. You will need to refer to it in

order to maintain your credential.

Until you receive your certificate package, you may use your score report (available online through the

certification system) to validate your credential status.

Online Credential Registry

PMI’s online Credential Registry automatically lists names of all credential holders. This feature allows

verification of credential holders for the benefit of employers, service purchasers and others. Users can

search for credential holders by first name, last name, or by country.

Credential holders can choose to be removed from the registry, so the absence of your name in the

registry does not necessarily mean that you are not credentialed. You can opt in for inclusion in the

registry or update your demographic information by visiting the PMI Members area of www.PMI.org if

you are a PMI member. Non-members should contact Customer Care.
