Program Management Professional (PgMP)® Certification Training

Program Management is the next logical career step for professional project managers leading larger and more complex initiatives.

To some, program management is viewed as the top of the “technical project management” professional ladder. With less than 2,500 certified PgMPs currently in the world, this certification provides a definitive advantage for project professionals seeking growth and recognition.

Our Methodology

Short version: “Pass our Exam Simulator in Exam Mode at 85% two consecutive times within 7 days and take the test in 7 days”

Long version:

• Practice using our Exam Simulator in Flexible Mode

• Once you start to achieve 70%+, start using the Exam Mode when you have four hours. You may also wish to schedule the actual exam. Depending on your schedule, our recommendation is two weeks out.

• Within the next week, practice using the Exam Mode as often as you have time. You know you are ready when are able to achieve 75% or higher.

  • Everyone who had achieved 75% or higher in our Exam Simulator in Exam mode two consecutive times within the 7 days and takes the exam within the next 7 days actually never failed the exam.

  • But for the Money Back Guarantee to apply, as our “skin is in the game”, the threshold is set at 85%.

The 3 tops reasons to consider obtaining the PgMP Certification are:

• Natural Progression. Program management is a natural progression for experienced project managers. As you lead larger and multiple related projects with moving parts, you are embarking on the road toward program management.

• Competitive Differentiator. The PgMP certification is still rare, – there are only about 2,000+ in the world today, and this is over an 8 year period after the formal introduction of the certification. Certified program management professionals immediately command attention, in your company and at professional events.

• Career Growth. For up and coming project professionals, the shift from managing tactical projects to higher strategic initiatives is a vitally important move. The PgMP certification would further solidify your project management acumen and your readiness to tackle the next level of challenges.

About Program Management Certification: 

The Program Management Professional (PgMP) certification recognizes demonstrated experience, skill, and performance in the oversight of multiple, related projects that are aligned with organizational objectives.  

The PgMP certification is designed for those who manage programs that contain complex activities spanning functions, organizations, geographic regions and cultures, who build credibility, establish rapport and maintain communication with stakeholders at multiple levels (including those external to the organization), and who possess advanced skills in finance, cross-cultural awareness, leadership, communication, influence, negotiation and conflict resolution.

PgMP is the next logical step in the career progression of a project manager. As successful project managers tackle increasingly larger and more complex projects, it will be inevitable that they start to manage a collection of these projects in a program.

We believe the PgMP certification can help project professionals not only be more secure in their jobs and vocations, but also a step toward the formal recognition of their skills, experiences, capabilities, and importance to their organizations.

The PgMP exam is significantly more challenging than the PMP exam. Here’s why:

• Program managers need to understand project management. For example, in the current standard for program management, the traditional project lifecycle is fully embedded.

• Program managers need to have more advanced understanding of business benefits, which taps into the realm of portfolio management.

• The exam itself is much more experienced based than PMP exam, and this simply memorizing inputs, outputs, tools, and techniques would not suffice.

If you want to join this rather exclusive club of about 3,000 professionals, then PgMP credential is the clear choice.
