The PMI-PMOCP Accelerator by PMO Evolution
Pass the PMI-PMOCP on Your First Try. Walk Away With a PMO You Could Actually Build.
An 8-week live cohort taught personally by a certified PMI-PMOCP holder and practicing PMO consultant, using PMI's official exam prep content plus the largest practice question bank on the market. Every concept is practiced twice: once the way PMI will test it, and once the way your organization will demand it.
Live cohorts run several times per year · Class sizes are capped by design
Why the PMI-PMOCP, and Why Now
Most certifications reward you for joining a crowd. This one rewards you for arriving early.
The Only PMI Credential Built for PMO Professionals
Generic project credentials say you can run a project. The PMI-PMOCP says you can design, run, and defend the function that runs all of them. If the PMO is your career, this is the certification that finally matches it.
Rare Today Is Exactly the Point
The credential is young, with the current exam content outline dated February 2025, and holders are still scarce. Early certification puts those letters on your profile while they still make recruiters and executives stop scrolling. Waiting means certifying alongside everyone else.
Your PMO Is Being Asked to Prove Itself
Budget season does not spare PMOs that cannot articulate their value. The exam is built around exactly that conversation: value propositions, service design, and performance evidence. Certifying now means walking into your next executive review with PMI's framework behind you.
The Exam Is Beatable, With the Right Preparation
It is 120 situational questions in 165 minutes, and candidates consistently report the same struggle: almost nothing realistic to practice with. That problem is solvable. It is precisely the problem this program was built to solve, and the reason we can guarantee your first attempt.
Who This Program Is For
The PMI-PMOCP is the credential that says you know how a PMO creates value, not just how it files status reports. This cohort is built for three kinds of professionals:
PMO Leaders and Managers
You run a PMO today and want the credential that validates what you do, plus frameworks to sharpen how you demonstrate value to executives.
PMO Analysts and Practitioners
You work inside a PMO and want to step up. The PMI-PMOCP signals you are ready for more responsibility and gives you the language to earn it.
Project and Program Managers
You are moving toward PMO leadership, or you have been asked to set one up. This program shows you how PMOs are designed, run, and defended.
Your 8-Week Journey Through the Exam Content Outline
Modules map one to one to the six ECO domains, with the official domain weights shown so you always know where the points are. PMI's licensed exam prep content is used in its entirety, augmented with original labs, templates, and practice questions.
Onboarding and Diagnostic
Full 120-question diagnostic simulator before any teaching, so you start Week 1 knowing exactly where you stand. Plus study plan, eligibility and application walkthrough.
Kickoff: The PMO Mindset and How This Exam Thinks
The value-driven PMO mindset, your diagnostic debrief, and the anatomy of a PMI-PMOCP question: how to spot the answer PMI rewards.

Final Simulator, Exam Strategy, and Capstone
Exam-conditions rehearsal, time management for 165 minutes, Pearson VUE logistics, and your PMO Blueprint capstone presentation.
The weekly rhythm
One live 2.5-hour session per week: 60 minutes of concept teaching mapped to the ECO, 60 minutes of application lab on a running case study (or your own organization), and a 30-minute exam gym where your instructor dissects real-style situational questions out loud. Between sessions, 2 to 3 hours of self-paced work. Total investment: 40 to 45 hours over 8 weeks.
Practice Volume Nobody Else Offers
The number one complaint from PMI-PMOCP candidates is that there is almost nothing realistic to practice with. This program was built to end that problem.
The Assessment Engine
A bank of 600+ original situational questions, every one mapped to an ECO domain and task, written in the current exam style, with rationales for the right answer and all three distractors.
- Diagnostic simulator before Week 1
- A 20-question exam after every module
- Midpoint and final full-length simulators
- Domain drills, filterable by ECO task
The Real-World Application Layer
Each module ends with a lab on a running case study, using templates you keep, including Smartsheet-based PMO tools drawn from our consulting practice.
- Charter and mandate canvas
- Service catalog and persona cards
- KPI dashboard and competency matrix
- Run every lab against your own PMO if you prefer
The PMO Blueprint Capstone
By Week 8 your assembled labs become a complete PMO design, presented for peer and instructor feedback. It doubles as a portfolio piece for PMO job interviews.
- A full PMO designed end to end
- Instructor and peer review
- An artifact you can show employers
Why This Program Beats Everything Else Available
Your options today: PMI's self-paced course covers the minimum eligibility hours and stops. Typical ATP bootcamps teach to the exam and hold their best practice content for upper tiers. Budget video courses are cheap for a reason. Here is the honest comparison.

