Akbar Azwir is among a handful of professionals globally who don't just teach PMO standards. They help shape them.

He holds the PMO-CC (PMO Certified Consultant) from PMO Global Alliance and IPMO-P from AIPMO, alongside his PMI-PMOCP, PfMP®, PgMP®, and PMP® credentials. Combined with PMI-SP, Prosci® CCP, CSM, PSPO I, PRINCE2®, MSP®, and over 20 other internationally recognized certifications, Akbar brings both the theoretical depth and practical breadth that complex PMO challenges demand.

What sets him apart from other instructors is direct proximity to the standards the exam is based on. Akbar is a named contributor to the PMI PMO Practice Guide, the primary reference document behind the PMI-PMOCP certification, and to the PMBOK® Guide (7th and 8th Editions). Very few professionals in the world carry this combination of credentials and standard-setting involvement. The questions in his courses are curated and validated against these same standards, by someone who understands them from the inside.

His involvement in shaping the global PMO profession extends beyond standard-setting. Since October 2024, Akbar has served as a member of the PMO Global Alliance Vision and Growth Team, contributing to the strategic direction of the global PMO community. Since 2020, he has served continuously as a PMI PMO Awards juror, annually evaluating the world's highest-performing PMOs against the most rigorous governance benchmarks in the profession.

On the ground, Akbar serves as Managing Director of MagnaQM, Indonesia's only firm holding three simultaneous global accreditations: PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP), ACMP Qualified Education Provider (QEP), and PeopleCert Authorized Certification Partner (ACP). Over 13+ years, MagnaQM has served clients across Indonesia, Europe, and Africa, including Pertamina, PLN, BRI, Telkom Indonesia, and Pegadaian, whose PMO, under MagnaQM's guidance, was recognized as Best World PMO of the Year 2025.

He has spoken at international conferences across ASEAN, served on the PMO Global Awards Judging Committee, and been recognized as a Top 8 Global PMO Influencer by PMO Global Alliance.

Through his courses on Udemy, Akbar brings the same rigor and real-world depth he applies in boardrooms and consulting engagements, making complex PMO concepts exam-ready, practically grounded, and immediately applicable on the job.

If you want your exam preparation curated and validated by someone at the center of global PMO practice, you are in the right place.
