More than 370,000 practitioners worldwide hold this credential. Earning the PMP^® demonstrates that you have the experience, education and competency to successfully lead and direct projects.

This recognition is seen through increased marketability to employers and higher salary; according to the PMI Salary Survey – Sixth Edition, a PMP^® increases your salary up to 10% more than your non-credentialed colleagues and peers.

Whether you are new to project management, changing careers, or already serving as a subject matter expert on project teams, the CAPM^® can get your career on the right path or take it to the next level.
