Is the exam fee included?

No. The exam is 170 questions in four hours. You pay the institute. This course does not file the application.

Does a PMP qualify me?

A PMP can stand in for the project years. The institute still asks for years of program work, and a panel reviews the application. Check the current rules before you pay.

How is this different from PfMP Exam Prep?

PgMP is the program: several projects, one set of benefits. PfMP is the portfolio: which work the organisation should fund, and which it should stop.

Do you guarantee a job after a cohort?

No. We publish dates, prices, refund terms and consented stories. Placement and income claims are not part of this academy.

What time zone are live sessions in?

Source zone is America/Toronto unless a cohort says otherwise. Session times always name that zone. Convert in your own calendar from the ICS on the cohort card.

Can I join a waitlist if a cohort is full?

Yes. Waitlist captures name, email and optional phone. It does not take payment. Seats that free up are offered in join order.

How does early-bird pricing work?

If a cohort has an early-bird price and the cut-off has not passed (server date at payment), checkout charges the early-bird amount. The cart may still show list price until quote.

What is the refund window?

Full refund before the published cut-off relative to the cohort start; after that the published bands on the Refund page apply. Checkout requires you to accept that policy.

You already run more than one project. The program still has no single owner. Thirty-two live hours walk the exam the way the questions are written: strategy, benefits, stakeholders, governance, and the life of the program. You leave ready to book the exam. The fee for the exam is separate.

Governance, money, and quality

This is for senior project managers, PMO leads, and delivery heads who already coordinate several projects toward one set of benefits. Over the weekends you cover how a program differs from a portfolio and from a project, the program life cycle, benefits from identification through sustainment, stakeholders, governance, money, quality, risk, scope, schedule, and change. The exam is 170 questions in four hours. The weight is the life cycle (44 percent), then stakeholders (16), strategic alignment (15), governance (14), and business alignment (11). You practise scenario questions before the clock is the first one you see. The institute sets the experience. With a high school diploma it asks for four years of project work and seven years of program work in the last fifteen years. With a bachelor degree it asks for four years of each. A PMP can stand in for the project years. There is also a panel review. This course does not file the application, and the exam fee is not in this price. Contact hours are not required to sit the exam. Dates and the fee are on this page.
