    How to Get PgMP Certified in HobartStep-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

    PgMP (Program Management Professional) is PMI's senior credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It is designed for program managers, PMO heads, delivery directors and senior practitioners with substantial programme experience.

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

    PgMP (Program Management Professional) is PMI's senior credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It is designed for program managers, PMO heads, delivery directors and senior practitioners with substantial programme experience.

    Is the PgMP worth it and what is the career return?

    Yes. PgMP validates senior programme leadership and opens roles such as Program Manager, Head of PMO and PMO Director. In Australia these senior roles command strong salary bands, and certified programme leaders are in demand as Tasmania delivers a large infrastructure and energy pipeline.

    Why choose Invensis Learning for PgMP training in Hobart?

    Invensis Learning is a PMI Authorized Training Partner offering PMI-aligned courseware, experienced trainers, flexible delivery, and dedicated support for the PgMP application and multi-rater panel review, helping you move from learning to certification with a clear path.

    Is PgMP recognised in Hobart and internationally?

    Yes. PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential held by fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide. It is valued by employers across Tasmania and internationally, including public sector, energy, infrastructure, health and Antarctic science organisations that run large programmes.

    Do I need a PMP before taking the PgMP?

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

    Pricing

    How much does PgMP training cost in Hobart?

    PgMP training fees vary by format and schedule, and instructor-led pricing for Hobart is available on request. The PMI exam fee is billed separately in USD under regional pricing and is not part of the training fee. Request a quote for current options.

    What is included in the PgMP course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours. Talk to a learning advisor for full inclusions.

    Is the PMI exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the PgMP exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing. For reference, it is around USD 800 for PMI members and USD 1,000 for non-members; verify current fees on the PMI store, as pricing is periodically updated.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, business units and leadership teams across Tasmania. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    What payment 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 closed book with multiple-choice questions, based on the PgMP Examination Content Outline and The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition. It covers five performance domains through application, analysis and synthesis rather than pure recall.

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

    The exam has 170 questions and an allotted time of four hours. It is delivered online through Pearson VUE OnVUE proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test centre.

    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%). Program Life Cycle Management is the largest, so weight your preparation accordingly.

    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, with domain-level feedback reported as Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement, so focus on broad mastery across all five domains.

    What is the PgMP panel review and what if I do not pass first time?

    The panel review is a multi-rater assessment of your documented programme experience that you must pass alongside the written exam. You get up to three exam attempts within a one-year eligibility window; reexamination fees apply, and our prep support helps you get ready.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the PgMP training?

    The training covers the five program management performance domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, plus application guidance and exam strategy aligned to the ECO.

    Do I need prior experience to take this training?

    Anyone can attend the training, but the PgMP credential expects substantial experience. PMI requires 48 to 84 months of programme management experience depending on your education, plus project management experience or an active PMP. We help you check your eligibility.

    What learning resources and materials are provided?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the PgMP Examination Content Outline and Handbook, an overview of The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, plus templates, flashcards and chapter-wise quizzes.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes mapped to the exam domains, so you can identify weak areas and build readiness for the 170-question format.

    Is the courseware aligned with the current PgMP standard?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current PgMP Examination Content Outline and The Standard for Program Management, 4th Edition, which forms the basis of the exam.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PgMP exam?

    PMI offers three eligibility sets. With a bachelor's degree you need 48 months of project management experience or an active PMP, plus 48 months of programme management experience; with a secondary diploma the programme requirement rises to 84 months. All experience must fall within the past 15 years.

    How do I enrol in the PgMP course?

    How soon can I start and what is the refund policy?

    New batches run regularly in live online and classroom formats, so you can usually start soon after enrolling. Refunds and cancellations follow our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back guarantee. Talk to an advisor for dates that suit you.
