Question 1 of 6

What’s your highest completed education?

This sets how many months of program management experience PMI asks you for.

Question 2 of 6

Do you hold an active PMP® certification?

PMI accepts an active PMP in place of the entire project management experience requirement — it closes one of the two legs instantly.

Question 3 of 6

List the projects you led — with their dates.

Same rule as the PMP: overlapping months count once, and only the last 15 years count.

Unique project months0 months

Add your first project above.

Question 4 of 6

Now the programs — groups of related projects you directed.

A program is several related projects managed in a coordinated way to deliver benefits no single project could. Running one big project is not a program — directing the layer above it is.

Question 5 of 6

On those programs, which best describes what you did?

PMI’s wording is directing the coordinated management of related projects to achieve benefits — the panel reads for exactly this.

Question 6 of 6

Could you evidence those programs in writing today?

Unlike the PMP, every PgMP application is read by a panel of PgMP-certified assessors. Your written program summaries decide it.

Step 1 of 6

Rules last verified against PMI’s published PgMP requirements: 21 August 2026

What are the PgMP eligibility requirements?

Every pathway needs 4 years of project management experience or an active PMP®, within the last 15 years. Your education decides the program management experience required:

Your education Project management Program management
Secondary / high-school diploma 4 years (or active PMP®) 7 years
Bachelor’s degree or higher 4 years (or active PMP®) 4 years
Bachelor’s from a GAC-accredited program 3 years (or active PMP®) 3 years

Two things most candidates miss: all experience must fall within the last 15 years, and an active PMP® satisfies the entire project-management half of the requirement.

PgMP eligibility check FAQ

No — this is a free self-assessment based on PMI’s published PgMP eligibility criteria. Only PMI’s own application and panel review can formally confirm eligibility. The checker tells you, honestly and instantly, where you stand before you invest in the application.

The rules themselves are exact — they mirror PMI’s published requirements by education and experience. What the checker cannot judge is whether your experience is truly program-level; that is what the panel review evaluates, and where guidance matters most.

Do not self-reject. Borderline usually means program-level work described in project words. Before deciding, map your multi-project experience against what the panel looks for — ownership, interdependencies, measurable benefits. This is exactly what we do in Week 2 of the workshop.

Yes, in two ways: the panel review evaluates your experience summaries, and PMI randomly audits applications — you may need to provide supporting documents and references within 90 days. Claim only what you can stand behind.
