Maximize your Exam Prep learning at no additional cost:
The PMP® Exam is challenging and it can take a few attempts to pass it. That’s why we’re offering you the opportunity to re-take PROJ-120 up to two times, at no additional cost. Here's how:
- Register and pay for PROJ-120. Complete the course.
- Once you’re ready (ideally within three months of course completion), apply and write the PMP® Exam with PMI.
If you’re unsuccessful:
- in the first exam attempt, re-register and complete a new section of PROJ-120 at no cost.
- in your second exam attempt, re-register and complete a new section of PROJ-120 again at no cost. Then write your third attempt of the exam.
Note: Once your application to PMI has been approved, you are granted a one-year eligibility period in which to write and pass the PMP® Exam. During the eligibility period, you may take the exam up to three times. Reexamination fees apply to the second and third attempts to pass the exam. After three attempts, you must wait one year from the date of the last exam you took to reapply for the certification.
Our PROJ-120 course does not include PMP® Exam fees nor the PMI membership fee (optional). Learn more about PMI’s PMP® Exam process and requirements.
