    How to Get PgMP Certified in LeedsStep-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 Leeds, 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

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

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

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

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

    Is the PgMP worth it for programme managers in Leeds?

    Yes. In Leeds, senior programme roles such as Head of PMO and Programme Director command strong salary bands, and financial services, digital and NHS employers value the credential. Fewer than 3,000 professionals worldwide hold the PgMP, so it is a distinctive differentiator.

    Is the PgMP recognised in Leeds and the UK?

    Yes. As a PMI credential, the PgMP carries global recognition across more than 200 countries and is valued by leading Leeds and UK employers in financial services, digital, healthcare, consulting and the public sector.

    What are the prerequisites for the PgMP?

    PMI sets three requirement sets. With a secondary diploma you need 48 months of project management experience or PMP plus 84 months of programme experience; with a four-year degree you need 48 months plus 48 months. All experience must fall within the past 15 years.

    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 across the PMI Talent Triangle within each three-year continuing certification requirements cycle, with a minimum of 8 PDUs in each of the three areas.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PgMP training fee in Leeds?

    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. The PMI exam fee is billed separately. Request a quote for a full breakdown.

    How much does PgMP training cost in Leeds?

    PgMP training fees vary by format and schedule, so pricing is available on request. Talk to a learning advisor for current Leeds batch prices and any group or corporate discounts.

    Is the PMI exam fee included in the course price?

    No. PMI bills the PgMP exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, referenced at around USD 800 for members and USD 1,000 for non-members. Membership can lower the exam fee, so confirm current figures on pmi.org before applying.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts for PgMP training?

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

    What payment 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 is delivered via Pearson VUE OnVUE online proctoring or at a test centre.

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

    The PgMP exam has 170 questions and an allotted time of four hours. Results are reported with domain-level feedback of Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement rather than a fixed percentage.

    What are the PgMP exam domains and their weights?

    There are five performance domains: Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%).

    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 happens if I do not pass the exam first time?

    PMI permits up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility window from application approval. Re-examination fees apply to the second and third attempts, and our preparation resources and trainer support help you get ready to pass.

    What is the passing score for the PgMP exam?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing standard and does not publish a fixed numeric pass mark. Results are reported as pass or fail with domain-level performance feedback, so aim for broad mastery across all five domains.

    Course Content

    What topics does the PgMP training cover?

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

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest standard?

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

    Are practice questions and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and scenario-based exercises mapped to the PgMP Examination Content Outline to help you identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Do I need prior experience to take the training?

    Anyone can attend the training, but the PgMP credential is a senior one. To sit the exam PMI requires substantial project and programme management experience, so the course is designed for experienced practitioners and PMP holders moving into programme roles.

    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 support your PMI application and PDU record.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?
