If Your ACP Application or Certification Is Revoked
Understand What “Revoked” Means
A revoked status means PMI has cancelled or withdrawn your PMI-ACP eligibility or certification after it was approved, typically due to ethical, compliance, or integrity violations. When your status is revoked, you are no longer recognized as a PMI-ACP credential holder or eligible candidate until the issue is formally resolved with PMI.
Reasons for Revocation of PMI-ACP Certification or Eligibility
- Ethics or Code of Conduct Violation: Breaching PMI’s Code of Ethics through dishonesty, misconduct, or misrepresentation.
- Fraudulent Information: Providing false or misleading information during your application, audit, or exam process.
- Cheating or Exam Misconduct: Engaging in prohibited behavior such as sharing or using unauthorized exam content, impersonation, or violating PMI’s exam rules.
- Failure to Maintain Certification: Not meeting Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) or failing to earn the required PDUs within the renewal cycle.
- Non-compliance with PMI Policies: Ignoring PMI’s requests for information, or failing to respond to verification or ethics reviews.
What to Do If Your Status Is Revoked
Review PMI’s Notification:
Carefully read the revocation notice sent by PMI. It will outline the specific reason for the revocation of your PMI-ACP certification and any available next steps or deadlines.
Contact PMI:
Reach out to PMI through their official support or ethics department if you need clarification about the PMI-ACP revocation or guidance on how to resolve the issue.
Submit an Appeal:
If you believe the revocation was issued in error or due to a misunderstanding, you may file a formal appeal. Ensure that you submit it within the timeframe specified in the notice.
Provide Supporting Evidence:
Prepare and include clear documentation to support your case, such as communication records, audit logs, training completion certificates, or any other relevant materials that validate your position regarding your PMI-ACP certification.
If the Revocation Is Upheld
You will lose your PMI-ACP credential or eligibility permanently in cases involving fraud or serious ethical violations.
You may be restricted from reapplying for a specific period or indefinitely, depending on the severity of the violation.
Your name will be removed from PMI’s official list of active PMI-ACP credential holders.
Prevent Revocation in the Future
To maintain your PMI-ACP certification and avoid revocation:
Always provide accurate and verifiable information in your application and during audits.
Follow PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct at all times.
Do not share, copy, or reproduce any PMI-ACP exam materials.
Keep your Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) records up to date and submit your PDUs before the renewal deadline.
Maintain honest and transparent communication with PMI if any issue arises.
