1              Preface
The universal IPMA Four Level Certification (4-L-C) system became operational in 1998 officially and
world-wide after several years of development in our national associations.
The certification programme of a member association starts with the nomination of the first assessors,
the establishment of the certification body engaging important sectors of the economy, and the trans-
fer of the IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) to the National Competence Baseline (NCB) or the direct
usage of IPMA‟s ICB by the Certification Body (CB). The own assessors are assisted by an experi-
enced assessor from an existing CB. The IPMA approved first assessors are responsible for the valid-
ity of the system until the first standard validation by IPMA.
In the year 2008:
    The certification bodies of 39 member associations were in operation. The great performance and
    the continuing high growth rates demonstrate how much potential is in IPMA's Certification Sys-
    tem. Next year, the growth seems to be lower due to the financial and economic situation.
    Again a great quantitative growth in the project management certification was realised this year.
    Until the end of 2008 about 91'000 certificates were granted in total.
    The IPMA Level A has been a part of the IPMA Certification System since 1998. It is now recog-
    nised more and more.
    The IPMA validation with the standard IPMA validation procedure was finished in Azerbaijan,
    Croatia, Norway, Romania and Serbia.
    The IPMA revalidation was finished in Switzerland and Portugal (January 2009). Egypt will follow.
    The ICB Version 3.0 was published in June 2006 and got an excellent reception worldwide. It is
    already published in 30 countries using the IPMA certification system.
    The ICRG Version 3.00 was approved by the Council of Delegates in March 2007. The National
    Regulations and Guidelines based on this version is finished in 25 countries.
    The trademarks IPMA®, IPMA Level A®, IPMA Level B®, IPMA Level C®, IPMA Level D® and IPMA
    ICB® are registered in many countries.
    The IPMA four level certification for individuals as well as the IPMA excellence award programme
    for teams are continuing to animate a great and sustainable professional development of the IPMA
    Member Associations and their members.
    IPMA started projects to complement its service package with a certification of PM-consultants
    and the assessment of organisations as well as the registration of education programs.
The ICB as a global standard, the National Competence Baselines, the certification of the national
certification bodies and the global companies cooperating with IPMA are major flywheels for generat-
ing the benefit of project management world-wide.
More and more project, programme and portfolio managers prefer IPMA's four level system which fits
to the personal development and career of individuals as well as to the competitiveness of the compa-
nies and the other organisations.

3.1       Overview
The International Project Management Association (IPMA) is a non-profit organisation, whose function
is to be the prime promoter of project, programme and portfolio management (PM) internationally.
IPMA started in 1965, under its former name of INTERNET, as a forum for the exchange of experi-
ence amongst project managers of international projects. It hosted its first international conference in
1967 in Vienna, and since that time has developed steadily, as indeed has the discipline of project
management itself.
The membership of IPMA is primarily of national project management associations. The about 45
member associations serve the specific needs of project management professionals in their own coun-
try in their own language. IPMA develops those needs at the international and global levels.
To achieve this aim IPMA has developed a number of services encompassing research and devel-
opment, education and training, standards and certification as well as conferences, seminars and
workshops as well as a growing number of publications.
An individual or company automatically supports IPMA if they become a member of a project man-
agement association which is a member of IPMA. If there is no Member Association in a country, then
direct „international‟ membership is available to them and the certification can be done with an existing
certification body.
The benefits of membership include:
      Extensive networking opportunities
      Promotion and support for conferences
      Panels and workshops for exchange of experience
      Internationally recognised qualification and certification
      Participation in international research projects
      International award
      Bi-monthly International Journal

3.2      Certification System

On June 14, 1998 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, the IPMA Council confirmed the establishment of IPMA's
universal four level system which was approved on February 28, 1998 in Bled. The certification in
project, programme and portfolio management was then realised by the certification bodies of the
Member Associations.
The certification schemes and systems of the certification bodies (as defined in the ISO/IEC stan-
dard 17024) shall be an incentive for the project managers and the members of the project manage-
ment teams (i.e. the project management personnel) to
    expand and improve their technical, behavioural and contextual PM competence
    continue their education and experience in PM
    improve the quality of PM
    last but not least – achieve the project, programme and portfolio objectives better.
The benefits of the certification are
    for the project management personnel:
    an internationally acknowledged certificate of their PM competence
    for the suppliers of project management services:
    a demonstration of their employees' professional competence
    for the clients:
    more certainty to get the state-of-the-art services from project management professionals.
For these purposes, a variety of competence elements of the project management personnel con-
cerning the knowledge and experience in the technical, behavioural and contextual range are as-
sessed. IPMA developed the universal four-level concept for the certification processes and scheme.
The certification processes, scheme and system of a certification body that abides by the rules of
IPMA will be validated and revalidated on a regular basis by IPMA.
The main requirements for each level are derived from typical activities, responsibilities and require-
ments from practice. The IPMA four level certification is now shown as follows:

of a complex project in all competence elements of project management.
IPMA Level D®       Certified Project Management Associate
Shall have the knowledge in all competence elements and be able to apply it.
The levels are not restrained to hierarchical thinking. A project management specialist on the IPMA
Level D may be, apart from his fundamental knowledge in project management, a highly qualified,
experienced and recognised expert in a special field. On each level most professional work can be
done for the respective range of tasks and decisions, in a local or regional or national or in an interna-
tional context.
The levels are suitable for career track and maturity models as well as for personnel development and
benchmarking companies and other organisations.
The IPMA Level D represents the requirements of the professional associations for project manage-
ment knowledge provided by the education and training in project management for its use in prac-
tice.
A member association is responsible for establishing the national certification body which operates
and develops its project management certification based on the IPMA certification system.
IPMA owns, maintains an develops its universal certification system and harmonises and validates the
national certifications with the national certification bodies and the member associations.

