    What the PMI-CP Credential Delivers for Your CareerBuilt for Construction Project Leaders

It is built for experienced construction professionals in Bern who want a globally recognised mark of construction project management expertise. The certification is based on the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline (ECO), which sets four domains: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%).

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

    The PMI-CP (PMI Construction Professional) certification path in Bern 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.

    The Construction PM Skills You Will BuildAcross All Four PMI-CP Domains

    Skills covered in the PMI-CP training map directly to the four exam domains, so you learn what construction projects and the exam both demand. By the end, you can manage contracts, engage stakeholders, control scope and govern delivery on complex projects.

    Manage Construction Contracts End to End

    Evaluate contract types and delivery methods, administer contracts and subcontracts, and manage payments and closeout. Contracts Management is the largest PMI-CP domain at 50% of the exam.

    Identify and process change orders, manage contract risk and insurance, and take claims through negotiation, mediation, adjudication and arbitration in line with contract notice requirements.

    Engage Stakeholders Across the Project

    Identify and analyse owners, authorities, communities and regulators, plan engagement, and manage communications throughout delivery. Stakeholder Engagement is 30% of the exam.

    Control Scope, Schedule and Budget

    Define the project execution plan, baseline scope and cost, apply critical path and earned value methods, and manage risk and quality across the construction life cycle.

    Establish Project Governance and Reporting

    Set up governance structures, performance reviews, document control and audits, and ensure regulatory and ethical compliance across the project and its supply chain.

    Prepare for the PMI-CP Exam with Confidence

    Practise against the 120-question, 230-minute closed-book format, complete the four mandatory prerequisite modules, and build a supported plan from study to a passed exam.

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

    The PMI-CP is the Project Management Institute's specialist credential for the construction industry. It validates your ability to deliver complex construction projects across contracts, stakeholders, scope and governance. It suits construction project managers, site managers moving into project management, and PMP holders working in construction.

    General

    What is the PMI-CP certification and who is it for?

    The PMI-CP is the Project Management Institute's specialist credential for the construction industry. It validates your ability to deliver complex construction projects across contracts, stakeholders, scope and governance. It suits construction project managers, site managers moving into project management, and PMP holders working in construction.

    Is the PMI-CP worth it for professionals in Bern?

    Yes. The PMI-CP is a globally recognised construction credential valued by rail, civil engineering, building and public-sector employers in Bern. Construction managers in Switzerland average around CHF 127,575 a year, and certified professionals stand out as federal rail and city infrastructure investment scales up. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your route.

    Is the PMP required before the PMI-CP?

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

    Is the PMI-CP recognised internationally?

    Yes. As a PMI credential, the PMI-CP carries global recognition through PMI's network in over 200 countries. It is valued in international construction markets where owners and contractors seek a globally recognised project management credential alongside local professional memberships.

    Which standard is the PMI-CP based on?

    The PMI-CP is based on the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline (ECO), which defines four domains: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%). It also draws on the current PMBOK Guide and construction-specific standards.

    How long is the PMI-CP certification valid?

    The PMI-CP is valid for three years from the date of certification. To maintain it, you earn 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 count toward renewal.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PMI-CP course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, instruction across all four domains, practice questions, mock exams, guidance on the four prerequisite modules and the PMI application, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours. Request a quote for the current inclusions and formats.

    How much does the PMI-CP exam cost?

    The PMI exam fee is billed separately by PMI and varies by region. For reference, it is around USD 520 for members and USD 670 for non-members, and PMI membership is roughly USD 139 a year. Confirm current fees on pmi.org before applying.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. The PMI-CP exam fee is paid to PMI separately from the training fee. Membership can reduce the exam cost and gives access to PMI resources. Ask a learning advisor how to plan for the full cost of getting certified.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing in Bern?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for construction teams, project offices and engineering groups. Contact us for a tailored quote for your team in Bern.

    What payment 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 first time?

    You have up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility window from application approval. Our training includes mock exams and practice questions aligned to the real format, plus trainer guidance, so you can identify weak areas and prepare thoroughly before you sit.

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

    The PMI-CP exam has 120 questions and lasts 230 minutes (3 hours 50 minutes). It is closed book and uses multiple-choice questions in single-answer and multiple-answer formats.

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

    There are four domains per the PMI-CP Examination Content Outline: Contracts Management (50%), Stakeholder Engagement (30%), Strategy and Scope Management (15%) and Project Governance (5%). Contracts Management is by far the largest, reflecting the centrality of contracts in construction.

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

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score that is not published as a fixed number. 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 in Bern?

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

    Course Content

    Do I need construction experience to attend the training?

    Anyone can attend the training to build knowledge. To sit the PMI-CP exam, PMI requires construction project management experience under one of three sets, plus 35 contact hours of project management education and completion of the four prerequisite modules.

    What topics does the PMI-CP training cover?

    The training covers the four PMI-CP domains: Contracts Management, Stakeholder Engagement, Strategy and Scope Management, and Project Governance. You learn contract administration, claims, stakeholder engagement, scope and cost control, risk, quality, governance and exam strategy.

    Are mock exams and practice questions included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams aligned to the 120-question, 230-minute closed-book format, plus topic-wise checks that help you find weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current PMI-CP outline?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current PMI-CP Examination Content Outline and its four domains, and reflects the current PMBOK Guide and construction-specific standards referenced by PMI.

    What are the four mandatory prerequisite modules?

    Before applying, you complete four self-paced modules in any order, each awarding 14 PDUs: Project Communications, Interface Management, Scope and Change Order Management, and Contract and Risk Management. Together they provide 56 PDUs that also count toward renewal.
