The self-test is a stand-alone test that is independent of the actual certification exam. The self-test consists of 25 questions that must be answered within 20 minutes. It gives you the opportunity to prepare for the certification exam in the form of a preparatory test. The self-test is not an exam and the result will not affect your final exam score. It is designed to help you identify areas of deficiency in your knowledge. For a self-test related to your desired certification, you can register here. There is a charge for taking the test. Once you have completed the self-test, you will receive an e-mail from us within three working days with the five areas in which you scored the lowest points and recommendations on how you can close any gaps in your knowledge. You can then decide whether to take your certification exam now, or to study on your own or attend a preparatory training course at one of our IAPM Training Partners. Please note that you can only take the self-test once and that the access link to the self-test is valid for 12 months from the date of registration. In the case of the Certified Junior Project Manager (IAPM) or Certified Junior Agile Project Manager (IAPM) certification, the preparatory test is called a "pre-test", and the cost of the pre-test is already included in the certification fee for the Certified Junior Project Manager (IAPM) or Certified Junior Agile Project Manager.

For ecological and sustainability reasons, we no longer offer printed certificates, i.e. our certificates are only available in digital form. Therefore, it is unfortunately not possible to send you the certificate by mail. Furthermore, as an internationally operating organisation, a worldwide shipment is linked to some challenges for us. Even if you are located in Liechtenstein, we unfortunately cannot make any exceptions. However, you can have your certificate printed on high-quality paper on your own and show this certificate to your manager or when applying for a job. Your certificate can of course be validated.
