Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

The PgMP is PMI's advanced credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as a coordinated program to deliver strategic organizational benefits. It is designed for senior program managers, PMP holders moving up, and PMO leaders with substantial program experience.

General

What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

Is PMP required before PgMP?

No. A PMP is not a mandatory prerequisite for the PgMP. However, an active PMP satisfies the project management experience requirement across all three eligibility sets, so PMP holders only need to document their program management experience.

How exclusive is the PgMP credential?

Fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide hold the PgMP, making it one of PMI's most exclusive certifications. That rarity is exactly why it stands out on a senior resume in a competitive market like San Francisco.

Is the PgMP recognized in San Francisco?

Yes. The PgMP is a globally recognized PMI credential valued by San Francisco employers across technology, financial services, healthcare and consulting, and by senior employers in over 200 countries worldwide.

How long is the PgMP valid and how do I renew it?

The PgMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle, with a minimum of 8 PDUs in each area, within each three-year continuing certification requirements cycle.

Pricing

How much does PgMP training cost in San Francisco?

PgMP training fees in San Francisco vary by format, such as live online or corporate group delivery, and by the resources included. Exact pricing is available on request. Talk to a learning advisor or request a quote for the current schedule.

What is included in the PgMP course fee?

The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, exam simulator access, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours.

How much is the PgMP exam fee?

PMI bills the exam fee separately in USD. For reference, it is around USD 800 for PMI members and USD 1,000 for non-members; verify current figures on PMI.org. PMI membership, about USD 139 per year, lowers the exam fee and provides the standard reference.

Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customized schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, business units and leadership teams. Contact us for a tailored quote for your San Francisco team.

What payment options are available?

We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer installment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

Exam

What is the format of the PgMP exam?

The PgMP exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination based on the PgMP Examination Content Outline and The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition. It uses scenario-based questions across five performance domains.

How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

The PgMP exam has 170 questions and a four-hour (240-minute) allotted time. It is delivered online through Pearson VUE OnVUE proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test center.

What are the PgMP exam domains and their weights?

Five domains: Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%). The program life cycle domain carries the most weight.

What is the PgMP panel review?

The panel review is a multi-rater assessment unique to the PgMP. A panel of program management practitioners evaluates your documented experience. It is mandatory in addition to the written exam, and both must be passed to earn the credential.

What if I do not pass the exam the first time?

You get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period from application approval. Reexamination fees apply to the second and third attempts, and our prep resources and mock exams are designed to help you pass sooner.

Course Content

What topics are covered in the PgMP training?

The training covers the five PgMP performance domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, plus application, panel-review and exam strategy.

Which standard is the training based on?

The courseware is aligned to the PgMP Examination Content Outline and The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, PMI's primary reference for the credential, so your preparation matches what the exam actually tests.

Are practice tests and mock exams included?

Yes. The program includes 1000+ practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator and topic-wise quizzes to help you identify weak areas and build readiness for the four-hour exam.

Do I need prior experience to attend the training?

Anyone can attend the training. To sit the exam, PMI requires substantial experience: for example, a four-year degree plus 48 months of project management experience (or an active PMP) and 48 months of program management experience within the last 15 years.
