During the last several weeks, our office has received an increasing number of telephone calls from examinees and from instructors conducting examination preparation workshops for the PMP Certification Examination inquiring whether PMI® has a policy on post-examination debriefing.

Examinee questions generally fall into three groups:

1) “I attended a pre-examination workshop and the instructor called and asked me if there was anything on the examination that was not covered in the class. Can I give the instructor this information?”
2) “I just took the examination and passed. Can I give the people in my study group who have not yet taken the examination examples of the questions and answers?”
3) “I’m thinking about taking a workshop from Company X. They use PMPs who just passed the examination to provide training for the examination. Is this permissible?”

Instructor questions generally fall into two groups:

1) “What can I ask someone who took the examination about the test and can I repeat this information to my students?”
2) “If I didn’t ask, but an examinee offered to discuss with me some questions/answers seen on the examination, can I use this information in my class?”

When a candidate submits an application, he or she agrees to abide by the PMP Code of Professional Conduct and the PMP Certificant and Candidate Agreement and Release. Both documents address the answer to the post-examination debriefing question. Point One of the PMP Certificant and Candidate Agreement and Release specifically states, “…Furthermore, I agree not to discuss, debrief or disclose, in any manner, the specific content of the certification examination’s questions and answers to any individual.” The questions shown above are examples of potential violations to the PMP Code of Professional Conduct and PMP Certificant and Candidate Agreement and Release policy.

If a PMP is found to have violated a test-related policy, his or her certification status could be effected.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding test security and confidentiality, please do not hesitate to call the Certification Department at PMI Headquarters. Thank you.
