Once you pass, you join the global community of 1.2 million+ PMP-certified professionals.

    Step 1: Eligibility Check

    Confirm you meet one of PMI's two pathways: a four-year degree with 36 months of project leadership experience, or a secondary degree with 60 months of experience. Both pathways require 35 hours of project management education.

    Step 2: Enroll

    Select the learning format that best suits your schedule and goals, including online, instructor-led, and corporate PMP training for teams. Once enrolled, you gain access to courseware, schedules, and a structured study plan to earn the required 35 contact hours.

    Step 4: Document Experience and Apply to PMI

    Document your project leadership experience (36 or 60 months, depending on pathway) and submit your PMP application to PMI. Our team supports you with the application process and experience documentation.

    Step 5: Preparation

    Use 1,500+ practice questions, 5 full-length PMP mock exams, 1 Agile model exam, flashcards, and the exam simulator to strengthen weak areas and build speed for the 180-question exam.

It is designed for experienced project managers, team leads and delivery professionals ready for a globally recognised credential.

    General

    What is the PMP certification and who is it for?

    The PMP (Project Management Professional) is PMI's flagship credential and the global gold standard for project managers, validating your ability to lead teams using predictive, agile and hybrid approaches. It is designed for experienced project managers, team leads and delivery professionals ready for a globally recognised credential.

    Is the PMP worth it for professionals in Basel?

    Yes. The PMP is highly valued by Basel's pharmaceutical, life sciences, banking and engineering employers, and PMP-certified project managers in Switzerland average around CHF 129,000. It opens senior delivery roles and signals proven capability to hiring managers.

    Which standard and edition is the PMP based on?

    The PMP is based on PMI's PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and the current PMP Examination Content Outline (ECO). The ECO organises the exam into five performance domains covering fundamentals, predictive methods, agile frameworks, business analysis, and stakeholder engagement.

    What are the prerequisites for the PMP?

    There are two paths. With a four-year degree you need 36 months leading projects plus 35 contact hours of project management education. With a secondary diploma you need 60 months leading projects plus the same 35 contact hours, which this training provides.

    How long is the PMP valid and how do I renew it?

    The PMP is valid for three years. To keep it active you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle within each three-year cycle, with a minimum of 8 PDUs in each area, reported through PMI's CCR system.

    Pricing

    What does PMP training in Basel cost and what is included?

    Training fees vary by format and are available on request. Your enrolment typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, 35 contact hours and application guidance. Request a quote to see options for your preferred schedule.

    Is the PMP exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, so it is not part of the training fee. PMI membership reduces the exam price and gives free access to the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition.

    How much does the PMP exam cost?

    For reference, the PMI exam fee is around USD 405 for members and USD 555 for non-members, though prices vary by region. Confirm current fees at pmi.org before applying, as PMI periodically updates its pricing.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, delivery teams and departments across the Basel region. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    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

    How many questions are on the PMP exam and how long is it?

    The PMP exam has 180 questions and lasts 230 minutes (3 hours 50 minutes), including two 10-minute scheduled breaks. It uses a mix of question types, including multiple choice, matching, hotspot and limited fill-in-the-blank.

    What domains does the PMP exam cover?

    The current exam, aligned to the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition ECO, covers five domains: Project Management Fundamentals (15%), Predictive Methodologies (28%), Agile Frameworks (27%), Business Analysis and Strategic Management (18%), and Stakeholder Engagement and Communication (12%).

    What is the passing score for the PMP exam?

    PMI does not publish a fixed percentage pass mark. Results are determined through psychometric analysis and reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback, so focus on broad mastery across all five domains.

    Where and how do I take the PMP exam?

    You can sit the exam online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test centre. Scheduling is done via PMI's portal or the Pearson VUE website once your application is approved.

    What happens if I do not pass the first time?

    PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period, with re-examination fees for the second and third attempts. Our practice questions, mock exams and trainer support are designed to help you prepare thoroughly the first time.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the PMP training?

    You will learn to plan and govern projects across the five PMBOK Guide 8th Edition domains, covering fundamentals, predictive planning, agile and hybrid delivery, business analysis, and stakeholder engagement, alongside structured exam preparation.

    Do I need prior experience, or can a beginner take it?

    Anyone can attend the training to build skills and earn the 35 contact hours. To sit the PMP exam, however, PMI requires project leadership experience, so the credential itself suits professionals who already lead projects.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest PMP exam?

    Yes. The courseware is built around the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and the current PMP Examination Content Outline, so you study the exact framework and domains the exam tests.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes mapped to the ECO, helping you identify weak areas and build readiness for the 180-question exam.

    How many contact hours does the training provide?

    The training provides 35 contact hours of project management education, which satisfies a core PMP eligibility requirement. You receive a certificate documenting these hours for your PMI application.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the PMP course in Basel?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing a batch.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer live online (virtual) instructor-led training, classroom sessions and customised corporate group training, so you can pick the format that fits your schedule and learning style.
