PMI^â Certification Program Notice 

 

To: PMPs, PMP candidates, PMI members, PMI Component Leaders, and PMI Education Providers 

From:  Paul Grace

Certification Program Manager 

Subject: PMP^â Certification Examination Nondisclosure Issues/Notice Concerning The Preparation of Sample Examination Practice Questions. 

It has come to our attention that certain PMI Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s) and other vendors that provide PMP test preparation and training courses may be soliciting recently certified PMPs to participate in the development of sample PMP Examination questions for preparation purposes. Further, I have become aware that some of these solicitations have offered Professional Development Unit (PDU) credits towards PMP renewal requirements upon completion of such activities. 

Please be advised that the PMI Certification Program prohibits PMPs, candidates, R.E.P.s, and others from soliciting, or participating in, the discussion, debriefing or disclosure of the specific content of the PMP Certification Examination, including test questions and answers. Additionally, such activities may constitute a violation of PMI corporate policies and agreement requirements, including the PMI Test Security and Confidentiality Policy. Moreover and the PMP Code of Professional Conduct, such activities may violate PMI’s legal rights, including intellectual property law. Accordingly, all PMPs, PMI members, R.E.P.s, and other persons are advised not to offer, or otherwise participate in, such activities. 

Please note that the PMI Certification Program will not honor or provide PDU credit earned by PMPs engaging in such activities. Appropriate action may be taken against any PMP, candidate, PMI member, R.E.P., or other persons who violate PMI policies related to this matter. 

Thank you for consideration of this information.
