    What Is the PgMP Certification?PMI's Expert Programme Credential

    The Program Management Professional (PgMP) is PMI's expert-level credential for professionals who coordinate multiple related projects as a single programme to deliver strategic benefits that separate projects could not achieve alone. Invensis Learning's PgMP certification training in Accra prepares senior practitioners to lead at this level and to earn a credential that fewer than 3,000 professionals hold worldwide. The course is aligned to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the PgMP Examination Content Outline (ECO), covering the five performance domains the exam tests: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance. You also get structured guidance on the PgMP application and the multi-rater panel review, both of which sit alongside the written exam. Delivered in live virtual and corporate formats, the training suits programme managers, PMO leaders and senior delivery professionals across Accra's mining, energy, banking, telecom and public-sector organisations. With application support, practice questions and mock exams, you move from learning to certification on a clear, supported path.

    How to Get PgMP Certified in AccraStep-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 Accra, 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.

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

    The PgMP is PMI's expert-level credential for professionals who coordinate multiple related projects as a single programme to deliver strategic benefits. It is designed for programme managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery and senior practitioners with substantial programme experience.

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

    The PgMP is PMI's expert-level credential for professionals who coordinate multiple related projects as a single programme to deliver strategic benefits. It is designed for programme managers, PMO heads, directors of delivery and senior practitioners with substantial programme experience.

    Is the PgMP worth it for professionals in Accra?

    Yes. The PgMP is one of PMI's most exclusive credentials, held by fewer than 3,000 professionals worldwide, and it is valued by Accra's mining, energy, banking, telecom and public-sector employers. Senior programme roles in Ghana command strong salary bands, so the credential supports both recognition and earning potential.

    Is the PMP required 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 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle within each three-year continuing certification requirements (CCR) cycle, with a minimum of 8 PDUs in each area.

    Is the PgMP recognised in Ghana and internationally?

    Yes. The PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential valued by employers across Ghana and worldwide. As one of PMI's rarest certifications, it acts as a distinctive marker of senior programme management capability.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PgMP training fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, 24 contact hours of instructor-led training, practice questions, mock exams, downloadable templates, application and panel-review guidance, and learner support with a completion certificate. Request a quote to see current inclusions.

    How much does PgMP training cost in Accra?

    PgMP training in Accra is quoted locally and is available on request, as pricing varies by format and cohort. The PMI exam fee is billed separately in USD under regional pricing. Talk to a learning advisor for a tailored quote.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the PgMP exam fee separately in USD. For reference, it is around USD 800 for PMI members and USD 1,000 for non-members, though prices vary, so confirm the current fee on pmi.org before applying.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing for PgMP training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, business units and leadership teams in Accra and beyond. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment methods 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 uses scenario-based questions across five performance domains and is delivered online 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 is a closed-book, multiple-choice assessment covering all five programme management performance domains.

    What is the passing score for the PgMP exam?

    PMI does not publish a fixed percentage pass mark. Results are determined through psychometric analysis and reported as Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement per domain, so aim for broad mastery across all five domains.

    What happens if I do not pass the first time?

    PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Reexamination fees apply to the second and third attempts, and our preparation resources and trainer support are designed to help you build readiness before you sit.

    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. It must be passed alongside the written exam to earn the credential, and our training includes guidance to prepare for it.

    Course Content

    What topics does the PgMP training cover?

    The training covers the five PgMP performance domains: Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%), plus application preparation and exam strategy.

    Which standard and edition is the course based on?

    The course is aligned to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline. The Fourth Edition standard and the ECO together define the five domains the exam tests.

    Are practice questions and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes mapped to the PgMP Examination Content Outline, so you can identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Do I need prior experience to take the training?

    Anyone can attend the training, but the PgMP is a senior credential. To sit the exam, PMI requires substantial project and programme management experience under one of three eligibility sets. Our advisors can help you check where you stand.

    Will I receive a certificate of completion after the training?

    Yes. After meeting the course requirements you receive a course completion certificate along with the 24 contact hours earned through the programme, which support your PgMP application.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements to sit the PgMP exam?

    PMI defines three sets. With a secondary diploma you need 48 months of project management experience (or an active PMP) plus 84 months of programme experience. With a four-year degree you need 48 months of each; with a GAC-accredited degree, 36 months of each. All within the past 15 years.

    How do I enrol in the PgMP course in Accra?
