Credential Holders Talk about the Benefit of Maintaining their Credentials

Credential holders around the globe recognize the value of maintaining their PMI credentials. Find out more about how to maintain your credential with the Continuing Certification Requirements program online.

“After earning the PMP^® credential in 2006, I have built upon my knowledge and skills and earned the necessary PDUs for maintaining my credential by delivering project management lectures, attending workshops and listening to eminent speakers along with my day to day project management activities. I am an active PMI member and volunteer, and belong to the local chapter. My credential has opened doors of opportunity for me.

Four years after earning the credential, I still bask in the glory of being a part of the elite global community that defines, manages, promotes and augments globally accepted project management practices. To maintain the credential and be a notch above the rest in the project management community is truly an enthralling state of being.”

“I maintain my PMP credential because it makes me a better project manager. The best practices and new techniques I learn while achieving continuing certification requirements enable me to improve my skills and my project results. I strive to achieve PDUs in as many categories as possible and exceed the number required to maintain certification.

Maintaining the PMP credential has enabled me to improve project results and increase career satisfaction.”
