About IPMA Certification

There are 4 levels in the IPMA 4-L-C System – Levels A, B, C and D. The IPMA level definitions are constructed against the following core criteria:

  • Level A is constructed in terms of the leadership of others in very complex projects throughout the life cycle at a strategic level. This also applies to portfolio and programme management roles and life cycles (where applicable).
  • Level B is constructed in terms of the leadership of others in complex projects throughout the life cycle. This also applies to portfolio and programme management roles and life cycles (where applicable).
  • Level C is constructed in terms of the management of others in projects of moderate complexity throughout the life cycle through the application of knowledge/theory across all relevant competences.
  • Level D is constructed in terms of knowledge across all relevant competences only.

Re-certification

A certificate needs to be updated on a regular basis.  After a specific period of time, a certificate is withdrawn unless a person undergoes the re-certification process. In this process, a professional can maintain the certificate, by proving the required competences are still maintained at the right level. For the certification info click here
