All questions and answers on the subject "Certification costs"

The fees are indicated in the customary notation of the country and, since the IAPM is a Liechtenstein organisation, commas are used as decimal separators instead of dots. The same spelling is also used in IAPM invoices (e.g. 95,00 CHF instead of 95.00 CHF).

Accessing the PM Guides is free of charge. There are no fees.

You can pay your bill in the desired currency at the current daily rate in form of a bank transfer or via PayPal.

You will receive your invoice by e-mail. The postal service is excluded.

Your certificate is valid a lifetime, such as a university degree or high school diploma. Each certificate documents the level of knowledge of the examinee at the time of the test acceptance. The IAPM believes that every responsible project manager independently expands his knowledge and experience. The IAPM does not see itself as a supervisory body. For this reason, it deliberately avoids costly and time-consuming recertifications.

If your certificate recognition is rejected by the IAPM, you will not be charged.

To repeat a certification exam, you must re-enroll for certification. The cost of the test will be re-incurred. If you do not pass this exam, there will be a waiting period of 12 months. If you fail the test again, you will not be eligible for IAPM certification exams and will not be able to repeat it again.

Here you can see the cost of certification as Cert. International Project Manager (IAPM) depending on your citizenship.

The IAPM is committed to imparting practical knowledge. It deliberately distances itself from purely academic teaching content and is oriented towards what is required for active project work. This also includes the compatibility of the examination preparation with everyday work. The reduction of the teaching content to the essentials as well as self-organised learning make this possible. In addition, IAPM avoids costly recertification. An IAPM certification is valid for life, just like a university degree, driver's licence or high school diploma does not have to be repeated. Furthermore, the IAPM wants to give as many people as possible the opportunity to afford a certification. Therefore, the respective citizenship or the gross domestic product of this country decides on the amount of the costs for the certification.

As the seat of the IAPM is in Liechtenstein, the currency shown on the invoices is the Liechtenstein national currency. This is the Swiss Franc (CHF).

The IAPM is an international association and takes this circumstance account. On the basis of their real life situation, people worldwide should be able to take the opportunity to have their knowledge and experience certified in project management. Therefore, the prices for IAPM certifications are based on the gross domestic product of the country whose citizenship the prospective examnee holds. The IAPM also offers people from countries with weak GDP the possibility of certification.

IAPM requires proof of citizenship to calculate the cost of your certification. This proof is provided by handing in the identity card number.

Each certificate and each examination result documents the state of knowledge at the time of the examination acceptance. Like a high school diploma, a university degree or a driver's license, an IAPM certificate does not have to be renewed. The IAPM believes that every responsible project manager independently expands his knowledge and experience. The IAPM does not see itself as a supervisory body. For this reason, it deliberately avoids costly and time-consuming recertifications.
