Questions

Common questions

Can’t see your question? Ask us directly.

Do I qualify to sit the PMP® exam?

PMI sets the rules. In general you need 35 hours of project management education plus project leadership experience: 36 months with a four year degree, or 60 months with a secondary school qualification. Please check the current requirements on pmi.org, and we can help you review your experience.

Is the PMI exam fee included?

No. The exam fee is paid directly to PMI when you apply. PMI members pay a lower fee. We will explain the options during your course.

When is the next class and how much does it cost?

Dates and fees change from cohort to cohort. Send us a message and we will reply with the next available dates, fees and format.

Can you train our whole team?

Yes. We run in house programmes at your offices or online, and we can adapt the content to your sector and projects.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. You receive a Mente Rica certificate of completion. The PMP® credential itself is awarded by PMI after you pass its exam.
