Become a Project Management Trainer at PMCOE

If you hold an active PMI credential and you teach well, 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 — backed by a PMI Authorized Training Partner and a team that cares about student outcomes. Teaching is some of the most rewarding work an experienced practitioner can do: it sharpens your own mastery, keeps you current with how the profession is evolving, and lets you give back to the people coming up behind you. If you've ever finished a project and thought you could explain how it should be done better than the course you once sat through, this is your chance to prove it.

Who we're looking for

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

Become a project management trainer: what teaching with us looks like

Our courses are live and instructor-led, with real cohort exercises rather than pre-recorded slides people half-watch. You'll teach motivated professionals preparing for globally recognised PMI certifications, with course materials and exam-focused structure already built around the current content outlines. That means you spend your energy on teaching and coaching, not on building a curriculum from scratch.

Why teach with us

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

Support for our instructors

Teaching well is a craft, and we back our trainers so they can focus on it. You join a community of credentialled instructors, get exam-aligned materials and a tested course structure, and have a team handling scheduling, enrolment and student support around you. We share what's working across cohorts — the explanations that land, the practice questions that 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. Start the conversation on our contact page and tell us which programmes you'd like to teach and when you're available.

Frequently asked questions

What credentials do I need to teach?

An active PMI credential relevant to the course you want to teach — typically the PMP, PMI-ACP or PMI-CP — plus genuine project delivery experience and strong teaching ability.

Is teaching full-time or flexible?

Our cohort-based schedule is flexible, which is why many trainers teach alongside their consulting or delivery work. 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 — that's what makes a session memorable — but the underlying framework and exam coverage are already built and kept current for you.
