ABOUT THE COURSE:

This is an online course and its recorded classes will be available at the PMO Global Alliance Learning Platform.

This course has as primary objective to certify professionals in the international methodology named PMO VALUE RING, which can be used to create, evaluate and restructure PMOs, focusing on value generation.

The PMO-CP certificate is issued by the PMO Global Alliance. The cost of the online exam is included in the total cost of the course.

The PMO-CP certified professional can demonstrate alignment with the most important methodology in the world for strategic management of PMOs, based on best practices and international research.

ABOUT THE PMO VALUE RING METHODOLOGY:

The PMO VALUE RING methodology is now used by professionals in more than 65 countries. There are hundreds of PMO-CPs in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia.

The methodology is supported by a database with the collective intelligence of a worldwide community of PMO leaders, from which recommendations are obtained on best practices and solutions to the challenges of PMOs.

More information about the methodology can be found at www.pmovaluering.com.

ABOUT THE PMO-CP EXAM:

To obtain the certification, the candidate must be approved on an online proctored exam of 40 multiple choice questions, achieving a minimum score of 75%.

The exam covers technical aspects related to the methodology, and the candidate has up to 60 minutes to finish it.

The online exam is proctored, like some of the most recognized certifications in the world. It means that the candidate will be able to take the online exam in the most appropriate place and will be monitored throughout the exam by one of our monitors.

The proctored exam can only be scheduled after the completion of the records lessons. The candidate will have up to 90 days to schedule and take the exam.

The exam must be scheduled at least 72 hours in advance of the desired / available day and time.

If the candidate fails in the first attempt, it is possible to make a second attempt at the additional cost of US $ 150. This amount should be paid within 10 working days and, after 5 working days, the candidate will have 90 days to schedule and make the second attempt.

Detailed instructions about this process will be available to the candidates after registration.

PMO Global Alliance provides only a digital PMO-CP certificate. It will be sent to the email previously informed by the candidate within 7 days after passing the exam.

ABOUT THE ACCESS TO THE PMOGA LEARNING PLATFORM:

The candidates will receive a communication with all the instructions to access the learning system, where they will find all material needed for the study. This message will be sent within 24 hours after registration.

ABOUT THE PMO VALUE RING SOFTWARE:

The concepts of the PMO VALUE RING methodology are useful, regardless of the use of the software that supports it.

The great advantage of using the PMOVR software is that it gives access to a benchmarking database with the collective intelligence of the PMO leaders community, allowing the user to get recommendations on which paths to take in PMO design.
