    How to Get PgMP Certified in KazakhstanStep-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.

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

    Yes. The PgMP validates expert-level programme leadership and positions you for roles such as Programme Manager, Head of PMO and Programme Director. In Kazakhstan these senior roles command strong salary bands, and certified leaders are in demand as energy, banking and public-sector organisations run large, strategy-critical programmes.

    General

    Is the PgMP worth it for senior professionals in Kazakhstan?

    Yes. The PgMP validates expert-level programme leadership and positions you for roles such as Programme Manager, Head of PMO and Programme Director. In Kazakhstan these senior roles command strong salary bands, and certified leaders are in demand as energy, banking and public-sector organisations run large, strategy-critical programmes.

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

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

    Is PMP required before the PgMP?

    No, 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 recognised in Kazakhstan?

    Yes. The PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential valued by employers across Kazakhstan and worldwide, including oil and gas, banking, mining and public-sector organisations. Held by fewer than 3,000 practitioners globally, it is a distinctive differentiator.

    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, with at least 8 PDUs in each area, within every three-year continuing certification requirements cycle.

    Pricing

    How much does PgMP training cost in Kazakhstan?

    Training fees vary by format and are available on request in local pricing. The fee typically covers PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, and application and panel-review support. Request a quote or speak with a learning advisor for current options.

    What is included in the PgMP course fee?

    The fee usually includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, an exam simulator, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, referenced at around USD 800 for members and USD 1,000 for non-members. PMI membership, around USD 139 per year, reduces the exam fee and gives free access to The Standard for Program Management.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, business units and leadership teams across Kazakhstan. Contact us for a tailored quote for your team.

    What payment and instalment options are available?

    We accept major 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 if I do not pass the PgMP exam first time?

    PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period, and our training includes mock exams, scenario practice and revision support to prepare you thoroughly. Re-examination fees apply to the second and third attempts; confirm current amounts on PMI.org.

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

    The PgMP exam has 170 questions and a four-hour (240-minute) allotted time. It is closed book with multiple-choice question formats, delivered online proctored via Pearson VUE OnVUE or at a Pearson VUE test centre.

    What are the PgMP exam domains and their weights?

    Five performance domains: Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%). The largest weighting sits with the programme life cycle.

    What is the passing score for the PgMP exam?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score that is not published as a fixed number. Results are reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback, so focus on broad mastery across all five domains.

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

    Course Content

    Do I need prior experience to take PgMP training?

    Anyone can enrol in the training, but the PgMP is a senior credential. To sit the exam, PMI requires substantial programme management experience across three eligibility sets, plus project management experience or an active PMP, all within the past 15 years.

    What topics are covered in the PgMP training?

    The training covers all five performance domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, plus application guidance, panel-review preparation and exam strategy.

    Which standard is the PgMP training based on?

    The courseware is aligned to The Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline, so your preparation matches what PMI tests.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams, an exam simulator and topic-wise quizzes to help you identify weak areas and build readiness for the 170-question exam.

    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 earned through the programme, which support your PMI application.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    What are the eligibility requirements to earn the PgMP?
