Two Routes. One Credential.

Both courses lead to the CSPP™ certification — a sustainability credential backed by GPM and PMI. The difference is where you start.

CSPP™ (formerly GPM-b™) is a trademark of GPM Global and the PMI-GPM Joint Venture.

Sustainable project management courses, in 30 seconds

Two routes to the CSPP™ credential: the Certification Course for people building their proof, and the RPL Fast-Track for certified project managers — online or in person in Dublin.

New to projectsCSPP™ Certification Course

Already certifiedCSPP™ RPL Fast-Track

Made for

Coordinators, career-changers and unofficial project managers — the people running projects without the title.

Holders of a current project management credential, adding sustainability and AI-era delivery to what they’ve proven.

PMI pathway

Non-Certified Practitioner — a longer exam that covers project management foundations as well as sustainability.

Certified Practitioner — a shorter exam focused on sustainability principles and methods.

Experience needed

None. Training starts from zero and builds the project foundations in.

Evidenced by your credential — nothing further to prove.

Qualifying certification

None required.

One current credential: PMP®, PgMP®, PfMP® or CAPM® (PMI) · PRINCE2® Practitioner — Project, Programme or Portfolio · IPMA® Level A–D · APM PMQ, ChPP, RegPM or MPLSC · AACEI CCP · AIPM CPPM, CPSPM or RegPM — or a Master’s degree focused on project or programme management. Sustainability degrees don’t qualify.

Education

A secondary diploma — Leaving Certificate, high-school diploma, GED or the equivalent where you studied.

A bachelor’s degree or secondary diploma, alongside your credential.

Proof to have ready

Your diploma details. PMI can select applications for audit, so keep a copy to hand.

Your certificate in active status — name, number and expiry — or your Master’s transcript. Lapsed credentials don’t qualify.

Training with Regeneration

25 hours live · 4 days, online or in person in Dublin.

The exam

145 questions · 175 minutes, with one 10-minute break midway.

PMI membership is optional on both routes — members pay less on PMI’s exam-related fees. And both routes end in the same CSPP™ credential, renewed every three years with 30 PDUs.

Before you choose

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the two CSPP™ routes?+

One credential, two doors. The Certification Course is for people without a project management certification: 25 hours of live training and a longer exam that also tests project management foundations. The RPL Fast-Track is for people holding a current credential such as PMP® or PRINCE2®: 12 hours of training and a shorter exam focused on sustainability.

I have years of experience, just no certificate. Which route is mine?+

The Certification Course. PMI defines the Fast-Track by what you can evidence — a current certification or a Master’s degree in project or programme management — rather than years worked. The upside: your experience makes the material land faster, and you finish holding the proof that has been missing.

Which certifications qualify for the RPL Fast-Track?+

One current credential in active status: PMP®, PgMP®, PfMP® or CAPM® from PMI; PRINCE2® Practitioner (Project, Programme or Portfolio); IPMA® Level A, B, C or D; APM PMQ, ChPP, RegPM or MPLSC; AACEI CCP; or AIPM CPPM, CPSPM or RegPM. A Master’s degree focused on project or programme management also qualifies — sustainability degrees do not.

What proof will PMI ask for?+

When you apply for the exam you declare your qualification, and PMI can select any application for audit. On the Fast-Track, that means your certificate in active status — name, number and expiry — or your Master’s transcript. On the Certification Course, your school-leaving diploma or its equivalent. Keep copies to hand and the application moves through without drama.

What does PMI member versus non-member mean?+

PMI membership is a paid subscription, and it is optional on both routes. Members pay reduced PMI exam and renewal fees and get access to PMI’s resource library. Worth pricing up before you pay for the exam — PMI does not refund the difference if you join afterwards.

What is the exam like on each route?+

Both run in person at a Pearson VUE centre or online with a proctor. Certification Course: 145 questions over 175 minutes, with one 10-minute break midway. RPL Fast-Track: 100 questions over 120 minutes. Either way you get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility window.

Do the two routes lead to different certificates?+

No — one credential: Certified Sustainable Project Professional (CSPP™), backed by GPM and PMI. The certificate does not record which door you came through.

Is this the same CSPP™ certification as the one linked to PMI?+

Yes — one credential. CSPP™ (formerly GPM-b™) sits within the PMI-GPM joint venture, and the certificate itself is issued by GPM rather than by any individual training provider. Train with Regeneration and you sit the same exam, join the same register and hold the same certification — with PMI members paying the reduced exam rate.

How do I keep the CSPP™ once I have passed?+

Renew every three years by logging 30 professional development units (PDUs). Your seat at the CPD Showcase — included with each Regeneration course — starts the count.

Can we put a whole team or organisation through the CSPP™?+

Yes — private cohorts run for companies, public bodies and nonprofits, in person or online, scheduled around your calendar. Each seat carries the same exam voucher, Pro Bono Lab placement and CPD Showcase invitation as a public date. Request a team proposal and you’ll get dates, delivery and group pricing in one document.

Do founding cohorts get anything extra before the exam?+

Yes. Every founding cohort gets a complimentary revision day with your trainer before the exam — a session to go back over the areas you want to firm up, work through practice questions and settle the nerves. Included with your founding seat at no extra cost.

For organisations and teams

Sending a team, not just yourself?

When a team shares one language for running projects, the pulling-in-different-directions tax disappears. Regeneration runs private CSPP™ cohorts for companies, public bodies and nonprofits — the same certification and the same included extras, delivered in person or online, around your calendar. One proposal covers dates, delivery and group pricing.

Request a team proposal Talk it through first

Founding cohorts starting August–October 2026.

Seven cohorts, online or in person at NovaUCD in Dublin — and no cohort after this is priced this low.
