I could really use some help finding resources or maybe a class I can take to prepare to take the Program Management certification exam. I took it last week and did not pass. I did pass the PMP certification exam last year and had no trouble locating a wealth of resources to study. I’ve not found much for the PgMP certification exam though. Any recommendations are very much welcome! Saving Changes...

Sorry to hear that you didn’t pass from your first attempt. I know it’s not an easy exam and there aren’t as many additional resources out there like the PMP exam given that there isn’t a huge demand for this credential. Personally, I did self-study and you can find my PgMP journey notes in my blog via the below link:
In terms of training, check Harisha Lakkavalli (ACEPRO Consulting) and Kailash Upadhyay (Addon Skills) on LinkedIn. They both provide training and very reliable. For simulation exams, check on Udemy, as I’ve heard there are a few good Simulation Practice exams there.
Hope this helps. Good Luck with your second attempt.

Thank you so much Rami! I will check out these resources. I realized the lack of resources was very likely related to what you mentioned, so I figured making some connections to those that have taken it would be very beneficial. You've proved me correct!
I appreciate all the help, and I'll keep you all posted on how it goes. I'm going to give myself another 2 months or so to really absorb the information before I attempt to take it again.
Rami Kaibni could likely point you to a number of useful references. I'd also recommend searching the LinkedIn discussion group list for "PgMP" as there are at least a couple of active discussion groups there focused on that credential.

Maybe PMI will need to approve the comment because it has a link (Although it is an internal link). Lets wait till tomorrow and if you still can’t see the comment, let me know please.
