    How to Get PgMP Certified in YokohamaStep-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 Yokohama, 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.

    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 Pearson VUE 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. Results are reported with domain-level feedback (Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement) rather than a fixed percentage score.

    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%). Together they make up the full 170-question exam.

    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 mandatory in addition to the written exam, and both must be passed to earn the credential.

    What if I do not pass the exam the first time?

    PMI permits up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility period from application approval. Reexamination fees apply to later attempts. Our mock exams, domain-wise practice and trainer guidance are designed to build your readiness before exam day.

    Course Content

    The training covers the five PgMP performance domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, plus application, panel-review and exam strategy aligned to the current PgMP Examination Content Outline.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    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 under one of three eligibility sets. Our trainers help you assess your experience and document it for the application.

    What standard is the courseware aligned to?

    The courseware is aligned to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline. This keeps your preparation consistent with the five performance domains PMI tests in the exam.

    What learning resources are provided?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the PgMP Examination Content Outline and Handbook, a Standard for Program Management overview, practice questions, mock exams, and domain-wise quizzes to support revision and exam readiness.

    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 also count toward your PgMP preparation.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PgMP exam?

    PMI offers three sets. With a secondary diploma: 48 months of project management experience (or an active PMP) plus 84 months of programme experience. With a four-year degree: 48 months plus 48 months. A GAC-accredited degree reduces both thresholds to 36 months. All experience must fall within the past 15 years.
