It is 9% of the global PgMP® count.

- Australia might record a century PgMP®s by May 2020.
PgMP® Stats Latest Trends
- Singapore has crossed the PgMP® count of 50.

The PgMP® journey of vCare in 2019 was exciting, yet we could contribute to the success of only 49 PgMP®s from the 359 PgMP®s. It is 14% of the global PgMP®. This number is not only less than the determined milestone of 100 but also less than our PgMP® numbers in 2017 and 2018. (54 and 72 respectively). Therefore, our vision for 2020 is to reach 100.

Why PgMP®?
For the certified program manager professional (PgMP®), the certification opens various opportunities for climbing up the professional ladder. Along with the experience you already possess, the credibility of PMI will come in very handy. As a program manager, your leadership will be instrumental in obtaining myriad benefits for your organization. You are managing multiple, related projects in a coordinated way, achieving advantages that will not occur if the projects were handled separately. As such a crucial team leader, the qualifications you have acquired must reflect the benefits you can bring to any team.
What is PgMP®
As a certified program manager, you demonstrate your ability to lead, manage, and direct programs. One of the primary goals of the certification is to display the certified program managers within your high-performing organization, as well as in the international program and project management community. It ensures you have an elite reputation to stand out from the crowd.
