    How to Get PgMP Certified in ParisStep-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

    Step 3: Document Program Management Experience for Panel Review

    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

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

    PgMP is PMI's senior programme management credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It is designed for senior programme managers, PMO leaders, transformation directors and directors of delivery. Fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide hold it.

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

    PgMP is PMI's senior programme management credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It is designed for senior programme managers, PMO leaders, transformation directors and directors of delivery. Fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide hold it.

    Is the PgMP worth it for programme managers in Paris?

    Yes. Senior programme roles in Paris average around 89,000 euros, and PgMP holders report a 10 to 25 percent premium over PMP-only peers. The credential is valued by banks, consultancies, aerospace and technology employers running large programmes. Talk to a learning advisor to map it to your goals.

    Is PMP required before PgMP?

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

    How long is the PgMP valid and how do I renew it?

    The PgMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle, with a minimum of 8 PDUs in each of Ways of Working, Power Skills and Business Acumen, reported through PMI's CCR system.

    Which standard is the PgMP exam based on?

    The PgMP is based on the PgMP Examination Content Outline and aligned to The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition. Our courseware follows the current ECO and the 4th Edition standard so your preparation matches what PMI tests.

    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 completion certificate with contact hours. The PMI exam fee is billed separately. Request a quote for full details.

    How much does PgMP training cost in Paris?

    PgMP training fees vary by format and are available on request; live virtual, classroom and corporate options are priced differently. The PMI exam fee is billed separately in USD under regional pricing. Contact a learning advisor for a tailored quote.

    How much is the PgMP exam fee?

    For reference, the PgMP exam is around USD 800 for PMI members and USD 1,000 for non-members; verify current fees at pmi.org. PMI membership, roughly USD 139 per year, reduces the exam cost and gives free 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, transformation functions and leadership teams across Paris. Ask about corporate and 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 if I do not pass the PgMP exam the first time?

    You have up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Re-examination fees apply to the second and third attempts. Our mock exams, simulator and trainer guidance are built to support a confident first-time pass.

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

    The PgMP exam has 170 questions and a four-hour (240-minute) allotted time. It is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination delivered online 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%). Program Life Cycle Management is the largest area of the exam.

    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: Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement. Focus on broad mastery across all five domains.

    Where can I take the PgMP exam in Paris?

    You can sit the exam online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctoring, or at a Pearson VUE test centre in Paris or elsewhere in France, scheduled within your one-year eligibility period.

    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 must be passed alongside the written exam to earn the credential.

    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.

    Do I need prior experience to take this training?

    Anyone can attend the training, but to earn the PgMP, PMI requires substantial experience. We help you check your eligibility against PMI's three sets and document your programme management hours before you apply.

    What are the PgMP eligibility requirements?

    There are 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: 48 months of project experience (or PMP) plus 48 months of programme experience. A GAC-accredited degree reduces this to 36 months. All within the past 15 years.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest PgMP syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current PgMP Examination Content Outline and The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, so your study reflects the standard PMI tests today.

    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 4th Edition standard, templates, flashcards, chapter-wise quizzes, 1000+ practice questions and full-length mock exams.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website and choose from regular live virtual, classroom and self-paced batches. Once enrolled, you receive access to schedules, courseware and resources. See upcoming schedules or talk to a learning advisor to begin.

    What training formats are available?

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

    How many contact hours does the PgMP training provide?

    The instructor-led programme provides 24 contact hours of training as exam preparation and knowledge consolidation. PgMP has no mandatory contact-hour prerequisite, so these hours support your readiness rather than fulfilling an entry rule.

    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.
