The updated
Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential
examination (referred to as the "2005 Examination"
for purposes of this communication) will deploy globally
at 14.00 GMT on Friday, 30 September 2005. Five days
prior, a "blackout" period (beginning on Sunday,
25 September 2005) will commence during which the PMP
credential examination will be unavailable.
Because PMI cannot guarantee
space at any test center, we strongly recommend that
candidates apply early and schedule their examinations
immediately upon receipt of their eligibility notice
to ensure they can reserve a seat to test on the 2004
Examination.
Application and Scheduling
Applications to take the current
PMP examination (referred to as the "2004 Examination"
for purposes of this communication) will be accepted
until Monday, 29 August 2005. Candidates submitting
applications after 29 August will take the 2005 Examination.
Candidates who do not receive a passing score on the
2004 Examination will be permitted to re-take the 2004
examination for a period of one year from the date of
their last attempt; however, these will be the only
candidates permitted to take the 2004 Examination after
the release of the 2005 Examination.
