In order to attend the SpringBOK course and take the exam, all PMP Candidates must complete the following 8 steps:
1. Register with SpringBOK Training
2. Submit your PMP application online
Use the SpringBOK template to organize your project experience first. Big time saver!
3. Pay the exam fee to PMI once your application is approved.
PMI typically takes about a week to review and approve applications. (Please note that the exam fee is paid to PMI, not SpringBOK, and is separate from the SpringBOK course fee.)
4. If necessary, complete audit paperwork.
Approximately 15% of applications are audited through a random selection process. The audit process has been streamlined, so not as intimidating as it once was. After you pay for the exam, if you do not receive an email within a few minutes notifying you of an audit then you are free and clear!
5. Schedule the exam.
We will schedule the exam for you at a test center near the class location for Friday, the last day of the course. You are also welcome to schedule your own exam if you prefer.
6. Attend the SpringBOK Accelerated PMP Prep course
7. Take – and pass – the PMP exam.
8. Celebrate your new credential!!!!
Note: We strongly recommend becoming a PMI member before paying for the exam. In addition to the benefits of PMI membership, you will also receive a discount on the PMP exam fee that is greater than the cost of PMI membership.
