Program Management Professional for PgMP®

Overview

As a program manager, you’re a senior-level practitioner on the forefront of advancing your organization’s strategic goals. You manage multiple, related projects in a coordinated way, achieving benefits that could not occur if the projects were handled separately. Your leadership is instrumental. With program management maturity, an organization’s projects are far more successful than without it — 76 percent compared to 54 percent according to our 2015 Pulse of the Profession® report. The Program Management Professional (PgMP)® is a visible sign of your advanced experience and skill and gives you a distinct advantage in employment and promotion.

This course provides a comprehensive preparation for the Program Management Professional (PgMP)® certification exam including exam-taking tips, comprehensive module quizzes, and over 200 practice questions covering the areas of knowledge as described in PMI's Program Management Professional Exam Content Specification. After successful completion, you will receive 25 PDUs/contact hours to qualify to take the PMI® Program Management Professional® Exam. Successful completion means completing all assignments in the course, and scoring a minimum of 70% on the second practice test. Learners should have some experience in project management and will need to have access to the Project Management Institute's® A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), Sixth Edition.
