What is the correct way to display multiple PMI designations after your name?

When I got my PMP, it was a simple matter of adding ", PMP" after my name. When I later got my PMI-SP, I now had ", PMP, PMI-SP" after my name.

Now that I recently added PMI-RMP, I'm starting to wonder what is the correct way to list all three designations? Right now, I simply added ", PMI-RMP" after the first two.

I have seen others who add them in the following structure: ", PMI-PMP, -SP, -RMP".

What do you do with your PMI designations? Is there a proper way?

Stéphane, this is an interesting question. I have seen people put the PMP, PMI-SP, PMI-RMP behind their name; but I do not know if this is the PROPER way to designate the certifications. I have also seem people put the trademark R with the circle around the R after the PMP. I wonder if PMI has a specific way?

If there is a specific way, Demetrius, I have not found it on the PMI web site.

I don't know of a specific way. I use PMP, PMI-RMP, PRINCE2 for myself. I have seen other use PMP RMP ACP...

Sorry it doesn't help.

Thanks for sharing, Vincent. I have not seen the PMI-less way you have.

There is no specific way.

However, in workshops the roadmap was introduced as –

• CAPM, PMP, PgMP, PfMP
• PMI-PBA, PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP

The best is to add any credential to your name as and when obtained.

I used to write PMP, PMI-SP, PMI-RMP. Now I make it short in emails for PMP,SP, RMP as I now have MCIArb too. But I would say SP and RMP are clear especially if you have PMP already

Thank you everyone, I'm leaning towards following Vincent and Ahmed's lead: PMP, SP, RMP.

"Always use PMI credentials properly. PMI credentials may only be used by authorized individuals to show that they have met their respective certifications. A credential appears immediately following a certificate
holder’s name, for example on business cards. Used in this manner, the trademark registration symbol and attribution statement need not appear, even though PMI credentials may be registered as trademarks. Any certified individual whose certification has lapsed should immediately discontinue using the credential."

Thanks for finding that document, Thomas. It doesn't look like there are any provisions to "normalize" multiple credentials.

Mayhaps I should just keep it the way I have it now.

Did you see how they suggest that marks should not be used as nouns? Which mean we should refer to each other as PMP credential holders, not PMPs.
