I recently noticed that PMI has introduced the Cognitive Project Management for AI (CPMAI) certification, which sounds like an exciting opportunity for learning and growth. However, I've observed that the certification fees are significantly higher than those of most other PMI certifications. Could anyone share insights on why the market positioning of this certification is so different? Saving Changes...
My guess is that they have kept the same pricing model as Cognilytica had prior to the acquisition by PMI. Here's the pricing on Cognilytica's page: https://courses.cognilytica.com/cpmai

Kiron, Danny --
Yes, that's correct. We have had our legacy pricing in place... until today! That's right, effective Nov. 1, 2024, we've aligned our pricing to the PMI community and now you should find the pricing more in line with expectations. Thrilled to be part of PMI!

Ronald Schmelzer , I saw that Cognilytica's website states that once certified in CPMAI for a specific version, that certification never expires. Will this remain the same after PMI takes over?

Gents, so the $1,395 is the new pricing for earning the CPMAI+E which included a live course? Is my understanding correct?
Ronald Schmelzer: Are you planning to do an online self-paced course for those credentials (sorry if there is one already and I missed that) as this was the case with DA as well after PMI acquires them. Thanks!

Hello Rami Kaibni -- Yes, for the CPMAI v7 price you get the self-paced, online course (27-36 hours depending on level) and the certification exam included. Not live training, but self-paced with exercises and workbook as well. Check the full details at https://courses.cognilytica.com. Will be moved to PMI LMS and systems soon!

To all in this thread. I am enrolled in the current CMPAI course. First, for anyone who is working with AI and needs a foundation this course is a must. Second, for the current course, when you add up any other PMI training for a certification plus the test, CMPAI is actually a deal for the current online course. I highly recommend it.
Rami Kaibni , I'm not sure whether there is any live course for CPMAI+E. Here is my understanding of it:
CPMAI : Comprehensive AI & ML Project Management Training CPMAI+ PLUS : Add on Enhances CPMAI with RPA, Big Data, Data Science CPMAI+E : Adds Ethical & Trustworthy AI to CPMAI+
I might be wrong, but I assume it consists of recorded webinars.

@Danny Seow - Yes those are the three levels of CPMAI training + certification. The training is a full LMS course experience with exercises, workbook, and final exam, so it's not webinars, but rather purpose-built training with hundreds of topic modules and dozens of lessons. Worth enrolling! Saving Changes...
@ Ronald Schmelzer, is the exam through Peason Vue, can take remote?
Anyone taken this recently that can speak to the content, learning experience?
Thank you

Cecil Jackson - Currently, the CPMAI certification exam is completed on the Cognilytica LMS site, and not through Pearson Vue. When the CPMAI course and certification are moved to the PMI LMS and systems, the exam will become available on Pearson Vue at that time.
