A PMCert credential is earned in a certification exam and checked in seconds.
What each certification attests, how it is earned and how to verify one or many credentials, with no account and no need to contact PMCert.
How to verify
Ask the candidate for the credential code, which is on the certificate and on their public profile. For one code, use the verifier. For several, paste them all below.
How it is earned
- An individual, closed-book certification exam, which includes AI assistants, taken online with the time kept by the server.
- Each certification exam is drawn from a bank larger than the exam, in a different combination every time it is opened.
- The platform records objective signals during the certification exam, and every exam with signals is reviewed by a person before any decision.
- A revoked credential can still be looked up and shows as revoked in the verifier.
- The credential does not expire and has no annual fee.
