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

    PgMP (Program Management Professional) is PMI's senior credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It suits senior programme managers, PMP holders stepping up, PMO leaders and transformation leads with substantial experience.

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

    PgMP (Program Management Professional) is PMI's senior credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It suits senior programme managers, PMP holders stepping up, PMO leaders and transformation leads with substantial experience.

    Is the PgMP worth it for my career in Chennai?

    Yes. PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential held by fewer than 3,000 professionals worldwide, which makes holders rare and sought-after. In Chennai, senior programme roles across IT services, GCCs, automotive and BFSI value it, with senior programme managers averaging around 31 lakh a year. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Is PMP required before PgMP?

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

    How is PgMP different from PMP?

    PMP validates managing individual projects, while PgMP validates managing multiple related projects as a programme to deliver strategic benefits that separate projects cannot. PgMP is a more senior credential with tougher prerequisites and an added panel review.

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

    PgMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle, with at least 8 PDUs in each area, within every three-year continuing certification requirements (CCR) cycle.

    What is the PgMP panel review?

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

    Pricing

    How much does PgMP training cost in Chennai?

    Instructor-led PgMP training in Chennai varies by format and provider, and full 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, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours. Contact us for a detailed inclusions list.

    Is the PMI exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the PgMP exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, around USD 800 for members and USD 1,000 for non-members. Verify current fees at pmi.org, as PMI updates pricing periodically, and note that membership can reduce the exam cost.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs and leadership teams in Chennai. Ask about corporate pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment 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. It covers five performance domains through scenario-based questions.

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

    The exam has 170 questions and a four-hour (240-minute) time limit. It is delivered online through Pearson VUE OnVUE proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test centre.

    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%). Program Life Cycle Management is by far the largest.

    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 by domain as Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement, so aim for broad mastery across all five domains.

    How many attempts do I get, and can I retake it?

    You get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period from application approval. Reexamination fees apply to the second and third attempts; confirm the current amounts on the PMI store.

    Where can I take the PgMP exam in Chennai?

    You can sit the exam at a Pearson VUE test centre in Chennai or take it from home or office via OnVUE online proctoring, once your application is approved and you have cleared the panel review.

    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 the application, panel review and exam strategy.

    Do I need prior experience to take this training?

    You can enrol in the training at any level, but the PgMP credential itself requires substantial experience. PMI expects documented project and programme management experience, so the course best suits senior practitioners preparing to certify.

    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 Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, templates, flashcards and chapter-wise quizzes.

    Are mock exams and practice questions included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams mapped to the 170-question format, so you can find weak areas and build exam readiness before the real thing.

    Is the courseware aligned with the current PgMP syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current PgMP Examination Content Outline and The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, PMI's foundational reference for the exam.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements to earn PgMP?

    PMI offers three eligibility sets. With a four-year degree you need 48 months of project management experience or an active PMP, plus 48 months of programme management experience within the past 15 years. A secondary degree requires 84 months of programme experience, and a panel review applies to all.

    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. A learning advisor can help you get started.

    What training formats are available in Chennai?

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

    How soon can I start the PgMP training?

    New batches run regularly in live virtual and classroom formats. See upcoming schedules or speak with a learning advisor to find the next batch that suits you.

    Can I reschedule or transfer to another batch?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans include a Flexi Pass to attend twice. Contact support to arrange this.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations follow our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back guarantee. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
