Eligibility Requirements

This course is suitable for people who have the necessary experience to meet the Project Management Institute’s eligibility requirements. These are framed in terms of experience and will be detailed under the “Course Eligibility” tab. If you are a Project Manager interested in the next step in your career ladder, a board member who wants to learn more about strategy or a new Program Manager who would like to learn the basics of Program Management, then we recommend our 4-day Program Management course.

To apply for this course, you need to be:

Proficient in both written and verbal English. In other words, if English is not your first language, you must have a minimum overall International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each band, or the equivalent Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score.
Reasonable numerate – i.e. understand basic arithmetic. Thus we require learners to have at least a Junior Certificate, or equivalent.
Computer literate. To access our learning management systems and virtual classroom-based courses, you need to be comfortable with basic information and communications technology. You are also expected to provide their own computer equipment to access our learning systems.

The Project Management Institute requires all PgMP^® exam candidates to have:

At least four years’ (6,000 hours’) Project Management experience.
If you have a bachelor’s degree you will also need four years’ (6,000 hours’) Program Management experience.
However, if you do not have a bachelor’s degree, the Program Management requirement goes up to seven years (10,500 hours).

In addition to this, we strongly recommend that our students have obtained the Project Management Professional (PMP)^® accreditation already. Many of the day-to-day tools and techniques covered by the Standard for Program Management are very familiar to PMP^® exam students. You will find it much easier if you have encountered these previously.

FAQs

Everything you need to know about the course. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, chat with our team.

What support is available to me during and after the course?

Velopi’s courses are aimed at adult learners. We value the life experiences of our students and encourage everyone attending to contribute and to apply their existing experience to new situations.

At the start of each course, students will be provided with their instructor’s e-mail address and contact phone number. They are invited to make contact if they have any questions after the class.

Each one of the “Club PDU” courses are stand-alone offerings.
Following a continuing professional development course, many students are inspired to take their project management development a step further and we encourage our students to discuss their career plans with us. We can recommend further formal training leading to more advanced qualifications.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion of the course?

All students will receive a Certificate of Completion. This certificate sends out a strong signal that you are serious about the project management profession and seek to develop further in this role.

Are you approved by the Project Management Institute (PMI)® as an ATP?

Yes, we are! Our relationship with the Project Management Institute goes back to 2011 when we became a Registered Education Provider (REP). We became an Authorized Training Partner (ATP) in 2020.

Are your courses only relevant to specific industries, or can they be applied to any industry?

Project management is a transferable skill. Thus these courses are relevant to all industries from Medical Devices, through Pharmaceutical, Financial Services, Construction & Engineering, the Public Sector, to Information & Communications Technologies.

This is reflected in the nature of our case study exercises. Students quickly realize that the problems they have faced in the workplace are very similar to those outlined in class.

Students also meet project managers from other industries and networking with these brings home the universal nature of most project management issues.

Do you offer bulk discounts for organizations purchasing courses?

Yes we do! Please contact us to discuss your requirements. Many of our courses can also be delivered, face-to-face, at your own facility.
