PMI会员资格有什么好处？

The benefits of a PMI membership are enormous and that is why I always recommend PMP aspirants to get a PMI membership. It offers immense benefits that you will understand once you join.

I became a member of PMI as soon as I was aware of its benefits, and, at the same time, I also joined my local chapter—PMI Arabian Gulf Chapter, Kuwait. I benefited and enjoyed it immensely.

One year after getting my PMI membership,我通过了我的PMP考试。我发现PMI会员资格很有用我的PMP考试准备。

在我们开始讨论PMI会员资格的好处之前，让我们快速了解PMI会员的类型。

PMI offers four types of membership. These memberships are as follows:

1. 个人会员资格
2. 学生会员资格
3. 退休人员会员资格
4. 小组成员资格

个人会员资格：该会员资格适用于想要加入PMI的任何人。最初的加入费为139美元，然后您必须每年支付129美元。

学生会员资格:If you are a student, then you can join the PMI using this membership. The first time joining fee for you is 42 USD, and then you have to pay 32 USD yearly.

小组成员资格:该会员资格向有15个或更多人有兴趣加入PMI的组织或大学开放。如果您是这样一个小组的一部分，则可以直接与PMI联系以获得折扣会员费。
