US Membership Price Increase email

Hello fellow community members and Happy New Year! I want to thank you for expressing your concern in regard to the “US Membership Price Increase” email sent from PMI on 27 December 2022. We shared your key questions/sentiments with internal stakeholders who were able to provide answers, listed below:

Does this price increase apply for Canada?
No, the price increase for Individual Membership and the non-member PMP exam fee is only for those professionals located in the United States. It will not impact professionals located in Canada.

What is the fair pricing initiative and what does PMI mean by “economic equality” or “fair and equitable pricing” in this context?
It means that our prices will differ based on location moving forward. Like many global organizations, PMI proactively assesses barriers to entry for our community members around the world using global economic data provided by World Bank. The fair pricing initiative is PMI’s first step in a long-term plan to provide more equitable opportunities for professionals to learn project management skills.

What do we need to know about the fair pricing initiative?
We shared news of the fair pricing initiative with our U.S. members to be transparent. While prices for Individual Membership and the non-member PMP exam fee have increased in the U.S., it is likely that U.S. members or PMP candidates may see or hear about other professionals receiving lower prices. We recognize how connected our community is, and wanted to be upfront about this.

Who do I contact for specific questions?
For specific questions, please contact Customer Care, as questions cannot be answered within this thread.

Thank you again for being such dedicated and engaging members of PMI’s community!
