CERTIFIED SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER
(IAPM)
Cert. Project Manager (IAPM) is a certi-
fication level for candidates with a basic
knowledge of project management. This
knowledge is necessary to theoretically
plan, organise and implement a project ef-
fectively. The PM Guide 2.0 forms the basis
for the knowledge questions. The examina-
tion covers both the hard and soft factors
of project management. It is not necessary
to provide proof of project management ex-
perience to take this level of certification.
Obviously, however, project management
experience is an advantage.
CERTIFIED
PROJECT MANAGER (IAPM)
Cert. Senior Project Manager (IAPM) is
geared to project managers with at least
five years of experience in the field of
project management, three of which in
a senior position or a position with major
responsibilities. All information about pro-
jects provided by the applicant is checked
by the IAPM.
Even national projects can be highly com-
plex because they involve team members
with very different backgrounds and ob-
jectives. In fact, projects are by definition
complex undertakings. So the project
manager’s role is even more challenging in
international projects because of legal, po-
litical and cultural differences, all of which
have a massive impact on infrastructure,
communication between project team
members and their understanding of the
project.
If you already have an IAPM certificate
(Certified Project Manager or Certified Ag-
ile Project Manager) and want to obtain
confirmation of your international project
management competence, Certified Inter-
national Project Manager is the ideal certi-
fication for you.
