Program Management Professional (PgMP®)

Designed for senior managers committed to reaching the overall strategic goals of their organization.

Show decisive leadership.

The PgMP® program is designed for experienced professionals, capable of or responsible for managing several complex interrelated projects (interdepartmental, interregional or international) to fulfill the strategic goals of an organization.

The PgMP® program is evidence of a very high level of experience and comprehensive skills that distinguish those with this credential within their company as well as their industry.

Why get the PgMP® certification?

In the age of The Project Economy and the globalization of markets, the PgMP® program illustrates your ability to implement an integrated approach, which produces results that are significantly superior to those obtained through simple silo management.

Eligibility

The PgMP® certification is designed for accomplished professionals who want to demonstrate their high level of expertise.

To be eligible for the exam, you must meet one of the two following requirements:

1. High school diploma (DES), the CAPM® certification or global equivalent, 6,000 hours of experience in project management, and 10,500 hours of experience in program management.

2. Four-year degree, 6,000 hours of experience in project management, and 6,000 hours of experience in program management.

The exam is held in a Pearson Vue centre.

The cost of the exam is US$800 for members and US$1,000 for non-members.

 

Exam Availability

Please note that the exam, whether taken online or in person, is temporarily unavailable in Quebec. To take the exam, candidates must travel to a Pearson VUE test center located in Ottawa or Vermont.

This situation results from a change in the exam provider due to the French language law and is beyond our control. PMI has indicated that French-language versions of the exam will be made available again in the near future.

Am I eligible?

To confirm your eligibility for the exam, you must submit an application detailing your professional experience in project management. Visit the PMI Global information page for more details.
