​
6. What happens if the PMP credential holder does not renew PMP® Certification at the end of the 3-year CCR Cycle?
Well, this is an unfortunate but not unique situation. PMI clearly states that if a PMP® does not renew the PMP® Certificate at the end of 3 Year CCR Cycle, their PMP Status will be put under Suspended Mode for One year. Therefore, this PMP®, Suspended mode status is applicable for One Year after PMP® Certification CCR Cycle is Over.
PMP Certification Suspended mode can be revoked i.e., get back to Active Status when the certification holder earns 60 PDUs and completes the necessary process to Renew PMP Certification within one year.
After One year, the certification holder will lose PMP Certification Credential entirely and need to retake the PMP® Exam.
Also, the Certification Holder cannot use the title PMP in Suspended Mode and stands to miss out on jobs/opportunities reserved for PMP® Certified Staff.
​
​
7. Can I renew my PMP Certification early?
That's a great question, and most of the newly certified PMP project staff ask this query.
Although PMI provided a CCR period of up to three years for a PMP to earn and claim 60 PDUs to renew Certification, we strongly recommend credential holders not to wait till the last year.
Kindly note:-
PMP Renewal Fee (in USD)
1. Member - $60
2. Non Member - $150
If you renew your PMP within one year of getting certified, you will end up paying just 60$ to Renew PMP (being a member of PMI®) as compared to $150 if you choose to renew at the end of three years.
