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

The Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP) is PMI's most senior portfolio credential for professionals who manage portfolios of projects and programs aligned to organizational strategy. It suits portfolio managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery, and senior practitioners with substantial portfolio experience in Anchorage.

General

What is the PfMP certification and who is it for?

Is the PfMP worth it for professionals in Anchorage?

Yes. PfMP validates senior portfolio leadership and opens roles such as Portfolio Manager, Head of PMO, and PMO Director. In Alaska these roles command strong pay, with PMO Director averaging around $203,730, and certified leaders are in demand as employers mature their PMOs.

Which standard is the PfMP based on?

The PfMP is based on PMI's PfMP Examination Content Outline and the Standard for Portfolio Management, Fourth Edition. Together they define the five performance domains: Strategic Alignment, Governance, Portfolio Performance, Portfolio Risk Management, and Communications Management.

Is PMP or PgMP required before PfMP?

No. Neither PMP nor PgMP is a prerequisite for PfMP. Eligibility is based on general business experience and portfolio management experience, not on prior PMI certifications, though many senior portfolio managers hold one or both credentials.

How long is the PfMP certification valid?

PfMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle, with at least eight PDUs in each area, within every three-year continuing certification requirements cycle.

Pricing

What is included in the PfMP course fee?

The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, exam simulator access, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, and learner support. The PMI exam fee is billed separately. Request a quote for current pricing in Anchorage.

How much does PfMP training cost in Anchorage?

Instructor-led PfMP training pricing is available on request and varies by format and cohort. The PMI exam fee is charged separately in USD under regional pricing. Talk to a learning advisor for a tailored quote and available batches.

How much is the PfMP exam fee?

For reference, PMI lists the PfMP exam at around USD 800 for members and USD 1,000 for non-members; fees can vary, so confirm current amounts at pmi.org. PMI membership can lower the exam and renewal costs.

Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customized schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, business units, and leadership teams across Alaska. Ask about corporate and group pricing for a tailored quote.

What payment options are available?

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

Exam

What is the format of the PfMP exam?

The PfMP exam is a closed-book, computer-based, multiple-choice examination based on the PfMP Examination Content Outline and the Standard for Portfolio Management, Fourth Edition. It uses scenario and situational questions across the five performance domains.

How many questions are on the PfMP exam and how long is it?

The PfMP exam has 170 questions and a four-hour allotted time. Questions are distributed across the five domains: Strategic Alignment, Governance, Portfolio Performance, Portfolio Risk Management, and Communications Management.

What is the passing score for the PfMP exam?

PMI does not publish a fixed percentage pass mark. Results are determined through psychometric analysis and reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback, so focus on broad mastery across all five performance domains.

What is the PfMP panel review?

The panel review is a multi-rater assessment unique to PfMP. A panel of portfolio management practitioners evaluates your documented experience and competency. It is mandatory in addition to the written exam, and both must be passed to earn the credential.

What happens if I do not pass the exam?

PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period from application approval. Reexamination fees apply to later attempts. Our practice resources and trainer support are designed to help you prepare thoroughly the first time.

Course Content

What topics are covered in the PfMP training?

The training covers the five PfMP performance domains: Strategic Alignment, Governance, Portfolio Performance, Portfolio Risk Management, and Communications Management, plus the PfMP application, panel review, and exam strategy.

Can I take this course without prior portfolio experience?

You can enroll in the training at any experience level to build knowledge and earn contact hours. To sit the PfMP exam, however, PMI requires substantial business and portfolio management experience, which the training helps you document and apply.

What learning resources are provided?

You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the PfMP Examination Content Outline and the Standard for Portfolio Management overview, templates, flashcards, chapter-wise quizzes, and access to practice questions and an exam simulator.

Are mock exams and practice questions included?

Yes. The program includes practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator, and topic-wise quizzes that help you identify weak areas and build readiness for the 170-question exam.

Is the courseware aligned with the current PfMP syllabus?

Yes. The courseware is aligned to PMI's Standard for Portfolio Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PfMP Examination Content Outline, so you study to the same framework the exam is built on.

Enrollment

What are the eligibility requirements to sit the PfMP exam?

PMI offers three eligibility sets. All require 120 months of business experience within the past 15 years, plus portfolio management experience of 84 months (secondary diploma), 48 months (bachelor's degree), or 36 months (GAC-accredited degree), and a panel review.
