COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
& CAREER LAUNCHING PAD
Our certifications are independent, inter-
nationally valid and recognised. An organi-
sation that employs certified personnel and
communicates this has obvious competi-
tive advantages in the market. Companies
with personnel who have certified project
management competence are given pref-
erence in contract awarding processes.
Another advantage is that project manag-
ers with the same certification all speak
the same language. The “PM Guide 2.0“,
the “Agile PM Guide 2.0“ and the “Inter-
national PM Guide 2.0“ contribute to the
standardisation of project management
terminology and methods. This helps to
avoid misunderstandings and prevents di-
verging interpretations of project manage-
ment-specific terms and communication
problems.
On the other hand, certification also pro-
vides project managers with objective
confirmation of their knowledge and expe-
rience, and therefore puts them at an ad-
vantage in the labour market. They have a
stronger case and a better chance of being
offered a project management job. Certifi-
cation can also open career doors within
the employee’s own organisation.
FAIR PRICES
The IAPM is an international association
and, as such, it is committed to catering to
the needs of project managers all over the
world. It wants people to have the opportu-
nity to obtain certification as verification of
their project management knowledge and
experience at a fair price that reflects their
real life situation. That’s why our certifica-
tion fees are geared to the gross domestic
product of the country in which the cer-
tification candidate is a citizen. This fee
structure guarantees that people of all na-
tions can afford project management certi-
fication. It is also transparent, because we
list all the individual certification fees on
our website.
