About the course

Why take PgMP Certification Training?

The Program Management Professional (PgMP) is PMI's advanced credential for people who manage programs, which are groups of related projects and activities coordinated to deliver benefits that individual projects cannot. Unlike the PMP, the PgMP assessment has more than one stage: PMI first reviews your application and experience, and a panel review then follows before you sit the multiple-choice exam.

This course helps experienced project and program managers organise their knowledge for that process. We cover strategic program management, the program life cycle, benefits management, stakeholder management and governance, using The Standard for Program Management as the reference point and practical case work.

Because eligibility depends heavily on your own documented program experience, the course is not a substitute for it. We help you understand the evidence PMI looks for and how to present it, but PMI alone decides on your application and panel review.

● Program managers coordinating multiple related projects
● Senior project managers moving into program leadership
