To be eligible for PMP certification, you must first meet specific education and experience requirements and agree to adhere to a code of professional conduct. PMI's education requirements will be fulfilled by successfully completing the UMBC PMP training course, but the experience requirements are extensive, and can be referenced more specifically at www.pmi.org. The final step in becoming a PMP credential holder is passing a multiple-choice examination designed to objectively assess and measure your project management knowledge.
