Capital-Efficiency Pressure

Capital discipline in real estate and infrastructure pushes tighter scope, budget and risk control, so employers hire leaders who can protect value on every project.

What You Will Master in This ProgrammeSkills Mapped to the Four PMI-CP Domains

This PMI-CP training builds the construction project management skills the exam and real projects demand. By the end, you can manage contracts, engage stakeholders, control scope and risk, and govern delivery across the full construction lifecycle.

Contract Types and Delivery Methods

Skills covered in the PMI-CP start with the exam's largest domain: you will learn to evaluate contract types (lump sum, cost-plus, GMP, target cost) and delivery methods (design-bid-build, design-build, EPC, IPD), and advise on risk allocation for each construction project.

Contract Administration and Subcontracts

Administer construction contracts end to end: interpret terms, manage notices, payment applications and retainage, and control subcontract and supplier agreements so obligations and performance stay on track.

Variations, Claims and Dispute Management

Identify, document and evaluate scope changes and variation orders, and manage claims for delay, disruption and differing site conditions through negotiation, mediation, adjudication and arbitration.

Stakeholder and Owner Engagement

Identify, analyse and engage owners, designers, contractors, regulators and communities, and run the communications that keep complex construction projects aligned across their lifecycle.

Strategy, Scope, Schedule and Risk Control

Define the project execution plan and scope baseline, then manage schedule, budget, risk and quality using critical path and earned value techniques to keep delivery on target.

Project Governance and Reporting

Establish governance frameworks, decision rights and reporting, run performance reviews and audits, and maintain document control, compliance and ethical conduct across the project.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

The PMI Construction Professional (PMI-CP) is PMI's specialist credential for the construction industry, validating your ability to deliver complex construction projects. It is designed for construction project managers, contracts and commercial leads, site managers and owner's representatives with construction experience.

General

What is the PMI-CP certification and who is it for?

Is the PMI-CP worth it for construction professionals in Shanghai?

Yes. In Shanghai, construction project manager roles average around ¥420,000 a year, rising well beyond that for contracts managers, senior project managers and directors. With a strong project pipeline and few globally credentialed construction leaders, the PMI-CP helps you stand out. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your route.

Is the PMI-CP recognised in Shanghai and across China?

Yes. As a PMI credential, the PMI-CP carries recognition through PMI's network in over 200 countries. It is valued by Shanghai contractors, developers, engineering consultancies and international joint ventures that want globally recognised construction project management skill.

How does the PMI-CP differ from the PMP?

The PMP is a broad project management credential across all industries, while the PMI-CP specialises in construction, with Contracts Management as its largest domain at 50%. The PMP is not required for the PMI-CP, and the two are complementary for construction project managers.

How long is the PMI-CP certification valid?

The PMI-CP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle within each three-year cycle. The 56 PDUs from the four prerequisite modules can be applied toward renewal.

Pricing

How much does PMI-CP training cost in Shanghai?

PMI-CP training fees vary by format and provider, and are available on request. The PMI exam fee is billed separately in USD and is not part of the training fee. Request a quote for current Shanghai pricing and group options.

What is included in the PMI-CP course fee?

The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions and mock exams across the four domains, guidance on the four prerequisite modules and the PMI application, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours.

Is the exam fee included in the training price?

No. PMI bills the PMI-CP exam fee separately in USD, with member and non-member rates. As a reference, the exam is around USD 520 for members and USD 670 for non-members; confirm current fees on PMI.org before applying.

Do you offer corporate or group discounts for PMI-CP training?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for construction firms, developers and consultancies. Contact us for a tailored quote for your team.

What payment options are available?

We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

Exam

What is the format of the PMI-CP exam?

The PMI-CP exam is closed book with multiple-choice questions in single-answer and multiple-answer formats. It is delivered online through Pearson VUE OnVUE proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test centre, and is based on the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline (ECO).

How many questions are on the PMI-CP exam and how long is it?

The PMI-CP exam has 120 questions and an allotted time of 230 minutes, which is 3 hours and 50 minutes. Results are reported with domain-level feedback rather than a fixed percentage score.

What are the PMI-CP exam domains and their weights?

The exam covers four domains per the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%). Contracts Management is the largest, reflecting its centrality in construction.

What is the passing score for the PMI-CP exam?

PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score that is not published as a fixed number. Results are reported as pass or fail with domain performance feedback, so aim for broad mastery across all four domains.

What if I do not pass the PMI-CP exam the first time?

PMI permits up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period from application approval. Our practice questions, mock exams and trainer guidance are designed to build your readiness before you sit the exam.

What are the prerequisites and mandatory modules for the PMI-CP?

You must complete four self-paced modules (Project Communications, Interface Management, Scope and Change Order Management, and Contract and Risk Management), each 14 PDUs, plus construction experience and 35 contact hours of project management education. Experience needed is 60, 36 or 24 months depending on your education.

Course Content

What topics does the PMI-CP training cover?

The training covers the four PMI-CP domains: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%), including contract types, variations, claims, stakeholder engagement, scope, schedule, risk and governance.

How do the four mandatory prerequisite modules work?

All candidates must complete four self-paced foundational modules in any order before applying, each a 6 to 10 hour commitment awarding 14 PDUs, for 56 PDUs total. Our training includes guidance on completing these modules alongside your exam preparation.

Does this training meet the 35 contact hours requirement?

The instructor-led programme provides 32 contact hours, which is close to but below the 35 contact hours of project management education PMI requires. Ask us how supplementary self-study and pre-reading can be credited toward the 35-hour requirement.

Are practice tests and mock exams included?

Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams mapped to the 120-question, 230-minute PMI-CP format, plus topic-wise quizzes to help you identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

Is the courseware aligned to the current PMI-CP syllabus?

Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current PMI-CP Examination Content Outline (ECO) and the PMBOK Guide, covering the four exam domains and construction industry practices as PMI defines them.

Enrollment

What are the eligibility requirements to sit the PMI-CP exam?
