Both certifications offered by the project management institute,

However, there are several major differences between the two certifications:

PMP serves mainly for people who manage individual projects

PgMP is made for skilled workers who manage a series of related projects to achieve business objectives

The PMP certification is more basic, whereas the PgMP certification is more advanced

A minimum of 3-5 years of project management experience is required for the PMP certification

PgMP certification requires at least 6-10 years of program management experience

[{"selector":"#anim-7dd01889-b06f-4e61-ba50-38fe3a20f264","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18d80f0e-9501-41e0-a95e-3a6be7395275","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(124.18773%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The PgMP certification process is more complex than the PMP certification process

[{"selector":"#anim-03bab72a-1a94-45a9-b64e-eca634130c70","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e6d52b1-5f92-4673-8d6c-57346ce14b75","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(123.04965%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
