What is the difference between the Cert. Project Manager and the Cert. Senior Project Manager certification?

The content of the exam is the same for both certifications, i.e. the respective test is generated randomly from the same pool of questions. During the certification as Cert.

Senior Project Manager (IAPM) must have at least five years of practical experience in project management in addition to his specialist knowledge.
