Audience

This is an Advanced-level course that is suitable for people who have the necessary experience to meet the Project Management Institute's eligibility requirements. The Project Management Institute requires all PgMP^® exam candidates to have:

At least four years' (6,000 hours') Project Management experience
If you have a bachelor's degree you will also need four years' (6,000 hours') Program Management experience
However, if you do not have a bachelor's degree, the Program Management requirement goes up to seven years (10,500 hours)

In addition to this, we strongly recommend that our students have obtained the Project Management Professional (PMP)^® accreditation already. Many of the day-to-day tools and techniques covered by the Standard for Program Management are very familiar to PMP^® exam students. You will find it much easier if you have encountered these previously.
