What is the PMP Certification?

The Project Management Institute sponsors a project management certification program: The Project Management Professional (PMP) Program. The purpose and goal of this program is the development, maintenance, evaluation, promotion and administration of a rigorous, examination-based, professional certification program of the highest caliber. In 1999, PMI's Certification Program Department became the first professional certification program department in the world to attain ISO 9001 recognition.

The PMP Program supports the international community of project management professionals and is designed to objectively assess and measure professional knowledge. PMP program requirements and eligibility standards are applied fairly, impartially and consistent with applicable laws.

To achieve PMP certification, each candidate must satisfy all educational and experiential requirements established by PMI and must demonstrate an acceptable and valid level of understanding and knowledge about project management that is tested by the Project Management Professional Certification Examination. AB&Partners support you to optimally prepare for this examination in our PMP Certification Exam Preparation course. We are proud to announce that AB&Partners has a 100% success rate of our participants at the PMP examination.
