The new PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP)SM credential will be unveiled at the upcoming PMI College of Scheduling Conference on 4–7 May.  Eligible candidates for the credential can now apply online and schedule their examination for 30 May or beyond. 

PMI is looking for potential credential-holders to take the examination during the incentive period, 30 May – 31 July 2008.  Those who schedule and sit for the examination during this period will receive 50 percent off the price of the examination, and be entered into one of four regional drawings for US$1,000.

The PMI College of Scheduling was a major contributor to the development of the credential and is one of the biggest supporters of the PMI-SP.  Together, the College of Scheduling and PMI are partnering to launch this specialty credential at the annual conference.

For those wishing to study and prepare for the examination, the PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP)SM Examination Specification and the Practice Standard for Scheduling are just some of the many study aids available to assist in the preparation for the PMI-SP examination.
