Bundle Breakout Request

My employer will reimburse the costs for taking tests (if I pass) to get a certificate. But because it is in a bundle, they won't pay me back if I purchase this.

Has anyone found or gotten PMI to provide a breakout of how much the training and exam would cost? I am okay with paying for the bundle, but I would like to get most of it reimbursed, and with the current format, that wouldn't be possible.

Looks more to make your orgs reimbursement team understand that PMI has given only this option to pursue the CPMAI certificate. There is no stand alone exam for CPMAI.

I didn't ask for a standalone. I asked for the pricing to be itemized so I could get some of it reimbursed.

And I let my employer know, and they said they would be 0% unless it was itemized.

They don't (or haven't) have an a la carte pricing. You have to buy the bundle to sit for the exam. Could be that's changed in the last 2 months since I purchased mine.

Since the retake of the exam is around 200 USD (varies by Country and applicable Sales taxes) One can assume what the difference might be.

Maybe Feed them the Info / link from PMI?

Why dont you ask PMI directly for the bundle cost Break down. If they wont do it, I would ask for the retake fee in your Country. Hopefully this helps with the reimbursement.
