Program Management Professional Certification Course

Overview:

The course is ideal for anyone preparing to sit the Program Management Professional (PgMP) exam and enrich their knowledge in program management.

Through practical exercises and practice exams, participants will focus on key concepts, terms, and principles necessary for successfully passing the PgMP exam. 

After our training, you will have all the knowledge and tools needed to take the next step in your career. 

As a program manager, you’re a senior-level practitioner at 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.
