Which edition and exam is the PMP based on in 2026?

The PMP is aligned to the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and the current PMP Examination Content Outline. The updated exam covers three domains: People, Process and Business Environment

What are the prerequisites for the PMP?

PMI publishes four qualifying paths and you need to meet one of them. Path A: upper-secondary or secondary school completion (EQF Level 4 / ISCED 34) plus 60 months (5 years) leading and directing projects. Path B: an associate-level, higher-certificate or advanced technical/vocational qualification (EQF Level 5 / ISCED 5) plus 48 months (4 years). Path C: a bachelor's degree, or an advanced professional qualification formally mapped to EQF Level 6 / ISCED 6, plus 36 months (3 years). Path D: a degree from a program accredited by PMI's Global Accreditation Center (GAC) plus 24 months (2 years). Every path also requires 35 hours of commercial training (often called contact hours) in project management, which this course provides. Your experience must be non-overlapping and accrued within the last 10 years before you apply, in a professional setting, leading and directing projects.

How long is the PMP valid and how do I renew it?

The PMP is valid for three years. To maintain it you earn 60 professional development units (PDUs) within each three-year continuing certification requirements (CCR) cycle and pay PMI's renewal fee. The requirements are set out in the PMI CCR Handbook.

What is included in the PMP training fee?

The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, 35 contact hours, practice questions, mock exams, downloadable templates, application guidance and learner support, plus a course completion certificate. Speak with a learning advisor for a detailed quote.

How much does the PMP exam cost?

PMI bills the exam fee separately in USD, and for reference it is USD 425 for PMI members and USD 675 for non-members. Prices can vary. PMI membership can reduce the exam cost and includes free access to the PMBOK Guide. For current fees and exactly what your course includes, talk to our team at contact@invensislearning.com.

Do you offer group or corporate discounts in Houston?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customized schedules and volume-based pricing for teams and departments across Houston. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

Are payment or installment options available?

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

Is the exam fee included in the training price?

No. The PMI exam fee is paid separately to PMI when you schedule your exam. The training fee covers your preparation, courseware, contact hours and support, not the exam itself.

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

The PMP exam has 180 questions with an allotted time of 240 minutes (4 hours). Of those, 170 are scored and 10 are unscored pretest questions placed at random, which do not affect your result. Two 10-minute breaks are provided: the first after the case study section, the second about midway through the independent questions. The optional tutorial and survey are not counted in the 240 minutes. The 2026 exam uses case or scenario questions and graphic-based questions, both new in 2026, alongside multiple-choice single response, multiple-response and matching questions. Enhanced matching and point-and-click (hotspot) questions are available at test centers only. You can sit the exam at a Pearson VUE test center or online proctored.

What is the passing score for the PMP exam?

PMI does not publish a passing score or a fixed pass percentage for the PMP exam. Results are reported as pass or fail with performance feedback by domain, so aim for broad competence across all three domains rather than a target percentage.

What are the PMP exam domains and their weights?

The PMP exam covers three domains. In PMI's Examination Content Outline (July 2026) they are weighted People 33%, Process 41% and Business Environment 26%. People spans 8 tasks covering shared vision, conflict, team leadership, stakeholder engagement and communication. Process spans 10 tasks covering integrated planning, scope, value-based delivery, resources, procurement, finance, quality, schedule, project status and closure. Business Environment spans 8 tasks covering governance, compliance, change control, impediments, risk, continuous improvement, organizational change and external business environment changes. Business Environment rose from 8% to 26% in the 2026 update, the largest single change to the exam.

What if I do not pass the PMP exam the first time?

You get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. If you do not pass in three attempts, PMI requires you to wait one year from the date of your last exam before reapplying, although you may apply for another PMI certification during that year. If your eligibility period simply expires without a pass, you reapply with no waiting period. Our mock exams, scenario practice and trainer support are built to help you pass first time.

Where can I take the PMP exam in Houston?

You can sit the exam at a Pearson VUE test center in the Houston area or online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctored system from home or office. Scheduling happens once PMI approves your application. Our team can help you plan your exam date - email contact@invensislearning.com.

What topics does the PMP training cover?

The training covers three PMP domains: People, Process and Business Environment

It delivers the 35 hours of commercial training (often called contact hours) PMI requires, builds concepts from the ground up, and includes practice and guidance to support learners who are new to the PMI process.

Are practice tests and mock exams included?
