PMP exam resources

The official PMI pages every PMP candidate needs, in one place, explained in simple English. Links checked: October 2026. PMI changes its pages and prices often, so always confirm on PMI.org.

PMCLEAR is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by PMI. We link to PMI because the official rules and materials come from PMI. PMCLEAR does not provide the 35 hours of training that the application requires.

1. Can I apply? (eligibility)

You need one education-and-experience combination, counted from projects you managed in the last 10 years:

Plus 35 hours of project management training (or an active CAPM® certification). From 1 December 2026, live instructor-led classes count only from a PMI Authorized Training Partner, a China REP or an eligible accredited program; PMI's own self-paced course also counts.

PMI members usually pay less for PMI courses and the practice exam. Check the current price on PMI.org.

4. Applying and the audit

5. After you pass

Where PMCLEAR fits

Use PMI's materials for the official content and a full simulation. Use PMCLEAR for the part most courses skip if English is not your first language: the English of the question. Every one of our 1,495 questions shows the key trigger words, the PMP rule, and why each wrong answer is wrong, with translation into 24 languages when you need it.
