Clarity
What This Pathway Is — and Is Not
So expectations are clear from the outset, this pathway is not:
- ×Direct recruitment by PMI Global.
- ×Automatic employment by Paraklete Institute.
- ×Automatic PMI instructor approval.
- ×A general PMP® certification course.
- ×A guaranteed teaching or income opportunity.
- ×A route for instructors already engaged through another ATP, unless formally disclosed and approved.
Market context
The Market for Authorized Instructor-Led PMP® Training Is Entering a New Phase
PMI has announced that, from a specific date planned for late Q4 2026, live instructor-led PMP training hours are expected to qualify only when delivered through an approved pathway — such as a PMI Authorized Training Partner, an eligible academic programme, or the China REP framework. PMI has stated the exact effective date will be communicated separately.
This transition increases the need for qualified, approved and professionally prepared instructors who can deliver high-quality programmes across Africa's corporations, universities, governments, professional associations and emerging project economies.
Paraklete Institute is therefore developing a selective English-, French- and bilingual faculty bench of experienced project professionals.

- PMP®-certified professionals with substantial project leadership experience.
- Practitioners who have already mentored, coached, spoken or facilitated.

Secondary Talent Pathway
CAPM® holders may be considered for candidate mentoring, assistant facilitation, programme coordination and career-development sessions — with a pathway toward PMP instructor development once the required certification and experience are obtained.
PRINCE2® is an additional project-management qualification that may strengthen a candidate's profile, but does not substitute for the PMI certification required for an authorized PMI course.
