What's the difference between PMI.org membership and PMI Memphis membership?
PMI.org is the global organization with 700k+ members worldwide. PMI Memphis is your local chapter—offering networking, events, and community in the Mid-South. You need both: PMI.org for global resources, PMI Memphis for local connections.
How much does membership cost?
PMI.org membership is $154/year (plus $10 application fee for new members, totaling $164 your first year). PMI Memphis chapter membership is an additional $30+/year. Combined, you get global resources, certification discounts, and local community. Your membership saves you $150 on PMP exam fees alone.
Do I need to be certified to join?
No! We welcome aspiring PMs, current PMs, and seasoned leaders. Whether you're exploring certification or already have your PMP, there's a place for you here.
How do I get started with PMP certification?
Start with our partnership with Duvoll Education. We offer PMP, CAPM, and PMI-CP courses with member discounts and proven pass rates. Visit our Education page to learn more.
What events can I attend as a member?
All our events are open to everyone—members and non-members. As a member, you get discounted registration fees, priority access, and exclusive resources like our member-only job board and AI-powered PM tools from PMI.org.
Where can I find information about military and veteran resources from PMI HQ?
The PMI Military page provides contact information to get in touch with a PMI representative dedicated to helping military and veterans learn about opportunities in Project Management. Visit the page at https://www.pmi.org/military or email them at vp_membership@pmimemphis.org. The PMI Memphis Chapter also has a dedicated Director of Military Relations to support transitioning service members in the Mid-South.
Is any financial assistance available for Military/Veterans to help cover the cost of certification testing?
Yes! Service members and veterans may be able to use the GI Bill to obtain reimbursement for some or all of the cost of certification testing, through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Visit the VA website here, for more information: https://www.va.gov/education/about-gi-bill-benefits/how-to-use-benefits/test-fees/ Additionally, some employers offer their employees educational / tuition assistance which may cover the cost of things like boot camps and certification testing, if the testing is related to an employee’s role or responsibilities
Does the Chapter provide assistance or training to help prepare for certification tests?
Yes. PMI Memphis offers PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, and PMI-CP certification exam prep courses through our partnership with Duvoll Education. We also host boot camps, study groups, and professional development workshops. For more information, contact vp_profdev@pmimemphis.org or visit our Education page.
How can I volunteer with the Chapter?
The heart of every PMI Chapter is its volunteers, and PMI Memphis Chapter is no different. With a membership base of over 700 individuals, and over 3,500 subscribers to our monthly newsletter, the Chapter relies on its volunteers to organize and lead the Chapter, host events, and support all the Chapter’s functions. If you would like to volunteer in some capacity with the Chapter – to include assisting our transitioning military members and veterans – visit PMI’s Volunteer Relationship Management System (VRMS) page: https://vrms.pmi.org/OpportunitySearch/OpportunitySearch
I am thinking about a career in Project Management, but I don’t know how to get started. Does PMI have any resources to help me find out if Project Management is for me, and how I can get started?
Yes! PMI recently developed a new career development tool called NAVIGATOR. With NAVIGATOR, you can answer a few assessment questions about your goals, skills, and knowledge gaps, and NAVIGATOR will produce a custom-tailored action plan specifically to help you achieve your goals. Check it out here, at https://navigator.pmi.org.
Who do I contact if I have any questions about Workshops, Continuous Learning, or Certification Prep?
For questions about PMP or CAPM exam prep courses, workshops, continuous learning, or PDU opportunities, contact our VP of Professional Development at vp_profdev@pmimemphis.org. You can also visit our Education page to browse all current offerings and enrollment dates.
How much does PMP certification cost?
The PMP exam fee is $405 for PMI members and $555 for non-members. PMI membership costs $154/year (plus $10 application fee for new members), so joining PMI before taking the exam saves you $150 immediately. You will also need 35 contact hours of project management education, which PMI Memphis offers through Duvoll Education at member-discounted rates. Total investment typically ranges from $1,500-$2,500 including training, membership, and exam fees.
What is the CAPM certification and who is it for?
The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) is PMI's entry-level certification for aspiring project managers. Unlike the PMP, the CAPM requires no prior project management experience—just 23 hours of project management education. It's ideal for recent graduates, career changers, and professionals looking to formalize their PM skills. PMI Memphis offers CAPM exam prep courses through Duvoll Education.
How do I become a project manager in Memphis?
Start by building foundational knowledge through our free Project Management Basics 101 course. From there, pursue your CAPM certification if you're early in your career, or your PMP if you have experience. Join PMI Memphis to access networking events where you can connect with hiring managers from FedEx, St. Jude, AutoZone, and other major Memphis employers. Many of our members landed their first PM role through connections made at chapter events.
What's the difference between PMP and CAPM certification?
The CAPM is designed for entry-level professionals with no PM experience requirement—just 23 hours of education. The PMP requires 36 months of project management experience (or 60 months without a degree) plus 35 hours of PM education. The PMP is the gold standard for experienced project managers, while the CAPM is the ideal starting point. PMI Memphis offers exam prep courses for both through Duvoll Education.
What is PMI and is there a chapter near me in Memphis?
The Project Management Institute (PMI) is the world's leading professional association for project managers, with over 700,000 members globally. PMI Memphis is your local chapter, serving the Greater Memphis and Mid-South area since 1999. We offer monthly networking events, certification training, career resources, and corporate partnerships—all right here in Memphis, Tennessee.
