PMI ATP and our PMP® program

What does “PMI Authorized Training Partner” mean for me?

PMI has authorized ShriLearning to teach its official PMP® Exam Prep course. You study PMI’s own content with a PMI-authorized instructor, get your own PMI Student License Kit, and download your 35 contact hours certificate from the PMI portal. You can verify our status on Credly or in the PMI ATP directory (search “ShriLearning”).

How is the live online program scheduled?

12 live sessions over 6 weekends, on Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 to 10:00 pm IST: 48 hours in total. We update the training calendar every month with batches for the next three months.

Are the live classes recorded?

No. PMI’s ATP policy doesn’t allow recordings. If you miss a class, you can re-attend it in a later batch at no extra cost, once within 1 year of enrolling.

Can I move to a different batch if I can’t attend my dates?

Yes. Within 1 year of enrolling, you can join a later batch for the sessions you missed at no extra cost, once per session. After 1 year, a fee of ₹1,000 applies.

How do I get my 35 contact hours certificate?

Attend at least 35 of the 48 live hours, have your own PMI Student License Kit, and complete PMI’s post-training knowledge check. You then download the certificate from the PMI portal. Watch the 7-step guide.

Do I need any prior PMP® knowledge?

No. The program suits project managers, team leads, delivery, program and product managers, consultants, business analysts, and engineering, construction, operations and IT professionals moving into project leadership.

What do I need to attend the classes?

A laptop, a headset and a stable internet connection. A webcam is recommended for group activities.

Fees, payments and offers

How much does the PMP® training cost?

The training fee is ₹11,109 for Standard or ₹13,709 for Premium, plus 18% GST. With the PMI Student Kit and GST, the India total is ₹17,699 for Standard and ₹20,767 for Premium. Premium adds the Premium Mock Package (worth ₹7,500), PMI audit support, one-to-one mentoring in your final week and a money-back policy. Compare the plans.

What is the PMI Student Kit, and why is it a separate fee?

Under a PMI mandate dated 13 October 2026, every student who trains with an ATP must have their own PMI Student License Kit. PMI sets its price by country zone (A, B or C): in India it’s ₹3,890 + GST, and our checkout adds the right amount elsewhere. This fee goes to PMI, not to ShriLearning.

Please book from the country you live in. PMI checks location by IP address, and a kit bought for another zone won’t be added to your PMI account. Watch the kit policy explained.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Debit or credit card, UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm) and bank transfer. Companies can also pay by purchase order. We don’t accept cheques.

Do you offer group discounts?

Yes. Each person gets ₹1,000 off in a group of 2–3, ₹2,000 off in a group of 4–7, and ₹3,000 off in a group of 8 or more.

Do you have a referral bonus?

Yes. For every person you refer who enrolls, they get ₹1,000 off and you get a ₹1,000 Amazon gift voucher. Vouchers are issued after the referred person enrolls.

What is your refund policy?

Premium plan: you get 100% of your training fee back if you take the exam within 60 days of your last class, with Shri’s go-ahead, and don’t pass.

Other refund requests: course materials are shared digitally as soon as you enroll, so refunds are decided case by case by our management and never exceed 50% of the training fee. Since you can switch to a later batch within a year, most scheduling problems can be solved without a refund.

PMP® application and exam

Am I eligible for the PMP® exam?

You need 35 contact hours of project management training (this course) plus one of these:

  • A bachelor’s degree and 36 months of project leadership experience
  • A bachelor’s from a PMI GAC-accredited program and 24 months
  • An associate degree and 48 months
  • A high school diploma and 60 months

Active CAPM® holders don’t need the 35 contact hours.

When should I submit my PMP® application, and what does it cost?

The application is free. Submit it once you have your 35 contact hours certificate, which you get after the course. If you already have a certificate from another provider, you can apply any time. We review your application before you submit it, and PMI usually reviews it within 5 working days.

What happens if my application is selected for audit?

Audits are random, so don’t worry. PMI asks for a copy of your degree, a copy of your training certificate, and a reference for each project who can confirm your experience. PMI emails each reference, and once they sign off, the audit is complete. You have up to 90 days. The Premium plan includes our audit support.

How much is the PMP® exam fee, and when do I pay it?

For exams taken in India, PMI’s standard fee for the exam plus 1-year PMI membership is ₹46,004. With our voucher it’s ₹37,850, a saving of ₹8,154. The discount is lower outside India, and PMI sets these prices and may change them.

