Competence Certification

​

The Project Manager title is a generic term for a highly diverse profession. In other words, not all project managers are alike!

​

Project managers differ according to experience and to the organisational level at which they are active. The same also applies to the complexity and number of projects under their purview.

​

IPMA® PM 4-L-C certification recognises this and makes this distinction transparent.

​

Individual Competence Baseline

​

Worldwide, the IPMA certification is based on the global competence standard, ICB. This standard is defined by the IPMA and describes the competences that project, programme and portfolio managers should possess. 

​

 IPMA Level A 

 IPMA Level B

 IPMA Level C

 IPMA Level D

​

The level differentiation makes it clear what project management technical, behavioral and context competences are required.

​

What is the value of the certification?

​

Worldwide, IPMA provides the only certification programme based on competences. If you want to know the difference between competence based certification and methodology based certification.

 

IPMA Level D® is IPMA’s starting level, aimed at starting professionals. Level C® is aimed at people who have 3-5 years of working experience, and is comparable in level to most internationally used certification schemes.

 

Level B® and Level A® are the levels for the very experienced and competent project, programme and portfolio managers. When you reach these levels, you have proven to be an all-round, experienced professional, capable of running complex initiatives. More detailed information regarding levels and the certification process is available here. The brochure with extensive information is available to download.

​

The assessment steps for individuals are applied to each of the IPMA competence level A, level B, level C and level D. When candidates meet the competence requirements, they can apply directly for the desired Level. You do not need to start at level D and move your way up to C and B and A!

​

If you are looking for project, programme and portfolio managers who have proven competences, look for IPMA certified professionals. Certified professionals are registered in the international database.
