Preparing for PgMP®

(Program Management Professional)

The Project Management Institute (PMI®) sponsors a Program Management Credentialing Program. The purpose and goal of this is the development, maintenance, evaluation, promotion, and administration of a rigorous education, experience and examination-based, professional certification credential of the highest calibre. It is called the Program Management Professional (PgMP®).

The PgMP® Credential Program supports the international community of Program Management Professionals and is designed to objectively assess and measure professional knowledge.

Preparing for PgMP® gives you the foundation, knowledge, techniques and tools to be fully prepared for the PgMP® exam. This is a course that is based on the PMI® Program Management Body of Knowledge with hand-on exercises of program management best practice and typical exam styled questions.

The course is broken into the following areas:

Topic 1: Application and Eligibility Requirements
Topic 2: Defining Program Management and Related Concepts
Topic 3: Program Management Life Cycle
Topic 4: Program Planning
Topic 5: Program Reporting
Topic 6: Program Financial Management
Topic 7: Evaluating the program
Topic 8: Executing the Program
Topic 9: Controlling the Program
Topic 10: Closing the Program

These sessions cover each program management knowledge area, to provide participants with ‘a-need-to-know’ for the PgMP® exam.

With each session there is a mock exam which is a paper based exam that allows participants to understand performance when answering specific exam-type questions. It also provides a guide on what areas need to be addressed prior to the exam itself.

This is an exam preparation course that is beneficial for those who are planning to undergo the PgMP® exam. However, it may also be of particular benefit to those who have been extensively working in programs and want to understand ‘best practice’ program management with a view to undertaking the exam in the near future.

Participants achieve the following learning outcomes from the programme;
