    How to Get PgMP Certified in WinnipegStep-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 Winnipeg, 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

    Yes. The PgMP validates senior programme leadership and positions you for roles such as Senior Programme Manager, Head of PMO and Portfolio Director. In Winnipeg, Head of PMO roles average around C$131,000, and PgMP holders are rare, with fewer than 3,000 worldwide, which helps you stand out.

    General

    Is the PgMP certification worth it for programme leaders in Winnipeg?

    Yes. The PgMP validates senior programme leadership and positions you for roles such as Senior Programme Manager, Head of PMO and Portfolio Director. In Winnipeg, Head of PMO roles average around C$131,000, and PgMP holders are rare, with fewer than 3,000 worldwide, which helps you stand out.

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

    The Program Management Professional (PgMP) is PMI's senior credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It suits senior programme managers, PMO leaders, directors of delivery and experienced PMP holders stepping up to programme scope.

    Is PMP required before 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.

    Is the PgMP recognised internationally?

    Yes. As a PMI credential, the PgMP carries global recognition across more than 200 countries and is a benchmark for programme management excellence. It is valued by Winnipeg employers in aerospace, insurance, manufacturing and the public sector, as well as by employers worldwide.

    How long is the PgMP certification valid?

    The PgMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle within each three-year continuing certification requirements (CCR) cycle, with at least 8 PDUs in each of the three areas.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PgMP course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, an exam simulator, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, learner support and a completion certificate with contact hours. Request a quote for current pricing in Winnipeg.

    How much does the PgMP exam cost?

    PMI bills the exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, around USD 800 for members and USD 1,000 for non-members (verify current fees on the PMI store). PMI individual membership can reduce the exam fee and gives free access to the Standard for Program Management.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. The PMI exam fee is paid directly to PMI and is not part of the training fee. Your Invensis Learning fee covers instruction, courseware, practice resources and application support. Talk to a learning advisor for a full breakdown.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts for PgMP training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, transformation offices and leadership teams in Winnipeg. 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

    How long is the PgMP exam and how many questions does it have?

    The PgMP exam has 170 questions and a four-hour allotted time. It is closed book with multiple-choice formats, delivered via Pearson VUE online proctoring or at a test centre.

    What are the PgMP exam domains and their weights?

    Five performance domains: Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%). They are set by the current PgMP Examination Content Outline.

    What is the PgMP panel review?

    The panel review is a multi-rater assessment unique to PgMP. A panel of programme management practitioners evaluates your documented experience. It is a mandatory step alongside the written exam, and both must be passed to earn the credential.

    What is the passing score for the PgMP exam?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score that is not published as a fixed number. Results are reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback, so focus on broad mastery across all five domains.

    What if I do not pass the first time?

    You have up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility window from application approval. Reexamination fees apply to later attempts, and our prep resources, mock exams and trainer guidance are designed to support a confident first attempt.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the PgMP training?

    The training covers all five performance domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, plus the PMI application, panel review and exam strategy, aligned to the current Examination Content Outline.

    Which standard and edition is the training based on?

    The course is aligned to The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline (ECO) from PMI. The 4th Edition standard is the primary reference framework for the exam.

    Can a PMP holder or first-time programme leader take this?

    Yes. The course suits PMP holders moving into programme scope and experienced managers formalising programme authority. You should meet PMI's programme experience requirements to sit the exam, and we help you document that experience.

    Are practice tests, mock exams and templates included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator and downloadable templates mapped to the ECO, helping you identify weak areas and build readiness for the 170-question exam.

    Will I receive a certificate of completion after the training?

    Yes. After meeting the course requirements you receive a completion certificate along with the contact hours earned, which count as PDUs toward your PMI Talent Triangle requirements.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements to earn PgMP?

    PMI offers three sets. With a secondary diploma: 48 months of project experience (or an active PMP) plus 84 months of programme experience. With a bachelor's degree: 48 months plus 48 months. With a GAC-accredited degree: 36 months plus 36 months. All experience must fall within the past 15 years, with a panel review.
