Leading the Future of Project Consulting, Where Expertise Meets Opportunity.

PMO Global Institute (PMOGI) expanded into Project Management Consultant Certifications to bridge a critical industry gap.

With over $6 billion spent annually on PM consulting, organizations need certified professionals who can deliver execution strategies, optimize processes, and provide expert advisory services. By introducing the Project Management Accredited Consultant (PMAC)® and Project Management Essential Specialist (PMES)® certifications, PMOGI aims to empower project professionals with the necessary frameworks, governance models, and business acumen to establish credibility and excel as high-value consultants, strengthening the global project management industry.
