Certification: PMI PMP - Project Management Professional
When it comes to attaining a PMP accreditation, one has to sit for an examination and with such the exams is designed into two different versions. The versions are the computer-based testing commonly referred to as CBT and the paper-based testing referred to as PBT. It is known that the CBT version is the standard method for administering the PMP examination meaning an individual has no option of taking a CBT or PBT examination. However there are special circumstances under which the PBT is usually issued but before these special reasons, one has to know in detail what the computer based testing version is all about.
Computer-based testing:
As well known, this exam version is prioritized under the PMI administration and as such there are certain requirements before this can be a success. First of all there has to be Computer-based testing centers that are usually listed on the; Prometric website. This website is the leading examination administration partner of Project Management Institute and it provides quality and comprehensive tests and other assessment services. With centers in place the other requirement is that the PMI receives and affirms one’s PMP credential payment before scheduling for an examination appointment. Once this is accomplished then the individual can schedule for the exams online.
Scheduling exams online
This is usually done at the prometric website where there are usually two sides once one accesses the page. Therefore a PMP candidate selects the left side then certain requirements have to be successfully completed;
With all the above steps one is considered to have successfully completed the process for scheduling a PMP examination and has the option of clicking the ‘complete appointment’ button and then submits the form. As a result an individual is provided with a 16 digit confirmation number that is unique and clear indication that one is eligible to undertake the PMP computer-based examination. For purposes of security one is sent a confirmation e-mail of the same effect that is required to be shown in case of any discrepancies.
It is normal to find situations where an individual decides to reschedule or cancel their CBT examinations and there is certain criterion to be followed.
Rescheduling CBT examinations:
One is required to go to the prometric website after which one is required to select the left side of the ‘I want to….’ section. Follow the instructions provided after selecting ‘Rescheduling/ Cancel’ also in this circumstance one has to provide their unique identification number given previously. Despite this being an easy step to undertake, it comes along with certain penalties depending on the time span of cancellation from the date when actual scheduling was done. This is divided into two
1. Within 30 days of one’s appointment
There are two ways to go about this. When one reschedules the exams a day before the actual date of the exam appointment, then there is no fee that they are required to pay but if one decides to reschedule the examination days before the actual date of the exam appointment then they are liable to US $70 fee penalty.
2. Within 2 days of one’s appointment
In this case any individual who opts to cancel or reschedule their examination is either liable to a penalty fee of US $70 or is unable to reschedule the exam though one can have the option of cancelling the appointment and then forfeit their entire examination fee.
Paper-based testing:
There are two special circumstances for issuing PBT examinations as earlier mentioned and these are;
Despite these two reasons, the PMI has a right to cancel any paper-based testing event that has candidates less than ten. Under this requirement one has an advantage because it is less tedious in other words one is not required to schedule for an exam appointment unlike the CBT, though an individual receives the scheduling instructions. One receives an electronic confirmation which comes twenty days before the scheduled appointment and it usually has the following contents; the date of the examination, the location where the PMP exam is to be undertaken and other important information that relates directly to the examination.
Rescheduling and cancellation of the paper-based examination
Just like the CBT examination under certain circumstances one may be forced to either reschedule or cancel their PBT examination and as a result there are also certain rules to be adhered to. One must send an e-mail to the correct website concerned which is usually provided to the individual within thirty five days before the date of the actual exams. There is also some additional information that has to be provided in this case the name of the individual, their identification number as issued by PMI, their group identification and the location where the PBT examination is to take place. The good thing about this option is that no penalty is charged to the individual.
