PgMP Exam Prep Course

Are you currently responsible for defining projects, assigning project managers and overseeing programs? Have you demonstrated the advanced ability to coordinate multiple, related projects to achieve strategic business and organizational goals? If so, you should consider applying for PMI’s new Program Management Professional (PgMP®) credential — PMI’s first credential designed to recognize to those who have proven skills in program as well as project management. The PgMPSM is the latest in PMI’s growing suite of credentials, which include the highly sought-after Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential and the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) credential. The process of obtaining the PgMP is more rigorous than other credentials, requiring candidates to pass a series of three evaluations. In the first evaluation, a panel of program managers reviews the candidate’s application and qualifications. The second evaluation is a multiple-choice examination that includes situational and scenario-based questions. Finally, the candidate undergoes a multi-rater assessment process. PMI credentials such as the PgMP provides a competitive advantage to organizations, attracting and developing employees with the right skills for a job. Globally recognized professional credentials help employers improve business results by certifying an individual’s experience and skill — very useful when decisions are made to hire, promote or assign people into positions where proven specialized skills are critical to success. PMI-SFBAC has decided to bring in certification expert Aileen Ellis, PMP® , PgMP® , of AME Group Inc. to host our first (and one of the only in the world) PgMP Certification Preparation Program. Aileen has helped thousands of individuals obtain their PMP Certification and is now assisting the Chapter in provided needed coaching, training and mentoring to those individuals who qualify for the PgMP Exam. The Program includes three parts: 1. One-on-one coaching from Aileen to help the individual meet the demands of completing the PgMP Application. 2. Three day workshop on June 2-4 in South Denver. 3. Continued coaching for up to 60 days from Aileen to help prepare for the Intense PgMP Exam.