Once PMI approves your application, you have one year to pay and take the exam. You can book any available date within that year.

Should I buy PMI membership?

Yes, if you’re taking the exam. Members pay a lower exam fee, so buying membership with the exam usually costs less than the non-member exam fee alone, and you get PMI’s member resources too. Our voucher already includes 1-year membership.

Can I see exam slots before paying?

Yes. On Pearson VUE’s PMI page, use Seat Availability to see slots, or Find a Test Center to see centers near you.

Should I take the exam at a test center or online?

The fee is the same. Online proctored exams have more slots and suit you if there’s no center nearby, but you need a quiet room, stable power and internet (not a mobile hotspot) and a webcam. A test center avoids those risks if one is close to you.

Either way, bring a government-issued photo ID, such as a passport, driving licence or PAN card, with your name exactly as it appears on your PMP® application.

My online proctored exam was cancelled. What should I do?

Contact Pearson VUE customer care by phone or chat. They’ll open a case and give you a case ID. Email that ID with a short description of what happened to pvapcustomerservice@pearson.com. The option to reschedule usually appears in your PMI dashboard within 24 hours.

Common causes are internet or power drops, using a mobile hotspot, talking or moving your lips, or interruptions in the room. Sometimes it’s a technical problem on their side, such as a blank screen or a proctor who doesn’t join.

I saw “Congratulations” after the exam. How do I get my result?

That message means you passed. To download your score report, sign in to your Pearson VUE account for PMI and open View Score Reports from your dashboard.

Preparation and support

I’ve just enrolled. What should I do first?

Follow the instructions in your course access email and get familiar with your PMI Student Kit materials. During the course, revise each topic after class and attempt the chapter-wise questions. Once you’ve covered the full syllabus, move on to full mock exams.

How do I know I’m ready for the exam?

Take at least 5 full mock exams and score above 70% in at least two. Review each mock before taking the next, and share every score with Shri. He’ll give you the go-ahead when you’re ready.

How do I get my doubts cleared after the training?

We run a doubt-clearing session every Sunday for students from all batches. Our support team also answers questions by email or phone, and gets technical doubts resolved by the instructor. You can also reach Shri on WhatsApp; please message first to check his availability before calling.

Which WhatsApp groups should I join?
  • Your batch group (essential): the link is on your Communication Board
  • Daily questions group (recommended) for daily practice
  • PMP and Agile groups for updates and discussion
  • Exam month group for the month you plan to take the exam, so Shri can guide you
  • Elite group for certified PMPs: PDUs and job opportunities
How long can I use the exam simulator?

It depends on your package: 30 days for Basic, 60 days for Standard and 90 days for Premium, which is included free with the Premium plan. Access to your PMI Student Kit follows PMI’s license terms.

Do you help with jobs and interviews?

Yes. Every PMP® enrollment includes 12 months of the ShriLearning AI Career & Interview Coach: resume scoring, skill-gap analysis, spoken mock interviews and job matching. Certified learners can also join our Elite WhatsApp group for job leads, and everyone can join our LinkedIn group and our quarterly career counselling session.

After you pass

How do I renew my PMP® certification?

Earn 60 professional development units (PDUs) every 3 years, then pay PMI’s renewal fee (lower for PMI members). PDUs come from two categories:

  • Education: at least 35 and up to all 60 PDUs. One hour of learning counts as one PDU.
  • Giving back: up to 25 PDUs, of which up to 8 can come from working as a project management practitioner.

We guide every learner through PDUs and renewal.

Where can I earn PDUs?

For Education PDUs, use PMP-relevant courses, webinars and books; free webinars on ProjectManagement.com are a good start. For Giving Back PDUs, present at events, create content, mentor colleagues or volunteer for PMI.

Corporate training

Can you run a private batch for our employees?

Yes, live online or at your office. We start with a call between our instructor and your team to understand your needs, then schedule on your preferred dates. If you need new content built specially for you, we quote that separately. See corporate training options.

How many participants do we need for a private batch?

We recommend at least 8 for the best price per person and up to 15 per class to keep it interactive. Smaller batches are possible at a higher per-person cost, and we’ve run larger batches on request.

Can in-house training run live online?

Yes, and it’s the most popular choice for companies with teams in several locations, because everyone can join at the same time without travel. As with all PMI ATP classes, sessions aren’t recorded.

How do we track our employees’ progress?

We share attendance records for every session and mock-exam progress reports for your group, so you can see who is ready to book the exam.
