How can an IAPM certification positively influence my professional career?

IAPM certifications are objective, valid worldwide and internationally recognized. As an individual, a certification brings you objective confirmation of your knowledge and experience and thus advantages on the job market. Your market value increases and you have better chances for a position in project management. A company that has its employees certified has clear competitive advantages when preparing offers. Companies whose employees are demonstrably competent in project management are more likely to be hired. In addition, all team members speak the same language because the Project Managers' Guide (IAPM) standardises terms and methods. Misunderstandings due to different interpretations of PM terms are thus avoided. IAPM certificate surveys showed that about a quarter of respondents increased their salary or changed their position in the company after certification.

The IAPM certification

The certification can be taken via a reputable online examination procedure. The costs are based on the gross domestic product of your country of origin.
