How we rank: the MyPMP Score
Most directories rank on whoever pays the most or claims the highest pass rate. We don't. The MyPMP Score is a transparent 0–100 quality signal built only from evidence we can verify — so you can trust the order you see.
What goes into the score
Reputation · 30%
Live nowVerified learner reviews only — from people who actually enquired or enrolled through MyPMP. Bayesian-adjusted so a handful of 5-star reviews can't outrank a long track record.
Verified outcomes · 25%
Rolling outPass and completion rates — but only when we can verify them (certification-body checks, or learners we survey after a cohort). Self-claimed pass rates count for nothing until corroborated.
Data trust · 20%
Live nowHow fresh and accurate a provider keeps its batch details, and whether learners have reported anything wrong. Providers who keep listings current rank higher.
Credentials · 15%
Live nowAccreditation (PMI, AXELOS, Scrum Alliance…), institute tier, and the reputation of the trainers who actually deliver the cohorts.
Engagement · 10%
Rolling outHow quickly and reliably a provider responds to learner enquiries. Coming as we roll out response tracking.
The 5-review gate
A provider must earn at least 5 verified learner reviews before it receives a MyPMP Score or appears in any Top institutes list. Until then it's shown honestly as “Not yet rated” — listed, but never ranked above institutes with a proven track record.

Why you can trust it
We measure, we don't ask. The strongest signals are ones we own — verified reviews, data freshness, learner reports — not numbers an institute types into a form. Anything self-reported is treated as unverified until we can corroborate it.
Small samples don't win by luck. A provider needs 5 verified reviews just to be ranked, and ratings are Bayesian-adjusted: even then, a provider with a handful of glowing reviews is shown as Provisional and sits nearer the average until it earns a track record.
Gaming is expensive. Only reviews tied to a real enquiry count, review spikes are flagged, and providers with open accuracy reports are demoted until they fix and re-confirm their listings.
Price is separate on purpose. Like serious rating bodies, we never mix cost into quality. Price is shown and filterable — but a cheaper course never buys a better rank, and an expensive one never buys one either.