3.3      General Structure and Principles

The general structure for all levels is shown in the IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) which includes
the description of the PM competence elements and the taxonomy for the assessment of the project
management personnel.
The usage of the IPMA certification system is the content of the Agreement between IPMA and a
member association.
The IPMA Competence Baseline (IPMA ICB®)

contains fundamental terms, tasks, practices, skills, functions, management processes, methods,
techniques and tools that are commonly used in project management, as well as advanced knowl-
edge, where appropriate, of innovative and advanced practices used in more limited situations. The
ICB is not a textbook and not a cookbook. It offers an access to the knowledge and experience in pro-
ject, programme and portfolio management.

The organisation, the procedures and the forms shall be described in the documentation of the certifi-
cation body. They should fulfil the requirements of the standard ISO / IEC 17024. It is recommended
that each certification body is accredited by the national governmental institute which ideally should be
a member of the European Accreditation (EA) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
The following table shows the steps for each IPMA Level that are required or optional for the certifica-
tion process:

The certificate holders provide periodic evidence of their competence maintenance and development
in project, programme and portfolio management. The recertification process evaluates their profes-
sional activities and the continuing development in project, programme and portfolio management.

         President Certification make the general decisions concerning the context of IPMA‟s certifica-
         tion system and appoint the Certification Validation Management Board.
        The IPMA Certification Validation Management Board (CVMB) operates, improves and devel-
         ops IPMA‟s system for the certification of competence in project management as well as the
         corresponding validation.
        The validators visit the Certification Body (CB), audit their certification and identify potential for
         improvement.
        A Global organisation can choose one CB which is responsible for the coordination of the
         processes for the certification in this Global organisation throughout all the countries involved.
        The IPMA Certification System Panel (CSP) is a forum for exchange of experience. It also
         makes recommendations for improving IPMA‟s certification system and validation.
IPMA maintains a register of all acknowledged certificates of individuals and organisations granted by
the bodies for certification of all member associations.

3.5      Worldwide Cooperation

About 40 National Associations have now signed the agreement with IPMA about the usage of the
IPMA Certification System. The certification of project management personnel on several IPMA-levels
is in operation in 39 countries. Several more countries are on the way to their certification according
to the 4-L-C system of IPMA and other countries are extending their certification to more IPMA levels.

In the universal certification system of IPMA, the competence is the demonstrated ability to apply
knowledge, skills, experience and other personal attributes, as defined in the certification scheme. The
assessment is made by experienced and independent experts (assessors) who know well the rele-
vant project management practice. In addition to evidence in writing, the candidates present them-
selves in person to the assessors.
The certification processes, schemes and systems are a major point of discussion for project man-
agement associations around the globe for several years. The main partners in the world-wide coop-
eration for the qualification and certification of project management personnel are

3.9      History

In 1985 the Project Management Institute (PMI) in North America elaborated a „Body of Knowledge
(BOK)“ for Project Management. This document and later versions until the actual „Guide to the Pro-
ject Management Body of Knowledge“ have been the basis for the knowledge test for the Project
Management Professional (PMP).

IPMA (at that time called INTERNET) made an inquiry with their members about the need for certifica-
tion in 1987. The majority of the answers were positive. The leading professional project management
associations were then establishing their baselines for the assessment of project management
competence during the next ten years. The Association of Project Managers (APM) in the United
Kingdom published the first version of its „BOK“ in 1991. In other European countries, similar projects
and development work were done in the first half of the nineties, sometimes in connection with training
material. A general distinction has been made between the processes, the scheme and the system
(responsibilities and procedures) for the certification.
From 1993 the IPMA Certification Core Team (CCT) was charged with the coordination and har-
monisation of the national projects and achievements. A first agreement was elaborated to establish
an international framework for developing the national documents for the certification. In this process
the sunflower was used as an instrument for the harmonisation and finally as the logo for the ICB
Version 2.0.
In 1997 the IPMA Certification Validation Management Board (CVMB) took over the further devel-
opments and the co-ordination of the member associations‟ qualification and certification processes,
schemes and systems. In 1998 the IPMA Council accepted the standard agreement between a mem-
ber association and IPMA and approved the universal four level concept. The ICB was submitted to
the National Associations as version 1.0 for comments in 1998 and then published the first time by
IPMA as version 2.0 in February 1999.
The ICB Version 2.0 was established on the basis of the National Competence Baselines of APM (the
U.K. Body of Knowledge), VZPM (the Swiss Assessment Structure), PM-ZERT (the German Pro-
jektmanagement-Kanon) and AFITEP (the French Assessment Criteria). The ICB Version 2.0 con-
sisted of 42 elements for knowledge and experience in project management (28 core elements and 14
additional elements) as well as 8 aspects for personal attitudes and 10 aspects for the general impres-
sion. IPMA required that all 28 core elements and at least 6 additional elements chosen by the nation
as well as the aspects for personal attitudes and the general impression are accepted in a NCB. How-
ever up to eight of the additional elements for knowledge and experience (i.e. about 20% of the 42

elements) could be eliminated or replaced by new elements for taking the national characteristics and
new developments into account. A minor revision of the ICB was made in April 2001.
A major revision of the ICB started in 2004 and was finished in March 2006. The ICB Version 3.0
(IPMA ICB® 2006) consists of 46 competence elements:
          20 technical competence elements dealing with the project management matter on which
          the professionals are working
          15 behavioural competence elements dealing with the personal relationships between the
          individuals and groups managed in the projects, programmes and portfolios
          11 contextual competence elements dealing with the interaction of the project management
          with the context of the project and within the permanent organisations
For each competence element, the knowledge and the experience are assessed using a scale with
values from 0 (no competence) to 10 (absolute maximum) are used.
