Why Employers Offer Tuition Reimbursement
Offering tuition reimbursement is a strategic investment:
It attracts and retains talent—84% of employees say tuition assistance influenced their decision to join; 80% say it helps retain them.
Employers see strong ROI: improved employee engagement, upskilling, and reduced turnover.
Many companies take advantage of tax benefits—up to $5,250 per employee per year is excluded from taxable income.
At PM-ProLearn, we’re dedicated to helping people just like you enhance their careers and their lives with professional certifications.
Many employers and companies offer tuition reimbursement programs that cover professional certification costs. At PM-ProLearn, we help you make the most of this benefit—without requiring upfront full payment.
With our credit card hold authorization program, you begin training immediately. Once your employer processes reimbursement, the hold is released—no charge on your card.
We can also work with Employers to do upfront payments rather than reimbursements for individuals or even set up custom group training options for multiple employees.
These programs apply to our PMP®, PMI-ACP®, CAPM®, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, and CCMP courses, helping you gain in-demand skills, and boost your career.
How Employer Tuition Reimbursement Works for Certifications
Tuition reimbursement programs typically operate by letting employees pay initially and submit receipts afterward. Employers then reimburse eligible expenses. PM-ProLearn simplifies this process:
Enroll in a Certification Program – PMP®, PMI-ACP®, CAPM®, Lean Six Sigma, and more.
Credit Card Hold Authorization – Instead of immediate charging, we place a temporary hold for up to 30 days. When your employer pays, we release it.
Complete Documentation – We provide detailed invoices, enrollment confirmation, and proof of completion aligned with your company’s reimbursement requirements.
Employer Reimburses – Your company remits payment to PM-ProLearn or reimburses you, based on their policy.
Your Employer Tuition Reimbursement may be able to be applied to any of these certifications:
In addition to your training, PM-ProLearn will pay for your certification exam and a retest fee if needed (Restrictions Apply) as an added value and at no additional cost. Your training costs include a variety of benefits you can only get from PM-ProLearn for an entire year, including:
Free reattendance to our live or virtual courses as often as you’d like
Access to our online learning system, including videos, quizzes, practice tests, mastery tracking of key concepts, and so much more
Ability to schedule 1-1 coaching with an instructor whenever you feel you need a bit of extra support and guidance along your journey
Working with an instructor to expertly translate your military experience and craft a compelling PMI application

Why Use Employer Tuition Reimbursement for Certifications at PM-ProLearn
I highly recommend PM-ProLearn to anyone pursuing their PMP certification; particularly those who may have been away from the project management field for some time. In my case, it had been nearly five years since I last held a project-focused
role, and I needed a comprehensive refresher.
I enrolled in the week-long virtual course led by Robert King, whose expertise and engaging instruction made the intensive material both manageable and highly effective.
The course structure allowed for insightful discussions that helped solidify key PMP concepts, even for those re-entering the discipline.
What truly distinguishes PM-ProLearn is their continued investment in learner
success. The practice quizzes and exams are rigorous, yet essential to building exam readiness. Their mobile app was particularly useful, allowing me to stay on track with my studies amidst a demanding schedule. After just 2.5 weeks of focused preparation
post-course, I passed my PMP exam and accepted a Project Manager role the following week.
