    How to Get PgMP Certified in AustriaStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The path to Online PgMP certification is designed for experienced program leaders managing multiple related projects aligned to strategic business objectives. The certification process includes eligibility verification, PMI application review, peer-panel assessment, and the final certification examination.

    Step 1: Confirm PgMP Eligibility

    Verify you meet one of the three eligibility sets (Set A / Set B / Set C) , secondary diploma OR bachelor's degree OR GAC-accredited bachelor's, plus 48/48/36 months of project management (or PMP) experience plus 84/48/36 months of program management experience within the past 15 years.

    Step 2: Enrol in PgMP Training

    Choose your preferred Invensis Learning PgMP cohort (3-Day Live Online Bootcamp, E-Learning, or Corporate Group Training). On enrolment you receive PMI-aligned PgMP courseware, panel-submission templates, scenario mock-exam material, and the 24 contact hours you need for your PMI application.

    Step 3: Document Program Management Experience for Panel Review

    Compile your program management experience submission to PMI's evaluation standard: programs led, components managed, governance forums chaired, benefits delivered. Invensis Learning's submission templates and reviewer feedback help you avoid the common rejection patterns PMI flags.

    Step 4: Submit the PgMP Application to PMI

    Submit your application via the PMI candidate portal. PMI performs an initial review, then forwards the experience submission to the peer panel for evaluation. The panel-review window typically runs 60-90 days. Pay the PgMP application/exam fee: ~$800 (PMI member) or ~$1,000 (non-member).

    Step 5: Sit the 170-Question PgMP Exam via Pearson VUE

    After panel approval you receive a one-year exam eligibility window. Book your PgMP exam through Pearson VUE , online proctored from your home or office in Austria, or at a Pearson VUE test centre. The exam is 170 scenario-based multiple-choice questions over 240 minutes.

    Step 6: Earn the PgMP Credential and Plan CCR Renewal

    On passing, PMI issues your PgMP digital badge and certificate. The credential is valid for three years; renew via PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) programme by earning 60 PDUs across the 3-year cycle in program-relevant content.

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

    The PgMP (Program Management Professional) is PMI's expert-level credential for senior professionals who manage multiple related projects as a coordinated programme to achieve strategic benefits. It suits programme managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery and transformation leaders with substantial programme experience.

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

    The PgMP (Program Management Professional) is PMI's expert-level credential for senior professionals who manage multiple related projects as a coordinated programme to achieve strategic benefits. It suits programme managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery and transformation leaders with substantial programme experience.

    Is the PgMP worth it for programme managers in Austria?

    Yes. With fewer than 3,000 holders worldwide, the PgMP is a rare senior credential recognised by Austrian banking, energy, manufacturing and consulting employers, and senior programme roles in Austria command strong salary bands. Talk to a learning advisor to map it to your goals.

    How is the PgMP different from the PMP?

    The PMP validates project management, while the PgMP sits a level above. It validates your ability to manage multiple related projects as a single programme, focusing on strategy, governance, stakeholders and benefits rather than a single project.

    Is the PgMP recognised in Austria?

    Yes. The PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential valued across Vienna and Austria by employers in banking, insurance, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure and consulting that run large project portfolios and programmes.

    How long is the PgMP valid and how is it renewed?

    The PgMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs (Professional Development Units) within each three-year continuing certification requirements cycle, distributed across the PMI Talent Triangle.

    Do I need to be a PMP before taking the PgMP?

    No, the PMP is not mandatory. However, an active PMP can satisfy the project management experience requirement across all three PgMP eligibility sets. You still need separate programme management experience and a degree or secondary education.

    Pricing

    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. Request a quote for the full inclusions.

    How much does PgMP training cost in Austria?

    PgMP training in Austria is quoted in euros and is available on request, as the fee varies by format and schedule. The PMI exam fee is billed separately. Contact us for current pricing and upcoming batches.

    Is the PMI exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the PgMP exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, and it is not part of the training fee. PMI members pay a lower exam fee than non-members, so membership can offset its own cost.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing in Austria?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, business units and leadership teams across Austria. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment methods and instalment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment 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, and is taken in addition to the panel review.

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

    The PgMP exam has 170 questions and you have four hours (240 minutes) to complete it. The questions are distributed across the five performance domains, with programme life cycle management carrying the largest weight.

    What is the PgMP panel review?

    The panel review is a multi-rater assessment in which a panel of programme management practitioners evaluates your documented programme experience. You must pass both the panel review and the written exam to earn the PgMP.

    What is the passing score for the PgMP exam?

    PMI does not publish a fixed percentage pass mark. The result is determined through psychometric analysis and reported by domain, so focus on broad mastery across all five performance domains rather than a single target number.

    How many attempts do I get and how do I schedule the exam?

    You may take the exam up to three times within your one-year eligibility period. Once your application and panel review are approved, schedule the exam through Pearson VUE, either at a test centre in Austria or via OnVUE online proctoring.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the PgMP training?

    The training covers the five PgMP performance domains: strategic programme management (11%), programme life cycle management (44%), benefits management (11%), stakeholder engagement (16%) and governance (18%), plus application and exam strategy.

    Do I need prior experience to take this training?

    Anyone can attend the training, but the PgMP credential itself requires senior experience. To sit the exam, PMI requires a degree or secondary education plus several years of project and programme management experience, which our advisors can help you assess.

    What learning resources and materials are provided?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the PgMP Examination Content Outline and Handbook, a Standard for Program Management overview, templates, flashcards and chapter-wise quizzes to support your preparation.

    Are there mock exams and practice questions included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator and topic-wise quizzes that help you identify weak areas and build readiness for the scenario-based exam.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest PgMP standard?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline, so you prepare against the criteria PMI actually tests.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol in the PgMP course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website by choosing your preferred format and completing payment, after which you receive access to schedules, courseware and resources. See upcoming batches or talk to an advisor to start soon.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer live virtual classroom training, self-paced e-learning, onsite classroom training and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and learning style.

    What are the eligibility requirements to earn the PgMP?

    PMI requires a degree or secondary education plus project management experience (or an active PMP) and several years of programme management experience within the last 15 years, along with a successful panel review. The exact months depend on your education path.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my enrolment to another batch?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans include a Flexi Pass to attend the training twice. Contact support to arrange this.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled per our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back guarantee. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