Lead Instructor · Founder & CEO, PMO Evolution · PMI-PMOCP
I have spent more than 20 years inside portfolios and PMOs, leading teams of 60+ and portfolios above $100M across finance, technology, and public services. I have built PMOs, rescued PMOs, and yes, recommended shutting one down when that was the honest answer.
Every session of this program is taught by me personally, not a contract trainer reading slides. I hold the PMI-PMOCP, I completed PMI's Train the Trainer program, and I judge the PMI PMO Awards, so I see what the world's best PMOs actually do. You get the exam prep and the field experience behind it.

Common Questions
Am I eligible for the PMI-PMOCP exam?
PMI requires 36 months of project experience (an active PMI project management credential also qualifies you) plus 10 hours of PMO education. This course provides 20 contact hours, double the education requirement, and Week 0 includes a full application walkthrough. If you want to confirm your eligibility before enrolling, book a clarification call and we will assess it honestly.
How long do I keep access to the materials?
Two clocks, stated up front so nobody is surprised. PMI's official exam prep materials: one full year, matching your exam eligibility window. The PMO Evolution practice platform, including the simulators, drill bank, labs, toolkit, and session recordings: your 8-week cohort plus 60 days after. Anyone invoking the pass guarantee gets access restored automatically.
How does the first-try pass guarantee work?
Attend or watch all eight sessions, complete all six module exams and all three simulators, score 75% or higher on the final simulator, and sit your exam within 60 days of the course ending. Do that, and if you still do not pass on your first attempt, you repeat the entire course free, with access restored, until you pass. The guarantee covers the course; PMI's exam and retake fees are separate. Worth knowing: PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility window, with a discounted retake fee.
What is your refund policy?
Strict, and stated up front. Full refund less processing fees within 7 days of purchase, provided Week 0 has not opened and you have not accessed course content. After that, enrollment is final: your seat is held in a capped cohort and your PMI kit is issued. If life intervenes, you can transfer your seat once to the next cohort free of charge before the second live session. Payment plans commit you to the full price regardless of attendance. The complete policy is on our enrollment policies page.
Is the PMI exam fee included?
No. PMI charges the exam fee separately and it varies with PMI membership status. Your enrollment covers the full prep program, PMI's official courseware, the complete assessment engine, and the contact hours the certification requires.
What if I miss a live session?
Every session is recorded and available to your cohort for review. Between the recordings, the weekly office hour, and direct instructor access, a missed week never derails you. Watching the recording also keeps you qualified for the guarantee.
When does the next cohort start?
The next cohort runs September 29 to December 1, 2026, with the self-paced onboarding week opening September 14. Live sessions are Tuesdays at 7:00 PM ET, with two built-in catch-up weeks mid-course. And here is a promise most training providers will not make: this cohort is guaranteed to run. No cancellation emails two weeks before start, no rescheduling your study plans around our enrollment numbers.
Can you run this for our whole PMO team?
Yes. A condensed corporate intensive is available for organizations upskilling a PMO team: the same 20 contact hours and full assessment engine over 4 weeks, in a private cohort, with an executive readout of your team's aggregated maturity and competency results. Contact us for per-seat volume pricing.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. At checkout you can pay in full or split your enrollment into 3 monthly payments. Many of our students invest in this credential personally rather than through a company budget, and the payment plan exists exactly for that. If your employer does reimburse training, your enrollment receipt and the 20 contact hours documentation give you everything a reimbursement request typically needs.
