If you are an individual wanting to improve your competences as project manager, program manager, or portfolio manager, or as trainer, consultant or coach, you have come to the right place. Here, you will find information regarding IPMA’s certification schemes and information about international recognition as well as information regarding our products and services for the talented people rather new to our profession. Let us help you in your journey towards becoming or developing your competences as professional project, portfolio or program manager.

While the IPMA manages the 4-level (4LC) certification scheme for individuals, the Certification Bodies of the IPMA Member Associations are responsible for the individual assessments and certification. The certification process involves several steps for the assessment of a candidate and is described in detail in the International Certification Regulations (ICR), which you can download at the bottom of the page. Here we present an overview.

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!
