Course spotlight — PMI Program Management Professional® (PgMP®)

If you're an experienced Project or Program Manager, you may consider attesting your skills by achieving the PMI Program Management Professional® certification, also known as PgMP®. 

What does this certification entail? Could it be right for you?

Let's dive in.

What is PMI PgMP®?

Developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI), a top professional association based in the United States, PgMP® is aimed at seasoned Project and Program Management professionals who can manage multiple projects and navigate complex activities spanning functions, organisations, regions, and cultures.

This comprehensive course covers PMI’s Program Management framework, from Strategic Programme Management and Initiating, planning and executing a programme to Transition plan execution and programme closing. Achieving this certification attests that you have the skills and knowledge you need to handle complex projects.

Who is PgMP® for?

To apply for the PgMP® certification, you need to have at least four years of Project and Program Management experience within the last 15 years. If you cannot meet these eligibility requirements, consider taking the Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification first, also developed by PMI. Achieving the PMP® will also help waive part of your prerequisites.
