    How to Get PgMP Certified in KyotoStep-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 Kyoto, 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.

    Exam

    How long is the PgMP exam and how many questions?

    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 online proctoring or at a test centre.

    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 are the PgMP exam domains and their weights?

    The exam covers five performance domains: Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%), all aligned to the PgMP Examination Content Outline.

    What is the passing score for the PgMP exam?

    PMI does not publish a fixed percentage pass mark. The result is determined through psychometric analysis, with domain-level feedback reported as Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement. Focus on broad mastery across all five domains.

    What if I do not pass the exam, can I retake it?

    Yes. PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Our prep support, mock exams and simulator are designed to help you build readiness and reduce the fear of a first-time attempt.

    Where can I take the PgMP exam in Japan?

    You can take the PgMP exam via Pearson VUE OnVUE online proctoring from home or office, or at a Pearson VUE test centre available in major cities across Japan, once your application is approved and you clear the panel review.

    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 programme finances, risk, resources, and application and exam strategy.

    Which standard and edition is the training based on?

    The training is aligned to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline. The fourth edition is the primary reference framework used throughout the programme.

    Are mock exams and practice questions included?

    Yes. The programme includes 1000+ practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator and topic-wise quizzes mapped to the exam content outline, so you can identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Can I take this training if I already hold PMP?

    Yes, and it is a natural next step. PMP holders often move into programme roles, and an active PMP satisfies the project management experience requirement for the PgMP, so the training focuses on programme-level governance, benefits and stakeholder skills.

    Will I receive a certificate after the training?

    Yes. After meeting the course requirements you receive a course completion certificate along with the contact hours (PDUs) earned through the programme, which also count toward maintaining PMI credentials.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PgMP?

    PMI has three eligibility 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 of each. All experience must fall within the past 15 years.

    How do I enrol in the PgMP course?
