We’re moving to Pearson VUE to provide a better overall exam experience. All certification examinations worldwide (except China) will be run through Pearson VUE to provide:

Additional test locations: With more testing locations available, choosing a convenient test site is easier than ever. (Fine a Pearson VUE testing location here.)
Online proctoring for PMI-ACP® and CAPM®: Candidates can now test from their home or office for increased convenience and ease-of-access. No other certifications are scheduled for online proctoring at this time.
Versatility to U.S. Service Members: Pearson VUE offers a global U.S. Federal and military on-base test center network in the marketplace, allowing US Service and government members to test where serve around the world.

What do you need to do?

You can continue directing candidates through the existing application process with no changes. Candidates will be guided to one of the test vendors based on the timeframe they plan to test. If you provide details around the scheduling or testing process at Prometric in your materials then you will need to update them.

Transition Timeline

There will be a period of overlap where scheduling and testing will be available with both Prometric and Pearson VUE. Most candidates who have already scheduled their exams will be unaffected by this change.

Important Dates
1 March 2019	PMI-ACP scheduling available at Pearson VUE
1 April 2019	PMI-ACP testing begins at Pearson VUE centers and online proctoring
1 April 2019	Scheduling available at Pearson VUE for PMP®, PgMP®, PfMP®, PMI-PBA®, PMI-SP® and PMI-RMP® exams
30 June 2019	Last date for testing at Prometric centers
1 July 2019	Testing begins at Pearson VUE centers for PMP, PgMP, PfMP, PMI-PBA, PMI-SP and PMI-RMP exams

Next Steps for Candidates Who Already Scheduled through Prometric

If a customer already has a test appointment scheduled with Prometric on or before 30 June 2019 then he or she can keep that appointment and test as planned, regardless of the certification exam. If a customer already has a test appointment scheduled with Prometric on or after 1 July 2019 then we will work with Prometric and Pearson VUE to have that appointment moved to a Pearson VUE location.

Next Steps for Paper-based Testing (PBT)

We will work with Pearson VUE to transition any candidates that are scheduled for a PBT exam on or after 1 July 2019 to Pearson VUE test center location.
