This week, PMI® announced that beginning July 1st 2019 it is moving to Pearson VUE for all its certification examinations worldwide (except for China).
Additional test locations: With more testing locations available, choosing a convenient test site is easier than ever.
Online proctoring for PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)®: Candidates can now test from their home or office for increased convenience and ease-of-access. No other certifications are scheduled for online proctoring at this time.
Versatility to U.S. Service Members: Pearson VUE offers a global U.S. Federal and military on-base test center network in the marketplace, allowing US Service and government members to test where they serve around the world.
Starting 1 April 2019, all PMI certification exams will be available for scheduling through Pearson VUE. Testing with Pearson VUE will begin 1 July 2019. We will stop testing at Prometric for all PMI certifications on 30 June.
You can keep that appointment and test as planned, regardless of the certification exam.
For candidates in this situation, PMI writes that “we will work with Prometric and Pearson VUE to have that appointment moved to a Pearson VUE location”. What will most likely happen is that PMI will reach out to youin the coming days or weeks and ask you to reschedule your exam at a Pearson VUE testing location near you.
