FAQs

What are the prerequisites for studying a PMI certification?

Each PMI certification has different prerequisites, such as a specific level of work experience or education. For example, PMP candidates need several years of project management experience, while CAPM is suitable for beginners with no prerequisites.

Do PMI certifications require renewal, and if so, how often?

Yes, PMI certifications require periodic renewal through continuing education. For example, the PMP certification must be renewed every three years by earning Professional Development Units (PDUs).

Are PMI training courses delivered online, or do you offer in-person options?

We offer both online, live virtual classroom and in-person classroom training options, depending on your location and preferences. The online format is flexible, allowing you to learn at your own pace, while in-person classes provide hands-on, instructor-led training.

Can I purchase PMI exams through ILX?

No, unfortunately you cannot purchase PMI exams from ILX. If you would like to take one of their exams, you will need to apply to the PMI, and they will need to authenticate that you have met the prerequisite criteria.
