Application Audit

Currently, a percentage of accepted applications are selected for audit by the PMI Certification
Program Department. Beginning in 2003, PMI will be enhancing this audit process, and can-
didates will be audited prior to being deemed eligible to sit for the PMP examination.
Submission of an application indicates agreement to comply with audit terms. During an
audit, PMPs will be asked to submit documentation such as copies of their baccalaureate/
global equivalent university degrees and signatures of their supervisor(s) or manager(s) from
the project(s) documented on Experience Verification Forms. Any misrepresentations or
incorrect information provided to the PMI Certification Program Department will result in dis-
cipline, including suspension or revocation of eligibility and/or certification.

• are independently validated by PMPs
• are referenced to current resources from project management textbook sources
• satisfy the test specifications of a job analysis

The passing score for the PMP Certification Examination is determined by a criterion-referenced

guidelines and professionals to be one of the most defensible methods available for establishing a passing score
