  PDUs serve as measuring units to quantify professional service activities and approved learning.

• Do Contact Hours have an expiry date?

  No. The contact hours earned will not be mandated with expiry timeline by PMI® to qualify for the PMP® Exam, as long as the certificate (proof) is retained. There is no expiry date or deadline,
  though the contact hours must have been acquired before the submission of the application to PMI®. For example, if you earn the Contact Hours in 2013, there's nothing stopping you from taking the exam in 2017.

• If I fail the PMP® Exam, how soon can I retake it?

  Candidates will be given a one-year eligibility period to clear the exam. You are allowed to take the exam three times during the eligibility period. Within this one-year period, if you fail the exam three times, you must wait one year from the date of the last examination you took to reapply for the certification. However, after failing the exam thrice, you can opt to apply for other certifications accredited by PMI. 

• How do I apply for PMP® re-examination in Bangalore?

  The candidates will be given 3 chances to clear the PMP® exam in a year. During the next two attempts of the exam, the candidates should make an additional payment of $275 (for members) or $375 (non-members) as re-examination fee. Candidates will have to wait for 1 year before retaking the exam in instances where they don’t pass in first three attempts.

• If I fail in the PMP® Exam, can I apply for reevaluation?

  Yes, you can apply for re-evaluation. You can raise a written request to the PMI® Certification Department for analyzing their judgment. You can also email your request to certappeals@pmi.org or forward using postal mail to PMI®.

• How do I document the experience?

  You can document your experience using the experience verification section from the online application and record your experience in directing and leading the project. Record projects individually irrespective of the number of projects included.
   

• What does 36 months of non-overlapping experience requirement mean for the PMP® Exam?  

  According to PMIs calculation, the concept of non-overlapping experience refers to the following:
  
  If a professional is working on multiple projects at the same time, then the experience will be counted for one project over that stipulated period for which he/she worked on the project.
  
  Example: Mr. A has managed 2 projects in 2016, Project 1 ran from Jan'16 to Aug'16 (8 months) and Project 2 ran from April'16 to Dec'16 (9 months). In this case, we have an overlap of 5 months (Apr'16 to Aug'16). So the experience for these 5 months will be counted as 5 months and not as 10 months (5x2=10). The non-overlapping experience is 12 months.
