    How to Get PgMP Certified in Ivory CoastStep-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 Ivory Coast, 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.

It is designed for senior programme managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery and transformation leaders. Fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide hold it.

    General

    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 is designed for senior programme managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery and transformation leaders. Fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide hold it.

    Is the PgMP worth it for professionals in Ivory Coast?

    Yes. With the PND 2026-2030 mobilising major investment and enterprises maturing their PMOs, certified programme leaders are in demand across telecom, banking, energy and mining. Senior roles such as Head of PMO and Programme Director command strong FCFA bands. Talk to a learning advisor about your career goals.

    Is the PgMP recognised in Ivory Coast?

    Yes. The PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential referenced in over 200 countries and valued by employers across Ivory Coast and worldwide, including telecom and fintech, banking, energy, mining and consulting organisations that run large programmes.

    Do I need PMP before the PgMP?

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

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

    The PgMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 professional development units (PDUs) across the PMI Talent Triangle, with at least 8 PDUs in each of Ways of Working, Power Skills and Business Acumen, within each three-year cycle.

    Pricing

    How much does PgMP training cost in Ivory Coast?

    PgMP training fees are quoted in FCFA and vary by format and cohort, so pricing 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 batch pricing.

    What is included in the PgMP course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, application and panel-review support, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours. Ask a learning advisor for the inclusions on your chosen plan.

    How much is the PgMP exam fee?

    For reference, PMI lists roughly USD 800 for members and USD 1,000 for non-members, though prices vary by region, so verify current fees at pmi.org. PMI membership, around USD 139 per year, lowers the exam fee and gives access to The Standard for Program Management.

    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 in Ivory Coast. Contact us for a tailored group 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. Questions span five performance domains and are delivered via Pearson VUE online proctoring or at a test centre.

    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 (240 minutes). It uses single-answer and multiple-answer multiple-choice formats.

    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%). These weights come from the current PgMP ECO, aligned to the 4th Edition of the Standard for Program Management.

    What is the PgMP panel review?

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

    What is the passing score, and can I retake the exam?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score, so no fixed percentage is published; results are reported as Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement by domain. You get up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility period, and reexamination fees apply.

    Course Content

    What topics does the PgMP training cover?

    The training covers the five PgMP performance domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, plus guidance on the application, panel review and exam strategy.

    Which standard is the training aligned to?

    The courseware is aligned to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline, so what you study reflects what the exam evaluates.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes mapped to the ECO, helping you identify weak areas and build exam readiness across all five domains.

    Do I need prior experience to take this training?

    Anyone can attend the training, but the PgMP exam requires substantial experience. PMI sets three eligibility sets combining education with project and programme management experience within the past 15 years. We help you check which set you meet.

    Will I receive a certificate of completion?

    Yes. After meeting the course requirements you receive a course completion certificate along with the contact hours earned through the programme, which also count as PDUs.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PgMP?

    PMI offers three sets. With a secondary diploma: 48 months of project management experience or an active PMP, plus 84 months of programme management experience. With a four-year degree: the same PM requirement plus 48 months of programme experience. A GAC-accredited degree reduces the programme requirement to 36 months.

    How do I enrol in the PgMP course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. See upcoming batches or talk to a learning advisor to get started.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training and customised corporate group training for teams. Each format follows the same PMI-aligned syllabus, so you can choose the option that fits your schedule and learning style.

    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 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 option. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
