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 domains.

What standard is the PfMP exam based on?

The exam is based on the PfMP Examination Content Outline, which is aligned to PMI's Standard for Portfolio Management, Fourth Edition. Our courseware maps directly to the 4th Edition standard and its five performance domains.

You submit an online application documenting your business and portfolio management experience. After approval, you complete a subject-matter-expert panel review that assesses your competency. Both the panel review and the written exam must be passed to earn the credential.

Course Content

Do I need prior experience to take the PfMP training?

Anyone can attend the training to build knowledge and earn contact hours. To sit the PfMP exam, however, PMI requires substantial business and portfolio management experience. Our trainers help you assess eligibility and document your experience for the application.
