The course with Evelien Top I found it very pleasant. In four days of lessons we covered various cases through a lot of interaction, making the IPMA D training a fun experience.
I found the PMO D training very valuable. A lot of theory is covered about everything that comes with project management, from the beginning to the end of the project and from issues and finances to conversation techniques.
Training program was customized by weighing the different experiences of the candidates. This allowed us to work in a targeted manner and not to focus too much on the topics we already had experience with.

What is IPMA?
IPMA stands for ' International Project Management Association '. It is a global organization of national project management associations. An important task of these associations is the certification, standardization, and accreditation of project managers and project management.
An IPMA certification helps you to demonstrably improve in project, program and portfolio management. It ensures that your projects become more manageable and your competencies visibly improve. Organizations can also demonstrate their quality and transparency in project management. An IPMA certification is a global leader.
What is the difference between IPMA and PRINCE2?
What are competencies within IPMA?
The unique aspect of IPMA is that it does not adhere to a specific framework. Within IPMA, it is more important to adapt to what a project needs *now*. The focus within IPMA is therefore on the competencies of the project manager, rather than on knowledge and skills.
This also shifts the role of the project manager. Instead of arranging everything, the project manager is increasingly the connecting link between management, users, suppliers and stakeholders.
In order to properly fulfil this renewed role, IPMA published the Individual Competence Baseline ICB 2015 in 4.0. This guideline consists of 28 competencies, divided into 3 categories:
- Perspective: In the first category you will find the contextual competencies. In order to properly map the characteristics, goals and requirements of the existing organization and environment, you need to know how to navigate in these different areas.
- People: in the second category you will find the soft skills. These soft skills are for example about effective collaboration, good negotiation and dealing with resistance in the team.
- practice: In the third category you will find the technical skills. These are really about managing projects. Think of drawing up substantiated plans, making reports and estimating and controlling risks around a project.
What different levels does IPMA have?
IPMA offers four levels of certification. This ensures there is always a training course that matches your level as a project professional. If you are a project team member or a junior project manager, choose IPMA D. If you are further along in your career and have at least three years of experience, IPMA C is right for you.
In addition, you have the IPMA B level for the project manager with at least 5 years of demonstrable experience in more complex projects. The highest level is IPMA A. This is intended for the most experienced project managers. Different exam components, admission requirements and rates apply per certification level.
How much time will I spend on an IPMA self-study?
How much time you spend on self-study depends on the level of your certification . For IPMA D, you spend approximately 100-160 hours on self-study.
Can an IPMA certification expire?
Yes, that is possible. An IPMA certification expires after 5 years. After those 5 years, you can choose to renew your certification by taking another training course.
What does the IPMA exam look like?
The format of the exam depends on the level at which you are taking it . You will find a comprehensive exam trainer in the e-learning module. Here, you will discover what an exam at your level looks like and what to expect. This way, you will always enter your exam well-prepared!
What happens if I fail the exam?
Oops, failed your exam… Don’t worry, that can happen. You can simply register for an exam again. And if you have any questions, you can always ask your change guide.
How quickly can I get my IPMA certification?
You have an IPMA training day every two weeks . There are five training days in total. We recommend taking your exam within four weeks of the last training day so that all the knowledge is still fresh in your memory. You can obtain your certification within three months.
What are the admission requirements for the IPMA training?
Everyone is welcome to participate in IPMA-D . We recommend a higher professional education (HBO) working and thinking level. If you are already a somewhat more experienced project manager, a different entry level might be more suitable. Email, WhatsApp, or call us and we would be happy to discuss it with you! ln.tnagal@ofni | +31 (0)41 3224 106
My organization does not use the IPMA methodology. Does certification make sense?
Certainly. IPMA is an international standard for project management competencies. Many companies recognize and value this certification, even if they use a different methodology themselves. It demonstrates that you possess the right knowledge and skills to handle projects in a structured and professional manner.
What if I can't put my project experience on paper properly?
This is one of the biggest frustrations among candidates. It helps to regularly keep notes on your projects: goals, challenges, results, and your own role. With a structured logbook or portfolio, you can summarize this more easily and immediately have a solid foundation for your IPMA documentation.
