    Market Forces Driving PgMP Demand in Lausanne

    Health Valley Talent Scarcity

    Vaud's 1,000-plus life sciences firms are scaling fast, yet many director-level roles sit unfilled past 180 days. Programme leaders who can govern complex delivery are in short supply.

    PgMP makes certified programme leaders stand out

    Strategy-Execution Gap

    Boards fund transformation and capex programmes, but weak links between strategy and the funded work cause value leakage that credentialed programme leaders are now hired to close.

    PgMP builds prioritisation and benefits skills

    Multinational HQ Complexity

    Global headquarters in Vaud run cross-border programmes spanning many markets and functions, demanding programme-grade governance, benefits tracking and coordination at scale.

    PgMP builds governance and coordination skills

    Trust Tech and Digital Change

    The Trust Valley cybersecurity and digital-trust push is reshaping delivery, so organisations need programme leaders who can steer multi-workstream change under tight assurance.

    PgMP builds multi-workstream delivery skills

    Cross-Border Talent Competition

    With only a fraction of EPFL and UNIL graduates staying in the canton, senior programme talent is fiercely contested, making a recognised credential a genuine differentiator.

    PgMP gives a recognised, portable edge

    Capital-Efficiency Pressure

    Capital discipline in pharma, banking and manufacturing pushes organisations to prioritise ruthlessly, retire low-value work and rebalance programmes to strategic benefit.

    PgMP builds portfolio optimisation skills

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    The Program Management Professional (PgMP) is PMI's expert-level credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It suits senior programme managers, PMP holders stepping up, PMO leaders and transformation directors in and around Lausanne.

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

    The Program Management Professional (PgMP) is PMI's expert-level credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as one coordinated programme to deliver strategic benefits. It suits senior programme managers, PMP holders stepping up, PMO leaders and transformation directors in and around Lausanne.

    Why choose Invensis Learning for PgMP training in Lausanne?

    Invensis Learning is a PMI Authorized Training Partner offering PMI-aligned courseware, experienced trainers, flexible delivery, and support for the PgMP application and panel review. You get a clear, supported path from learning to certification. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your route.

    Is the PgMP recognised by employers in Switzerland?

    Yes. The PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential valued by Vaud and Swiss employers across pharma, FMCG, banking, technology and the public sector that run large, strategy-critical programmes. Fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide hold it, making it a strong differentiator.

    Do I need PMP before taking the PgMP?

    No. PMP is not a mandatory prerequisite. However, an active PMP satisfies the project management experience requirement across all three PgMP eligibility sets, so PMP holders only need to document their programme management experience.

    How long is the PgMP valid and how is it renewed?

    The PgMP is valid for three years. You renew it by earning 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle within each three-year continuing certification requirements cycle, with at least 8 PDUs in each area.

    Pricing

    How much does PgMP training cost in Lausanne?

    PgMP training fees vary by format and provider, so pricing is available on request. The PMI exam fee is billed separately in USD under regional pricing and is not part of the training fee. Request a quote for current Lausanne schedules and corporate rates.

    What is included in the PgMP course fee?

    The fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, learner support and a course completion certificate with contact hours. Ask an advisor what your chosen plan covers.

    Is the PMI exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the PgMP exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing. For reference, members pay around USD 800 and non-members around USD 1,000; confirm current fees at pmi.org, as PMI updates pricing periodically.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, business units and leadership teams across Vaud. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    What payment and instalment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the PgMP exam?

    The PgMP exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination based on the PgMP Examination Content Outline and the Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition. It covers five performance domains with scenario-based questions.

    How many questions are on the PgMP exam and how long is it?

    The exam has 170 questions and an allotted time of four hours. It is delivered via Pearson VUE OnVUE online proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test centre.

    What are the five PgMP exam domains and their weights?

    Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%). Programme life cycle management carries the greatest weight.

    What is the PgMP panel review?

    The panel review is a multi-rater assessment unique to the PgMP. A panel of programme management practitioners evaluates your documented experience. You must pass both the panel review and the written exam to earn the credential.

    What if I do not pass the exam first time?

    PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Reexamination fees apply to the second and third attempts; confirm current amounts on the PMI store. Our mock exams and trainer support help you prepare thoroughly.

    What is the passing score for the PgMP exam?

    PMI does not publish a fixed percentage pass mark. Results are determined psychometrically and reported by domain as Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement, so aim for broad mastery across all five domains.

    Course Content

    What topics does the PgMP training cover?

    The training covers the five PgMP performance domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, plus the PMI application, panel review and exam strategy.

    Do I need prior experience to benefit from the course?

    The training is built for experienced professionals, but anyone can attend to learn. To sit the exam PMI requires substantial programme experience; our trainers help you map your background to the eligibility sets and the ECO.

    What learning resources are provided?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the PgMP Examination Content Outline and Handbook, a Standard for Program Management overview, templates, flashcards and chapter-wise quizzes.

    Are mock exams and practice questions included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes mapped to the PgMP ECO to help you find weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current PgMP standard?

    Yes. The courseware aligns to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PgMP?

    PMI offers three sets. With a four-year degree you need 48 months of project management experience (or an active PMP) plus 48 months of programme management experience within the last 15 years; a secondary diploma requires 84 months of programme experience. A panel review applies to all.
