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.
