PMI questions
PMP vs CAPM — which should I take?
CAPM has no experience requirement and targets students / new PMs. PMP requires 2–5 years of experience managing projects within the last 10 years (depending on education) and 35 hours of training (PMI, checked October 2026).
How long are PMI certifications valid?
Three years for both PMP and CAPM. Renewal requires earning PDUs (Professional Development Units) and paying a renewal fee.
Does the app cover Agile and Hybrid?
The PMP app covers predictive, agile and hybrid approaches as set out in the previous PMP exam outline. PMI launched a new PMP exam on July 9, 2026 (about 40% predictive and 60% agile/hybrid; People 33%, Process 41%, Business Environment 26%), and the app has not been updated for it yet. CAPM (2023 exam outline) covers all three approaches.
Is StudyKits an authorized PMI training provider?
No. StudyKits is independent practice software and does not provide the 35 hours of project management education that PMP requires. From December 1, 2026, live-class hours count only when delivered by a PMI Authorized Training Partner, a China REP, or an accredited academic program (PMI, checked October 2026).
