Important: When should you Renew your PMP® Certification?

This is one question that is asked to us by almost all PMI-RMP® Certified professionals looking to Renew PMI-RMP® Certificate.

 

Ok – so, during the 3 year period after you have done PMI-RMP® Certification, you can acquire 30 PDUs and Renew PMI-RMP® Certificate anytime.

 

It is recommended that you start acquiring PDUs early in the 3 years cycle & submit 30 PDUs claim much before your PMI-RMP® Certificate Expiry date to avoid last minute hassle.

 

Also – you must know that even if you Renew your PMI-RMP® Certification before expiry date – your new PMP® Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Cycle will start only after current expiry date and will be valid for next three years from your current certification expiration date.

 

For example: Your PMI-RMP® Certification Renewal Date is 2 May 2023 and you have decided to Renew it on 11^th Jan 2023.

Upon successful renewal,  Your PMI-RMP® Certification renewal date will be 2 May 2026 (three years from the original renewal date).

 

What is the Best Time to Renew my PMI-RMP® Certification?

 

To know this you need to recall when you were submitting your PMI-RMP® exam fees to PMI®.

You submitted your PMI-RMP® exam Fees to schedule your exam. You also added PMI® membership for 1 year while submitting your PMP® exam.

Reason was simple…

PMI® offers discount on PMI-RMP® exam for PMI® members.

• PMI-RMP® Exam Fees for Non- Members is USD 670
• PMI-RMP® Exam Fees for Members is USD 520
• PMI® Membership Fees is USD 139
•  

Simply put, when you became a member your total was USD 520 + USD 139 i.e. $659

So, it is always beneficial to take membership while submitting your PMI-RMP® exam fees.

 

Now, the other important benefit PMI® membership offers is discount on your PMI-RMP® Renewal.

PMI-RMP® Renewal Fees for Non-Member is USD 150

PMI-RMP® Renewal Fees for Member is USD 60

 

Most of you always go for the PMI-RMP® renewal in the third year and till then your PMI-RMP® membership is expired. So you again have to take the PMI-RMP® membership in order to get the discounted price.

 

To understand this let’s consider below two scenarios:

 

Scenario 1:  When you renews the PMI-RMP® certification in 3^rd Year  

You total cost will include:

1. Cost of 30 PDUs Program
2. PMI® Renewal Fees which is $150 (because your membership is already expired)

 

So you take the membership again for 1 year which costs $139

Now, your PMI® renewal fee after membership becomes $60

 

Your Total Cost Becomes:

Cost of your 30 PDUs + $139 + $60

 

Scenario 2:  When you renews the PMI-RMP® certification in 1^st Year

You total cost will include:

Cost of 30 PDUs from PMI® Authorized Training Partner

PMI® Renewal Fees which is $60 (because your membership is still active)

 

Your Total Cost Becomes:

Cost of your 30 PDUs + $60

 

You actually end up saving $139 in your PMI-RMP® Renewal when you renew it in the first year.

 

If you cleared your PMI-RMP® exam on June 28, 2021 - Your certification will expire on June 28, 2023

If you take advantage by renewing it in the first year let’s say Dec, 10, 2021 - Your certification will expire on June 28, 2026

 

It means you save good amount of money and you do not need to worry about your certificate for next 6 years. So it is wise to renew your PMI-RMP® certification in the very first year and save money until and unless you have no plans of renewing your PMI-RMP® certification in future which is very rare because it took a lot of hard work and money to earn it. Nobody will like to just let it expire.
