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 worldwide organization of national associations for project management. An important task of these associations is to certify, standardize and accredit 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 thing about IPMA is that it does not stick to a certain pattern. Within IPMA it is more important to move with what a project needs now. The focus point within IPMA is therefore on the competences of the project manager and therefore not so much 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 has 4 levels in which you can become certified. This way there is always a training that matches your level as a project professional. If you are a project employee or a starting project manager, then you choose IPMA dIf you are already further along your career path and have at least 3 years of experience, then IPMA C something 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?
The amount of time you spend on self-study depends on your level certificationAt IPMA D you spend approximately 100-160 hours on self-study.
Can an IPMA certification expire?

My organization does not use the IPMA methodology. Does certification make sense?
Secure. IPMA is an international standard for project management competencies. Many companies recognize and value this certification, even if they use a different methodology themselves. You demonstrate that you have the right knowledge and skills to approach 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 keep regular notes about your projects: goals, challenges, results and your own role. With a structured logbook or portfolio you can summarize this more easily and you have a handle on it for your IPMA-documentation.
