Professional in Business Analysis (PBA)

Renew Your PMI- PBA Certification

To maintain your PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) certification, you must renew it every three years by fulfilling the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) established by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

 

Renewal Requirements

  • Earn 60 PDUs (Professional Development Units):
    To maintain your PMI-PBA certification, you must earn 60 PDUs over a 3-year cycle. PDUs can be earned through education, professional experience, or by giving back to the business analysis or project management community. This includes activities like attending business analysis courses, webinars, workshops, or volunteering.

    Submit Your PDUs:
    Log in to your PMI account and report your PDUs using the CCR Dashboard on PMI’s official website. Ensure your PDUs are accurately categorized in alignment with PMI’s Talent Triangle and CCR guidelines.

    Pay the Renewal Fee:

    • PMI Members: USD $60

    • Non-Members: USD $150
      You’ll be prompted to pay after your PDUs are approved. Payment is made through the PMI portal.

    Maintain Active PMI Membership (Optional but Recommended):
    While not required, active PMI membership gives you access to exclusive webinars, discounted training, and tools to help you earn PDUs and stay aligned with the latest trends in business analysis.

Renewal Timeline

You can start submitting PDUs at any time during your three-year PMI-PBA certification cycle. It is recommended to complete all 60 PDUs before your cycle’s end date to avoid suspension or expiration of your certification.
