From the Handbook
PgMP Certifying Process Overview
You must pass two evaluations to obtain the PgMP certification. This process takes approximately four weeks to complete.
Evaluation 1—Panel Review: The initial evaluation occurs through an extensive application review during which a panel of certified program managers will assess your professional experience based on your responses to the Program Management Experience Summaries provided on the application.
Evaluation 2—Multiple-Choice Examination: The next step occurs with the multiple-choice examination in which you will be called upon to demonstrate your competence in both situational and scenario-based questions.
