What does a PgMP training course cover?
PgMP training focuses on the advanced skills and knowledge required to manage multiple, related projects (a program) to achieve strategic and organizational benefits. Courses cover topics like strategic program management, program lifecycle management (initiating, planning, executing, controlling, closing), benefits management, stakeholder engagement, and program governance. They often use case studies and real-world scenarios.
  • While a training course itself doesn’t directly fulfill a mandatory contact hour requirement like the PMP, it is crucial for preparing for the rigorous PgMP exam. Some Authorized Training Partners (ATPs) may offer courses that align with PMI’s standards and can help in understanding the Standard for Program Management.
Materials typically include course workbooks, access to online resources, practice questions aligned with the PgMP exam content outline, case studies, and potentially templates for program management artifacts. Some courses might also recommend or include access to the Standard for Program Management.
No, the PgMP exam fee is a separate cost paid directly to PMI after your application is approved.
Given the advanced nature of the PgMP, courses are often more intensive and can range from 3-5 days of live instruction (in-person or virtual) to more extended online programs with self-paced modules and live sessions.
