PMP Certification Eligibility Criteria 
 
 
SET A - 
 
 
1. 4 year degree - 
 
 
The candidate is required to have a 4 year degree from a reputed college or university. The college or 
university should be very prestigious and should be well-respected by the international ranking 
agencies of the world. The college or university should also have all the facilities which a high-class 
institution is required to have to hold that distinction. 
 
The candidate must not have any black marks on his record and he must be very meritorious. That is, 
he should have a stellar academic record during his enrollment as a student at that college or university 
and he should not have indulged in any kind of criminal activity whatsoever. His conduct must be 
excellent. 
 
He must have completed the 4 year program without any black marks on his academic record or any 
problems arising from conflict with the teachers or other students. His teachers should all be very 
happy with him and should give very positive feedback about him. PMP certification training cannot 
help a candidate with this. 
 
 
2. 36 months leading projects - 
 
 
The candidate must have spent at least 36 months or 3 years in leading projects. By leading projects we 
mean that the candidate must have been a part of multiple projects in the capacity of a project manager 
for 3 years. He must have performed the functions of leading, directing, and managing multiple 
projects for a time period spanning at least 3 years or more. 
 
The PMI has a very strict classification for which projects it counts as valid. It only counts projects 
which have been completely successful as valid and it only counts projects which have a large-scale as 
valid. It does not count projects which were small scale, or which were dismal failures. Thus, the 
project manager should take care to only include projects of the first kind in his application. PMP 
certification cannot help a candidate with this. 
 
 
3. 35 hours of training of project management or a CAPM certification - 
 
 
The candidate is required to possess 35 hours of contact training in project management. This is a strict 
and hard-set requirement set into place by the PMI. PMP certification training will help with fulfilling 
this requirement. 
 
 
SET B - 
 
 
1. A high-school degree - 
 
 
The candidate is required to have a high school degree from a reputed high school. The high school 
should be very prestigious and should be well-respected by the international ranking agencies of the 
world. The college or university should also have all the facilities which a high-class institution is 
required to have to hold that distinction. 
 
The candidate must not have any black marks on his record and he must be very meritorious. That is,
