The process of eligibility it is, summarizing, the stage at which you submit to the PMI their experiences as professional project management, and also their academic experience in the subject. The PMI analyzes the information submitted and returns an opinion stating whether you are eligible or not to carry proof of certification (PMP, PMI-SP, CAPM, PMI-RMP, PMI-ACP you PgMP).
The opinion of the PMI is valid for only one year, but gives you three chances to try to pass the test certification. Unfortunately, for each trial, you will have to pay a fee to get the review schedule a new date to conduct the test.
But that everything I wrote you already know, but it is good to clarify before answering actually doubt this post (Eligibility expired, and now?).
See three cases for the elegibilidade expires. They are:
1 – The period of one year has passed and you have not tried to prove;
2 – The period of one year has passed, You tried to take the test once or twice and failed; and
3 – The maximum number of attempts (three) to perform the test has been reached.
Analyzing what is written in PMP Handbook, page 31, cliche “Reexamination”, have:
For the cases 1 and 2 above, PMI Handbook does not explain very well what must be done. I believe that the candidate has to redo the whole process again eligibility, PMI for submitting all required documentation to a new analysis and getting a new look.
For the case 3, o PMI Handbook é bem claro. The candidate will have to wait one year, counting from the date of útlima attempt, and redo the whole process again eligibility.
I even found a bit of sarcasm in what is written in the PMP Handbook, but there is guidance that, If failed in three attempts, you then try another certification.
Now I want to raise a controversy. As I explained up there, the eligibility process is to say if you are fit or not to try to prove certification, Why should resubmit all documentation, starting another process, now been approved previously? OK, the candidate flunked the test, but his experience, professional and academic, remain the same! What do you think of it? Write in the comments and we will discuss it.
