PMP Certification and PMI membership

Submitted by devmenon on Wed, 10/03/2012 - 15:39

Hi,


Does PMP Certification automatically make you a PMI member or do you have to separately pay for PMI membership ? PMI FAQ is not clear on that.


Regards, Dev

Dev,

PMI membership has to be separately obtained. A PMP credential doesn't automatically qualify you to be a member of PMI.

But most folks usually enrol as a PMI member before taking their PMP(or any other PMI test) because it entitles one to a discounted exam fee.

 Hi Dev

The PMP certification examination fee for PMI members is $ 405. For non-PMI members, it is $ 555.

And the PMP membership fee is $ 129. You have to become PMI member seperately.

You can also take help from http://www.pmstudy.com/about-PMP/Filling_the_PMP_Application.pdf. I took the guidance from this site to fillup my application form.

All the best.

Anyone can become PMI member. Just pay $129 fee + $10 processsing and you are done. Membership is yearly and its benefits are:

1. Discount on PMP exam

2. Access to numerous books and publications

3. Access to PMI newsletters and supplements

Keep in mind, PMI membership is optional and your PMP exam does not mandatory require PMI membership.


Other collogue have already answered about the benefits with PMI membership.
