USA

What US candidates need to know in 2026

The exam changed in July 2026

The new PMP exam has 180 questions in 240 minutes. Business Environment grew from 8% to 26% of the exam, while People is now 33% and Process 41%. Our course follows the new outline.

The 35-hour rule changes on December 1, 2026

PMI has announced that from December 1, 2026 it accepts live training hours only from PMI Authorized Training Partners. Training you complete before that date still counts under the current rules, so plan your batch with your application date in mind.

Membership pays for itself

The exam costs $675 for non-members and $425 for PMI members, a $250 difference. For most US candidates, joining PMI before applying costs less than the saving.
