PMP® Certification Program

PMP® Certification — Lead Projects with Global Standards

What is PMP®?

Career opportunity knocks as the need for project talent continues to grow. Research indicates that employers will need to fill nearly 2.2 million new project-oriented roles each year through 2027. This means skilled project managers will be in high demand.

Wherever you are in your career, the globally recognized Project Management Professional (PMP) certification tells employers, peers, and the world you know what you’re doing in project management.

Even if “project manager” isn’t part of your title, the PMP applies to anyone who helps bring a project to completion. Just like a CPA validates expertise for accountants, the PMP recognizes your ability to manage projects—and the hard work you’ve done so far.

Why PMP®?

PMP delivers value far into your career. CIO magazine ranked PMP as the top project management certification because it demonstrates the specific skills and experience employers seek. Certified PMPs report earning up to 25% more than non-certified project management professionals.
