    How to Get PgMP Certified in AthensStep-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.

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

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

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

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

    Is the PgMP recognised by employers in Athens?

    Yes. The PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential valued by employers across Athens and worldwide, including banks, shipping and energy groups, consultancies and IT firms that run large, strategy-critical programmes.

    What standard is the PgMP based on?

    The credential is grounded in The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the PgMP Examination Content Outline, both published by PMI. The exam covers five programme management performance domains.

    Do I need a PMP before taking the PgMP?

    No. A PMP is not a mandatory prerequisite. 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.

    Is the PgMP worth it for my career?

    Yes, for senior practitioners. In Athens, Program Manager roles average around 57,500 euros with senior bands far higher, and the PgMP marks you as one of fewer than 3,000 holders worldwide. Talk to a learning advisor about your path.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PgMP training fee?

    The fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, 24 contact hours of instruction, application and panel-review support, and a course completion certificate. Request a quote for current pricing.

    How much does the PgMP exam cost?

    PMI bills the exam separately in USD under regional pricing. For reference only, it is around USD 800 for members and USD 1,000 for non-members; verify current fees at pmi.org. Membership of about USD 139 a year reduces the exam cost.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. The PMI exam fee is billed separately by PMI and is not part of the training fee. We can guide you through PMI membership and the application so you manage both costs clearly.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, transformation offices and leadership teams in Athens. Contact us 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 many questions are on the PgMP exam?

    The PgMP exam has 170 questions and a four-hour (240-minute) allotted time. It is closed book and uses multiple-choice question formats, delivered via Pearson VUE.

    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%). The life cycle domain carries the greatest weight.

    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. You must pass both the panel review and the written exam to earn the credential.

    Where can I take the PgMP exam?

    You can sit it online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctored system or at a Pearson VUE test centre. Scheduling is done through PMI's portal or the Pearson VUE website within your eligibility period.

    How many attempts do I get, and what is the passing score?

    You have up to three attempts within a one-year eligibility window. PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score with no fixed number; results are reported with domain-level feedback, so aim for broad mastery.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the PgMP training?

    You will learn to align programmes to strategy, manage the full programme life cycle, plan and realise benefits, engage stakeholders and govern programmes, covering all five performance domains plus application and panel-review preparation.

    Do I need prior experience to attend the training?

    Anyone can attend the training to build knowledge and earn contact hours. To sit the exam, PMI requires substantial project and programme management experience. Our team will help you check your eligibility.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams mapped to the PgMP Examination Content Outline, helping you identify weak areas and build readiness for the four-hour exam.

    Is the courseware aligned with 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 against the material PMI actually tests.

    How many contact hours does the training provide?

    The instructor-led training provides 24 contact hours of programme management instruction. These consolidate your knowledge and support exam preparation for candidates who already meet the experience requirements.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PgMP?

    PMI offers three sets: with a secondary diploma you need four years of project experience (or a PMP) plus seven years of programme experience; with a degree the programme requirement drops to four years, all within the last 15 years, plus a panel review.
