Overview
Prove your ability to oversee and manage simultaneous projects and their resources on this globally recognised PMI PgMP® course. You’ll gain advanced program management knowledge and become more effective in the implementation of multiple projects.
Learn how to efficiently group projects to achieve more organisational success than if they were managed separately.
Define, create and manage successful programmes
You’ll cover PMI’s model for programme management practices - a framework that concisely and comprehensively describes programme management regardless of business, industry or size of organisation.
On this PgMP course you’ll learn:
- Strategic programme management
- Initiating, planning and executing a programme
- Controlling and monitoring programme processes
- Transition plan execution and programme closing

- Our PgMP course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
- Pass PgMP first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs

"Phenomenal teacher; his knowledge and interactive activities truly helped with my learning. His way of breaking down the information into something was indispensable to my learning. He went out of his way to research materials and questions as well as created his own in order to help facilitate learning."
