Construction Professional (PMI-CP)

If Your CP Application or Certification Is Revoked

Understand What “Revoked” Means

A revoked status means the certifying body has cancelled or withdrawn your Construction Professional (CP) eligibility or certification after it was approved, typically due to ethical, compliance, or integrity violations.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 CP credential holder or eligible candidate until the issue is formally reviewed and resolved with the certifying authority.

Ethics or Code of Conduct Violation: Breaching the certifying body’s Code of Ethics through dishonesty, misconduct, or misrepresentation.

Fraudulent Information: Providing false or misleading information during your CP application, audit, or exam process.

Cheating or Exam Misconduct: Engaging in prohibited behavior such as sharing or using unauthorized exam content, impersonation, or violating exam rules.

Failure to Maintain Certification: Not meeting Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements or failing to complete the required units within the renewal cycle.

Non-Compliance with Policies: Ignoring the certifying body’s requests for information, or failing to respond to verification, audits, or ethics reviews.
