PMO Certifications
PMO Learning is the UK’s specialist in training, development and learning experience for people who work in PMO. We’re not a Project Management training company – you won’t find PRINCE2® here. Just PMO.
We currently deliver PeopleCerts P3O® and MoP® certifications, the popular Essentials courses from the House of PMO and Project, Programme & Portfolio Governance Professional (P3GP).
If you’re not looking for a certificate, take a look at our Specialist Courses for everything from Lean-Agile PMO to Benefits Management.

House of PMO Essentials
The House of PMO Essentials courses delve into the PMO roles outlined in the PMO Competency Framework, and outlines the key skills, behaviours, competencies and responsibilities of those working in PMO roles.
The certifications are called PMO Essentials and the four include:
- PMO Essentials for PMO Administrators
- PMO Essentials for PMO Analysts
- PMO Essentials for PMO Managers
- PMO Essentials for PMO Directors
The certification courses will be accredited by APMG, the global examination institute, and all four certifications are available to book through PMO Learning.
The House of PMO Essential certification courses are available through open public schedules and in-house corporate PMO team courses.

P3O® Certifications
The PeopleCert P3O® certifications have been available since 2008.
The P3O® certifications are ideal for those working in or leading a PMO.
PeopleCert have two P3O® certifications:
