As a professional working in the field of project management in Iran, I have witnessed firsthand the dedication, passion, and commitment of many Iranian professionals who strive to improve their skills and achieve internationally recognized certifications. Thousands of talented and motivated individuals invest months and even years of their time, energy, and resources preparing for these examinations. They are engineers, project managers, business professionals, and specialists eager to expand their expertise and contribute meaningfully to their fields.

However, due to increasing restrictions and complexities surrounding access to international certification exams for Iranian candidates, many of these individuals face insurmountable barriers. Despite their efforts, they are often denied the opportunity to sit for examinations that are pivotal to their professional advancement and global recognition.

Organizations such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) and Pearson VUE, which administer and deliver these essential exams, must collaborate with relevant decision-makers to address this critical issue. A clear, lawful, and practical pathway needs to be established to ensure that qualified Iranian professionals can continue to access these examinations without unnecessary obstacles.

Access to education and professional development is a fundamental right and should not be influenced by geopolitical issues. It is crucial for these organizations to uphold their commitment to global inclusivity and support the professional growth of individuals regardless of their nationality.

I urge PMI, Pearson VUE, and all relevant authorities to engage in dialogue with local stakeholders, policymakers, and certification bodies to find a constructive solution. By doing so, they can set an example of how to support educational and professional development on a global scale while fostering inclusive practices.

Please, join me in calling for these organizations to take actionable steps towards creating equitable access to certification exams for Iranian professionals. Your signature can help raise awareness and pave the way for much-needed change, enabling countless individuals to continue their paths of professional excellence and international collaboration.
