IPMA-USA has chartered an independent certification body that operates in accordance with the requirements of ISO 17024:2012, Conformity assessment — General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons.
IPMA has a database of certified individuals, that we update quarterly. Go to http://ipma.world/certification/certify-individuals/search-certified-pms/. Enter the first or last name of the person you are seeking. If you see more than 10 people with the same name, try entering the rest of the name, or the certification level of the person you seek.
Every assessment decision requires agreement from two independent assessors who are both skilled project, program, or portfolio managers as well as trained assessors. The assessors operate under a detailed set of regulations and guidelines that covers everything from how to score a candidate’s evidence to how to prepare for a video assessment.
We are the USA Member Association of IPMA and the exclusive provider of IPMA’s Four-Level-Certification (4-L-C) System in the USA.
The International Project Management Association (IPMA) is a federation of over 60 national project management associations. IPMA provides global recognition while IPMA-USA provides local flavor. (see the list of global certification bodies at IPMA’s website)
The IPMA certification program extends beyond testing of short-term knowledge to use professional assessors to evaluate the competence of the individual. The competences we evaluate go beyond technical areas like cost, time, and risk to include soft skills such as leadership, self-management, and integirty. We also evaluate each candidate’s understanding of the context of their work such as strategic fit, governance, and culture.
Most other P3M certification programs have little to do with the specific roles you play. Our levels correspond to the specific requirements of specific roles. Our certifications correlate to the roles you actually fill in your organization’s projects, programs, and portfolios … including an entry-level, exam-based certification for newcomers and practitioners in other disciplines.
* By aligning with IPMA-USA’s competence-based approach to improving project performance.
* By joining IPMA-USA and working with our members to apply IPMA’s Individual Competence Baseline (ICB4) foundation, not only for certification but for Talent Development and improved performance.
