PMI is the organization that awards the PMP and CAPM certifications, not an independent prep company, so this listing covers PMI's own learning resources rather than a third-party course.
Its homepage says a free PMI account unlocks dozens of free online courses, digital tools, virtual events and thought-leadership content. Paid membership adds free and discounted professional education and certification, plus members-only tools such as the AI assistant PMI Infinity.
The pages we reviewed do not describe PMI's exam-prep products, question banks or prices, so this listing cannot yet compare PMI's prep with dedicated providers.
