    Benefits of Having a PMI-SP®

    Specialist Recognition

    PMI-SP sets you apart as a scheduling specialist rather than a generalist project manager. That distinction is valued on large infrastructure, construction and engineering projects.

    Stronger Career Prospects

    It opens doors to planning engineer, scheduler and project controls roles, both locally and with international firms.

    Practical Tool Skills

    The Primavera P6 sessions mean you leave able to build and manage real schedules, not only answer exam questions.

    Global Professional Network

    You join PMI's worldwide community of certified scheduling professionals.
