    What Is the PMI Construction Professional Certification?A Specialist Credential for Construction Delivery

    The PMI Construction Professional (PMI-CP) is the Project Management Institute's specialist certification for the construction industry, validating your ability to deliver complex construction projects on time, on budget and to the required quality standard. It is built around the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline (ECO) and aligned to the current PMBOK Guide, and it is respected by employers across Basel's demanding project market. For professionals in Basel, where pharma and life sciences capital projects, dense urban infrastructure and cross-border delivery define the market, the credential proves you can manage construction contracts, stakeholders and governance at the level owners expect. It suits construction project managers, site and project engineers, owner's representatives and consultants working across the trinational region. The exam is assessed across four domains: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%). With instructor-led preparation from Invensis Learning, you gain the structured path, practice and application support to move from study to a globally recognised PMI credential.

    How to Get PMI-CP Certified in BaselStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The PMI-CP (PMI Construction Professional) certification path in Basel is a structured single-exam track. You must complete the four-module training, document 3 years of construction or built-environment project experience earned within the past 10 years, then pass the 120-question, 230-minute PMI-CP exam delivered by PMI through Pearson VUE. From initial training to earning the PMI-CP designation typically takes 1-3 months.

    Step 1: Confirm You Meet the PMI-CP Eligibility Requirements

    Confirm you can document 3 years of on-the-job experience in construction projects or built-environment projects (infrastructure, real estate, utilities, etc.). The experience must have been earned within the past 10 years. There is no foundational PMI credential prerequisite for PMI-CP.

    Step 2: Enroll in a Learning Program

    Choose a learning format that aligns with your schedule and goals, such as a PMI-CP bootcamp, live virtual training, self-paced learning, or corporate group training. Enrollment provides access to PMI-aligned learning resources, study materials, and expert guidance.

    Step 3: Submit Your PMI-CP Application via the PMI Candidate Portal

    Create or sign in to your PMI account at pmi.org, complete the PMI-CP application, and document your training (32 contact hours) plus 3 years of construction project experience earned within the past 10 years. PMI membership (~$139/year) is optional but reduces the exam fee.

    Step 4: Receive Application Approval and Register for the Exam

    PMI reviews your application within ~5 business days. On approval, you receive eligibility to register for the PMI-CP exam through Pearson VUE. Your eligibility window opens for 1 year, during which you can attempt the exam up to 3 times.

    Step 5: Sit the 120-Question, 230-Minute PMI-CP Exam

    Book a Pearson VUE slot , online proctored from home or office in Switzerland or at a Pearson VUE test centre. The exam includes 120 multiple-choice and scenario questions across the four PMI-CP domains, delivered over 230 minutes. You receive your preliminary result at the end of the session.

    Step 6: Earn the PMI-CP Designation and Plan CCR Renewal

    After passing the exam, PMI issues your PMI-CP digital badge and certificate. The designation is valid for three years and is renewable via PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) programme by earning PDUs in construction and built-environment-relevant content across the 3-year cycle.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    The PMI-CP is PMI's specialist certification for the construction industry, validating your ability to deliver complex construction projects. It is examined across four domains from the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%).

    General

    What is the PMI Construction Professional (PMI-CP) certification?

    The PMI-CP is PMI's specialist certification for the construction industry, validating your ability to deliver complex construction projects. It is examined across four domains from the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%).

    Who should take the PMI-CP certification?

    The PMI-CP suits construction project managers, site and project engineers moving into project management, owner's representatives, programme managers and construction consultants. It is aimed at experienced practitioners who manage scope, schedule, budget, quality and stakeholders on construction projects.

    Is the PMI-CP worth it for construction professionals in Basel?

    Yes. Basel's pharma, infrastructure and building sectors run large, contract-heavy projects where certified construction leaders are in demand. Construction project roles in the region average around CHF 118K, with contracts and director bands reaching considerably higher.

    Is PMP required before taking the PMI-CP?

    No. PMP certification is not a prerequisite for the PMI-CP. You can apply based on your construction project management experience and education. The two credentials are complementary, with PMP validating broad project management and the PMI-CP validating construction-specific expertise.

    How long is the PMI-CP valid and how is it renewed?

