Course Level: Advance
To earn your Program Management Professional (PgMP)® credential, you must meet the experience and education requirements and pass the panel review and the multiple-choice examination. Regardless of how advanced your program management experience or education might be, it would be best if you still prepared vigorously for the exam.
Successful PgMP candidates typically use multiple study aids — including courses, self-study, and study groups — and will spend many hours preparing. Make sure you leave plenty of preparation time before taking the multiple-choice exam.
