Question
You learn that a former boss of yours who is a PMP has committed to his boss that 100% of the PMO that he manages at their company will be certified. They also don?t have any training budget, and can?t send anyone to training to qualify for the training requirement for the exam. The other problem is that one of the people who passed the test is 22 years old and going to junior college. You know that this person has been working in this area for only two years at most. When asked about it, you are told that they lied about the experience hours and the training required of the PMP application. What is the best thing to do?

Why each option
A former PMP-certified boss orchestrated falsification of PMP application experience and training hours. This is a direct violation of PMI's ethics policy and must be reported to PMI.
Contacting the former boss informally is insufficient because it does not address the integrity of already-issued credentials and relies on the violator self-correcting.
Falsifying PMP application information - including experience hours and training requirements - is a serious violation of PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. The appropriate action is to report the individuals and their supervisors to PMI with specific details so PMI can investigate and take disciplinary action. PMI maintains the integrity of the PMP credential and is the proper authority to address credential fraud.
Threatening to report someone to PMI unless they rehire you constitutes extortion and would itself be a serious ethical violation under the PMI Code of Ethics.
Ignoring known credential fraud allows the violation to persist and makes you complicit in undermining the integrity of the PMP certification.
