In order to maintain an active certification status and to stay up to date with industry development and trends, PMCs have to meet several criteria in their re-certification. These are centred on meeting the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and management consulting projects that would serve as an endorsement on the PMC’s professionalism.
All PMCs are to maintain a high level of knowledge, skills and abilities to carry out their work competently and professionally in the face of continuous technological, economic and business environment changes, PMCs are required to show evidence of meeting the minimum number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.
The CPD Programme is designed to offer a structured yet holistic developmental framework with a variety of activities of variable competency levels and from different providers that encourages and recognises individual learning opportunities while acknowledging and catering to the unique services offered by different PMCs. Embracing developmental opportunities not only enhances your career, it also enables you to provide better and value-added service to your clients, and assures the public and the business world at large that the competencies of PMCs are being maintained and developed.
In order to maintain an active certification status, PMCs are required to :
- Submit the accumulated required 90 CPD hours in the last 3 years.

- Apply for re-certification within the re-certification application period: 2 months prior to certification expiration.
