Your Questions, Answered
What is the cost of becoming a certified PMP trainer?
The cost includes $530for the TTT voucher. Additionally, ATP fees range from $499 to $999, depending on the provider, and you’ll need approximately $100 for courseware. These costs cover your training, certification, and the resources needed to deliver high-quality PMP courses.
How long does the process take?
The timeline can vary, but typically the process, including application submission, fee payment, 2 days training, assessment, and onboarding can be completed within 5 days provided you clear the assessment. It’s a relatively easy and swift process, allowing you to start your training career promptly.
Do I need to renew my trainer certification?
No, as long as you maintain your PMP certification, there are no additional renewal fees for your trainer credentials. This provides a sustainable path for your career as a PMP trainer.
What is the price difference for in-person, virtual, and on-demand Train the Trainer sessions?
The costs vary based on the format:
- In-person instructor-led session: US $999 per instructor.
- Virtual instructor-led session: US $699 per instructor.
- On-demand session: US $499 per instructor. Currently, only on-demand sessions are available after COVID-19.
Can a freelance instructor register for the Train the Trainer program to offer PMP exam prep courses or Disciplined Agile workshops?
No, instructors must be affiliated with an ATP before registering for the Train the Trainer program. Sponsorship by an ATP is required to become PMP Trainer.
Is the Train the Trainer session PDU-eligible? Can I claim PDUs for completing the session?
Yes, the Train the Trainer 2-day session is PDU-eligible, with 14 PDUs approved. This helps you maintain your PMP certification while expanding your training credentials.
What is the purpose of the digital badge received after completing the Train the Trainer session? Where will it be displayed?
The digital badge signifies that you have completed the Train the Trainer program and are approved by PMI. This badge can be displayed on your personal website, social media and on the “Find an ATP” page on PMI.org, helping prospective students recognize your credentials.
Does the Train the Trainer digital badge transfer with the instructor or is it affiliated with the Authorized Training Partner?
The digital badge is tied to the instructor, not the ATP. If you move from one ATP to another, you can take your digital badge with you, but PMI must be notified of the change.
Is there a deadline for instructors to complete the Train the Trainer session?
Yes, instructors must complete the Train the Trainer session and receive their badge before they can begin leading PMP exam prep or Disciplined Agile workshops. This ensures that all trainers are fully prepared before they start teaching.
What agile project experience is required for PMP exam prep instructors, and why?
Instructors need minimum one year of experience managing agile projects.
