Why go for a PgMP Certification?

Program Managers are those who define projects, assign project managers, and oversee programs within their role. They are essentially responsible for the success of a program or the grouping of related projects together in order to realize benefits not available if these projects were managed separately.

PMI recognizes program managers’ advanced experience and skill through this PgMP Certification. It distinguishes them from project managers as the PgMP credential demonstrates their proven competency to oversee multiple, related projects and their resources to achieve strategic business goals

At the end of our PgMP Live Online Course, you will be able to:
