TOPIC: PMP PREPCAST APPLICATION FOR EXAM

Completed contact hours and submitted application. However, after submitting application, the system did not ask for payment in regards to the exam. When will PMI request test funds? Will it be after exceptance or when I schedule test date?

Jennifer,

PMI first performs an "application completeness review". This can take up to 5 days. Once your application has been deemed complete, then you will be asked to pay.

Please check page 6 of the PMP Credential Handbook www.pmi.org/en/Certification/~/media/PDF...pdc_pmphandbook.ashx where you can see an overview of the process.

So after the application has been reviewed and accepted and the funds are paided shortly after.. Do I have to wait another 5 days for final acceptance? Or is the innitial acceptance after application review the final exceptance?

Please advice so that I may prepare.

Jennifer,

Once you pay the fee one of two things can happen:

1.) Instant acceptance. Now you have 1 year to pass the exam.

2.) Selection for audit. Now you have to send in all the supporting documents (PMI will tell you what) in order to have your application audited. Once the application has been audited & approved, go back to #1 above.

Again, take a look at page 6 in the credentials handbook where you'll find a flowchart of the process and steps.
