Become a Project Management Trainer at PMCOE

Do you hold an active PMI credential, and do you teach well? Then there's a place for you here. To become a project management trainer with PMCOE is to help working professionals earn the credentials that change their careers. A PMI Authorized Training Partner backs you, and so does a team that cares about student outcomes.

Teaching is some of the most rewarding work an experienced practitioner can do, because it sharpens your own mastery while it keeps you current with how the profession is evolving. So you also get to give back to the people coming up behind you. Maybe you once finished a project and thought you could explain it better than the course you sat through. This is your chance to prove it.

Who we're looking for

So we're always interested in talking to practitioners who hold an active PMP, PMI-ACP or PMI-CP credential. They must also make complex material clear and engaging. Real delivery experience matters as much as the credential, because our cohorts value instructors who have actually run projects. Those instructors can also answer the question behind the question. So if you can turn a dry process into a story a learner remembers on exam day, we want to hear from you.

What teaching with us looks like

Our courses are live and instructor-led, so you get real cohort exercises rather than pre-recorded slides people half-watch. Then you'll teach motivated professionals preparing for globally recognised PMI certifications. We build course materials and exam-focused structure around the current content outlines. That way you spend your energy on teaching and coaching, while you skip building a curriculum from scratch.

Why teach with us

You get to do high-impact work on a flexible, cohort-based schedule. Meanwhile a team alongside you tracks pass rates and student success rather than just filling seats. Many of our trainers also combine teaching with their own consulting or delivery work, since the classroom sharpens the very skills they apply on client projects. Teaching then keeps you close to the latest exam content and the questions practitioners are really wrestling with.

Support for our instructors

Great teaching is a craft, so we back our trainers and let them focus on it. First you join a community of credentialled instructors. Then you get exam-aligned materials and a tested course structure, while a team handles scheduling, enrolment and student support around you. We also share what's working across cohorts, because the right explanations land and the right practice questions expose gaps. So every instructor benefits from the whole group's experience rather than teaching in isolation. The result is a better experience for you and stronger outcomes for the professionals you teach.

How to apply

Send your profile, your active credentials and a short sample of how you teach. A recording, an outline, or simply how you'd explain a tricky concept all work as examples. Then start the conversation on our contact page. Also tell us which programmes you'd like to teach and when you're available.

Frequently asked questions

What credentials do I need to teach?

You need an active PMI credential relevant to the course you want to teach, typically the PMP, PMI-ACP or PMI-CP. Beyond that, we also look for genuine project delivery experience and strong teaching ability.

Is teaching full-time or flexible?

Our cohort-based schedule is flexible, so many trainers teach alongside their consulting or delivery work. Then we agree availability with you up front.

Do I need to build my own course materials?

No. Our courses already have exam-aligned materials and structure, so you can focus on teaching and coaching rather than curriculum design. You're welcome to bring your own examples and war stories, because that's what makes a session memorable. Meanwhile the underlying framework and exam coverage stay built and current for you.
