How much does the PMI-CP exam cost?

The PMI-CP exam costs $555 for PMI members and $755 for non-members. PMI membership is $139/year and provides exam discounts plus access to PMI resources. The certification is valid for 3 years requiring 60 PDUs for renewal.

How does PMI-CP differ from PMP?

While PMP covers general project management, PMI-CP is specifically designed for construction. It covers construction-specific topics like CPM scheduling, OSHA safety requirements, construction contract types, BIM, constructability reviews, and construction cost management that are not deeply covered in PMP.

Is BIM knowledge required for the PMI-CP exam?

Yes, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a significant topic on the PMI-CP exam. You should understand BIM concepts including clash detection, Level of Development (LOD), 4D/5D BIM, BIM execution plans, and interoperability standards like IFC.

What construction safety topics are covered?

The exam covers OSHA construction safety requirements including the Fatal Four hazards, fall protection, scaffolding safety, confined space entry, hot work permits, lockout/tagout, silica exposure management, hierarchy of controls, and leading vs. lagging safety indicators.
