The Exam:

There are two evaluations for the Program Management Professional (PgMP) credential. The first evaluation is a Panel Review, and the panel review process begins once the certification payment is received, and the audit is completed (if your application is selected). A panel of volunteer PgMP -certified program managers will assess your professional experience based on your responses to the Program Management Experience Summaries on the PgMP application. Once you pass the panel review, you will be eligible to take the examination.

The PgMP examination consists of 170 multiple-choice questions. Of the 170 questions, 20 are considered pretest questions which are not scored. The allotted time to complete the computer-based examination is four hours.
