What is PMI?

One of the most crucial areas of a company is project management, which involves proper planning and implementation of projects that will boost a company's sales and profits. Hence, companies want to hire project managers and analysts who are capable of originating viable projects and see them through completion.

The Project Management Institute, or PMI, is the foremost authority on project management, and sets the standards for this profession. It is the largest membership organization of project management professionals and has over 200,000 members in more than a hundred countries. It grants project management certification to individuals who have succeeded in completing adequate training and who have passed a qualifying examination.

Benefits of PMI Certification

Being a PMI-recognized professional gives you a prestigious status and enables you to have that extra edge in your career compared to non-certified cohorts.

PMI certification tells your employer that you have acquired the proper training and experience to handle the most challenging projects. Employers usually prefer to hire PMI certified people and are willing to give you higher compensation and benefits.

How to Acquire PMI Certification Training

PMI does not directly give training and examination review courses for PMI certification. However, you may take the review courses through a PMI- accredited agency or center.

There are PMI certification training courses available in local colleges or institutes, or you may also take them online.

You need to satisfy certain requirements before taking the PMI certification course. Specifically, you need to have a minimum number of hours of job experience in project management or equivalent school training. The extent of your own background in project management will be the main criterion for the center to determine which type and length of PMI certification training you will need.

The length of time it will take for you to complete the course depends on your own availability, especially if you are taking the course online. It ranges from a few months to a year in most cases.

After completion of the PMI certification training, you are ready to take the examination. You can arrange to take this examination in your country or state, by checking with the PMI site for the examination schedules.

Upon passing the examination, you will receive a PMI certificate and you can register as a PMI member. PMI membership entitles you to networking opportunities with other members for career searches and information sharing. You can also get special discounts on books and materials that PMI offers exclusively to members, as well as free access to other PMI publications.

PMI certificates are not related to mortgage certificates.