    The PMI-CP is valid for three years. You maintain it by earning 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle within each three-year cycle, with a minimum of 8 PDUs in each area. The 56 PDUs from the four prerequisite modules can be applied toward renewal.

    Is the PMI-CP recognised internationally?

    Yes. As a PMI credential, the PMI-CP is recognised through PMI's network across more than 200 countries. It is especially valued on international and cross-border construction projects, such as the trinational work common in the Basel region.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PMI-CP training fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions and mock exams, guidance on the four prerequisite modules, application support, learner support and a course completion certificate with contact hours. Speak with a learning advisor for a detailed quote.

    How much does the PMI-CP exam cost?

    For reference, the PMI-CP exam is around USD 520 for PMI members and USD 670 for non-members. Fees vary by region and PMI updates pricing periodically, so verify the current amount at pmi.org before applying. PMI membership can reduce the exam cost.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. The PMI exam fee is billed separately by PMI in USD under regional pricing and is not part of the training fee. You pay and schedule the exam through PMI and Pearson VUE once your application is approved.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts for PMI-CP training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for construction teams, PMOs and contractor or consultancy groups. Contact us for a tailored group quote for your team in Basel.

    What payment methods and instalment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What if I do not pass the PMI-CP exam the first time?

    You are permitted up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility period from application approval. Our preparation, practice questions and mock exams are designed to build readiness across all four domains so you can sit the exam with confidence.

    How long is the PMI-CP exam and how many questions are there?

    The exam has 120 questions and a duration of 230 minutes (3 hours 50 minutes). It is closed book, with single-answer and multiple-answer multiple-choice questions delivered by Pearson VUE.

    What are the PMI-CP exam domains and their weights?

    The exam covers four domains from the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%). Contracts Management is the largest, reflecting its central role in construction delivery.

    What is the passing score for the PMI-CP exam?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score rather than a fixed percentage. Results are reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback of Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement, so aim for broad mastery across all four domains.

    Where can I take the PMI-CP exam?

    You can take the exam online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctored system or at a Pearson VUE test centre. Scheduling is done through PMI's portal or the Pearson VUE website within your one-year eligibility window.

    What standard is the PMI-CP exam based on?

    The exam is based on the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline (ECO) and aligned to the current PMBOK Guide and construction industry practices. Our courseware follows the ECO so your preparation matches what PMI assesses.

    Course Content

    Can a beginner take the PMI-CP training?

    Anyone can enrol in the training to build knowledge. To sit the exam, PMI requires construction project management experience plus 35 contact hours of education and the four prerequisite modules, so the credential is aimed at experienced construction practitioners.

    What topics does the PMI-CP training cover?

    The training covers the four ECO domains: Contracts Management, Stakeholder Engagement, Strategy and Scope Management, and Project Governance. This spans contract types, administration, claims, stakeholder and communications planning, scope, schedule, cost, risk, quality and governance.

    Does this training meet the PMI-CP education prerequisite?

    The instructor-led programme provides 32 contact hours, which is close to but below the 35 contact hours PMI requires. Check with our team about supplementary self-study or pre-reading that can be credited toward the 35-hour requirement.

    What are the four mandatory prerequisite modules?

    Before applying, you must complete four self-paced modules in any order: Project Communications, Interface Management, Scope & Change Order Management, and Contract & Risk Management. Each awards 14 PDUs, for 56 PDUs in total, which also count toward renewal.

    What learning materials are provided with the training?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions and mock exams aligned to the 120-question format, references to the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline and Handbook, and downloadable resources to support revision across all four domains.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website, choose your preferred format, and gain access to schedules, courseware and resources. Live virtual and classroom batches run regularly. See upcoming schedules or talk to a learning advisor to get started.

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PMI-CP exam?

    You must complete the four prerequisite modules plus one of three sets: a secondary diploma with 60 months of construction PM experience, a bachelor's degree with 36 months, or a GAC-accredited degree with 24 months. All sets need 35 contact hours of PM education.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer live virtual instructor-led training, classroom training and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and team. Online delivery is fully interactive with real-time trainer engagement.

    Can I reschedule or transfer to another batch?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans let you attend the training twice. Contact our support team to arrange this.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled per our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back guarantee. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
