    How to Get PfMP Certified in IcelandStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The PfMP certification path in Iceland is the most senior on the PMI credential ladder. It centres on PMI's peer-panel review of your portfolio management experience, followed by a 170-question, 240-minute scenario-based exam administered through Pearson VUE. From initial application to exam day typically takes 3-6 months, including the panel-review evaluation window.

    Step 1: Confirm PfMP Eligibility

    Verify you meet one of the three eligibility sets (Set A / Set B / Set C) , secondary diploma OR bachelor's degree OR GAC-accredited bachelor's, plus 96 months of professional business experience plus 84/48/36 months of portfolio management experience within the past 15 years.

    Step 2: Enrol in PfMP Training

    Choose your preferred Invensis Learning PfMP cohort (3-Day Live Online Bootcamp, E-Learning, or Corporate Group Training). On enrolment you receive PMI-aligned PfMP courseware, panel-submission templates, and scenario mock-exam material.

    Step 3: Document Portfolio Management Experience for Panel Review

    Compile your portfolio management experience submission to PMI's evaluation standard: roles held, portfolios led, governance forums chaired, value realised. Invensis Learning's submission templates and reviewer feedback help you avoid the common rejection patterns PMI flags.

    Step 4: Submit the PfMP Application to PMI

    Submit your application via the PMI candidate portal. PMI performs an initial review, then forwards the experience submission to the peer panel for evaluation. The panel-review window typically runs 60-90 days. Pay the PfMP application/exam fee: ~$800 (PMI member) or ~$1,000 (non-member).

    Step 5: Prepare for the Examination

    Strengthen your readiness through structured PfMP exam prep training, mock examinations, scenario-based exercises, portfolio governance case studies, and focused revision plans. This preparation helps build confidence for the examination and reinforces key portfolio management concepts.

    Step 6: Earn the PfMP Credential and Plan CCR Renewal

    On passing, PMI issues your PfMP digital badge and certificate. The credential is valid for three years; renew via PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) programme by earning 60 PDUs across the 3-year cycle in portfolio-relevant content.

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

    PfMP is PMI's most senior portfolio management credential for professionals who align portfolios of programmes and projects to organisational strategy. It is designed for portfolio managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery and senior practitioners with substantial portfolio management experience.

    General

    What is the PfMP certification and who is it for?

    PfMP is PMI's most senior portfolio management credential for professionals who align portfolios of programmes and projects to organisational strategy. It is designed for portfolio managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery and senior practitioners with substantial portfolio management experience.

    Is the PfMP worth it for professionals in Iceland?

    Yes. Portfolio manager salaries in Iceland average around kr 12.7M a year, with Head of PMO and PMO Director roles reaching higher. As Digital Iceland and green data centres expand strategy-critical portfolios, certified portfolio leaders are increasingly in demand across energy, banking and technology.

    Is the PfMP recognised in Iceland?

    Yes. PfMP is a globally recognised PMI credential valued by employers across Iceland and worldwide, including energy utilities, banks, technology firms and public bodies that run large, strategy-critical portfolios.

    Do I need PMP or PgMP before taking the PfMP?

    No. Neither PMP nor PgMP is a prerequisite for PfMP. Eligibility is based on general business experience and portfolio management experience rather than prior PMI certifications, though many senior portfolio managers hold one or both.

    How long is the PfMP valid and how is it renewed?

    PfMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle, with a minimum of 8 PDUs in each area, within each three-year continuing certification requirements cycle.

    Pricing

    How much does PfMP training cost in Iceland?

    PfMP training fees in Iceland vary by format and are available on request. Live online and corporate options are quoted per learner or per team, and the PMI exam fee is billed separately. Request a quote from a learning advisor for current pricing.

    What is included in the PfMP course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, exam simulator access, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours.

    Is the PMI exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the PfMP exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, for reference around USD 800 for members and USD 1,000 for non-members. PMI membership is about USD 139 per year and lowers both the exam and renewal costs; confirm current fees on pmi.org.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts for PfMP training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, business units and leadership teams across Iceland. Contact us for a tailored quote.

    What payment methods 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 is the format of the PfMP exam?

    The PfMP exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination based on the PfMP Examination Content Outline and the Standard for Portfolio Management, Fourth Edition. Questions are distributed across the five portfolio management performance domains.

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

    The PfMP exam has 170 questions and a four-hour allotted time. It uses single-answer and multiple-answer multiple-choice formats delivered online or at a test centre.

    What is the passing score for the PfMP exam?

    PMI does not publish a fixed pass mark. The result is determined through psychometric analysis, and performance is reported by domain as Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement, so aim for broad mastery across all five domains.

    How do I schedule and take the PfMP exam?

    After your application is approved and you clear the panel review, schedule the exam through Pearson VUE, either via OnVUE online proctoring or at a test centre. You have a one-year eligibility period and up to three attempts within it.

    What is the PfMP panel review?

    The panel review is a multi-rater assessment unique to the PfMP. A panel of portfolio management practitioners evaluates your documented portfolio experience and competency. It is mandatory alongside the written exam, and both must be passed to earn the credential.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the PfMP training?

    The training covers the five PfMP performance domains: Strategic Alignment (25%), Governance (20%), Portfolio Performance (25%), Portfolio Risk Management (14%) and Communications Management (16%), plus the application, panel review and exam strategy.

    What learning resources and materials are provided?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the PfMP Examination Content Outline and Handbook, an overview of the Standard for Portfolio Management, Fourth Edition, templates, flashcards and chapter-wise quizzes.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator and topic-wise quizzes to help you identify weak areas and build exam readiness across all five domains.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest PfMP syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to PMI's Standard for Portfolio Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PfMP Examination Content Outline, so you study against the standard the exam is built on.

    Will I receive a certificate of completion after the training?

    Yes. After meeting the course requirements you receive a course completion certificate along with the contact hours earned through the programme, which also count as PDUs.

    Enrollment

    PMI sets three requirement sets. Set A: secondary diploma plus 120 months of business experience and 84 months of portfolio management experience. Set B: a four-year degree plus 120 months business and 48 months portfolio experience. Set C: a GAC-accredited degree plus 120 and 36 months. All must fall within the past 15 years, and a panel review applies.
