PgMP Eligibility Calculator

The PgMP certification, or Program Management Professional Certification, is a credential offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI) to recognize individuals who have demonstrated a high level of expertise and experience in program management. The certification is designed for experienced program managers who are responsible for the overall success of a program or a set of related projects.

The eligibility requirements for the PgMP Certification are quite stringent, and ProThoughts has developed a PgMP Eligibility Calculator to help candidates determine whether they meet the requirements for the certification. 

The PgMP Certification Eligibility Calculator takes into account the following three criteria:

Educational Background: PgMP candidates must have a secondary degree (high school diploma, associate's degree, or the global equivalent) and at least four years of project management experience. Alternatively, candidates may have a four-year degree and at least four years of project management experience.

Program Management Experience: PgMP candidates must have at least four years of experience in program management within the past 15 years. This experience must include the management of at least two distinct programs, each with a minimum of three projects.

Project Management Education: PgMP candidates must have completed at least 35 hours of formal project management education. This education must have been completed before submitting the application for certification.

To use the eligibility calculator, candidates need to enter their educational background, program management experience, and project management education. The calculator will then determine whether the candidate meets the eligibility requirements for the PgMP certification.

If the candidate meets the eligibility requirements, they can then proceed to the application process, which includes submitting an application for PgMP, passing a PgMP exam, and meeting additional requirements for continuing education and professional development. The PgMP certification is a highly respected credential in the field of program management, and achieving it can open up new career opportunities and demonstrate a high level of expertise and professionalism to potential employers.
