Not so obvious benefits of a PMI membership

Aside from the benefits that you’d already expect from joining PMI as a member (e.g. access to publications, discounts to resources), have you thought about:

  • The cost of a one-year PMI membership ($129) and the PMP exam as a member ($405) is actually less than the cost of the PMP exam as a non-member ($555).
  • You could (and probably should) add ‘PMI member‘ as one of your professional affiliations on your resume.
  • If you also join a local chapter, you can:
    • Network with other PMPs and aspiring PMPs at chapter events.
    • Find others in your area to form a study group for your PMP/CAPM.
    • Attend meetings and volunteer for activities, which can earn PDUs after you have attained your PMP/CAPM credential.

By the way, if you are a student or a retiree, you can apply for membership at a greatly reduced rate at $30/yr. and $60/yr. respectively.
