As a chapter, we're excited to introduce you to PMI's newest certification focused specifically on PMO professionals. This certification was launched globally in February 2025 and represents an important addition to PMI's certification portfolio.
The PMI-PMOCP certifies your expertise in leading and shaping Project Management Offices (PMOs), demonstrating your ability to drive strategic value. It shows you understand the unique needs, challenges, and culture of each organization in crafting an optimal PMO structure.
This is not just another project management certification—it specifically validates your ability to create, lead, and support effective PMOs. The exam tests your knowledge across six key domains, with the heaviest focus on strategic elements, design, and effectiveness. This is the first PMI certification specifically targeting PMO professionals, filling a gap between project-level certifications and organizational strategy. The certification is ISO-accredited and based on extensive research with PMO practitioners worldwide.
One of our own PMI Central Ohio members recently earned this certification - join us in congratulating them on this amazing achievement.
