Getting P3GP® certified
Becoming a certified P3GP® Project, Programme and Portfolio Governance Professional is more than earning a credential, it’s a streamlined learning journey which enables a candidate to support the review, design, and maintenance of effective governance arrangements for projects, programmes, and change portfolios.
It provides an independent benchmark of a candidate’s grasp of the core principles, structures, and concepts of P3G, as well as their ability to explain how these can be applied across different organisational contexts.
The certification is methodology-agnostic and applicable to all sectors, ensuring that the principles of effective governance can be tailored to any industry, delivery approach (traditional, agile, or hybrid), and organisational environment.

P3GP® Course Reviews
Alex Cruttwell
Really interesting and useful - provided really powerful framework to think about P3 Governance issues!
Vincent Piedboeuf
So enlightening!
Those concepts may seem obvious, and then you realise that many organisations fail to apply them effectively.
This training programme brought me a lot of practical tips to make them work.
Abdulhameed Matlageto
The course and principles presented are structured in a logical way that can be implemented in the practical business world. The guide provides case studies and templates to make it more practical for professionals to understand and implement efficient and effective Project, Programme & Portfolio Governance.
Ryan Worth
Immensely engaging throughout, principally due to the quality of delivery and real-world applicability of the training.
I was able to contextualize each element of every P3G principal with actual challenges encountered in projects past and present.
Highly recommended for all levels of portfolio, programme, and/or project professional!
