What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

From Syria over mobile data, a signed-in PMI account could not start a PMP certification application. The page listed several possible reasons, including an address in an embargoed country, and the tester reported that registering for a course also failed.

Landing pageWorks

Tested from a Syrian DSL connection in a desktop browser: the PMI website loaded normally, including the membership page, with no block page or regional notice. Paid features were not tested.

Sign-upWorks

The same test from Syria showed the tester using their own PMI account, so an account had been created and was usable from Syria. The sign-up form itself was not tested in this session.

Sign-inWorks

The same test from Syria showed the PMI website open in a signed-in session, so signing in to an existing account worked. No account actions beyond browsing were tested.
