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 transfer 

of the IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) to the National Competence Baseline (NCB) or the direct 

usage of IPMA’s ICB in the Certification Bodies Rules. The own assessors are trained during the first 

certification cycle with the assistance of an experienced assessor from an existing certification body. 

The IPMA approved first assessors are responsible for the validity of the system until the first validation 

process with the standard validation procedure is done by IPMA. 

The list of the certificates is not a part of the IPMA Certification Yearbook. The list is on the IPMA website 

(www.ipma.ch). Certificants can be searched and identified by name, country, level of their actual 

certificate with date of issue and expiry date. The list is updated at least every six months. 

In the year 2005: 

• The IPMA level descriptions and the streamlined pyramid figure were applied worldwide as a basis 

for the training and certification of project management personnel. 

• The certification bodies of thirty national member associations were in operation. The great performance 

and the continuing high growth rates of the leading countries demonstrate how much 

potential is in the system. 

• The IPMA validation with the standard IPMA validation procedure was finished in Finland and 

Russia. 

• The individual certificates, the reduced version of the IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) and the 

Certification Yearbook 2004 was available on the IPMA website. 

• IPMA’s large development project for revising the ICB during the years 2004 and 2005 is completed, 

the revised ICB will be published in May 2006. 

• Again a great quantitative growth in the project management certification was realised in the year 

2005. Until the end of 2005 about 45'500 certificates were awarded in total. 

• The IPMA four level certification system is continuing to animate a great professional development 

of the IPMA Member Associations and their members. 

The ICB as a global standard, the National Competence Baselines, the certification programmes of the 

national certification bodies and the global companies cooperating with IPMA are major flywheels for 

the project management promotion world-wide. 

Other empowering components are the bilateral co-operations between existing certification bodies 

and certification bodies that start a new programme. 

More and more project 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 companies and the project 

management competence of their personnel.

3 Four Level Certification Programmes 

3.1 Overview 

The International Project Management Association (IPMA) is a non-profit organisation, whose function 

is to be the prime promoter of project management (PM) internationally. 

IPMA started in 1965, under its former name of INTERNET, as a forum for the exchange of experience 

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 40 

member associations serve the specific needs of project management professionals in their own country 

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 development, 

education and training, standards and certification as well as conferences, seminars and 

workshops supported by a range of publications. In addition to its member associations, there are a 

number of other cooperating organisations and individual members who work with IPMA to promote 

project management internationally. 

An individual or company automatically supports IPMA if they become a member of a project management 

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 

• Quarterly Newsletter 

• Reduced entry fee for conferences. 

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 programmes 

in project management were then going to be realised by the Member Associations. 

The certification schemes and systems of the certification bodies (as defined in the ISO/IEC standard 

17024) shall be an incentive for the project managers and the members of the project management 

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 project management 

• last but not least – achieve the project objectives better. 

Version 1.00 / 31.03.2006

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 concerning 

the knowledge and experience in the technical, behavioural and contextual range are assessed. 

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 requirements 

from practice. The IPMA four level certification is now shown as follows:

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. For example, he or she may own an additional 

credential in cost management. 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 international context. 

The levels are suitable for career track and maturity models as well as for personnel development and 

benchmarking programmes of companies and other organisations. 

The IPMA Level D represents the requirements of the professional associations for project management 

knowledge provided by the education and training in project management for its use in practice. 

A member association is responsible for developing and managing its own project management 

qualification and certification processes and scheme and for establishing the national certification 

body. 

IPMA owns and maintains its universal system for validating the national certifications to coordinate 

and harmonise the certifications regarding the IPMA general structure and principles. 

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 principles for an IPMA validated project management qualification and certification are the content 

of the Agreement between IPMA and a member association and the IPMA Certification Regulations 

and Guidelines (ICRG). 

The following stages are the compulsory elements of the qualification and certification processes: 

IPMA Level A 

• application, self-assessment and project portfolio or programme proposal 

• project director report 

• interview 

IPMA Level B 

• application, self-assessment and project proposal 

• project report 

• interview 

IPMA Level C 

• application and self-assessment 

• written exam with direct questions and intellectual tasks 

• interview 

IPMA Level D 

• application and self-assessment 

• written exam with direct questions and open essays 

The organisation, the procedures and the forms shall be described in the documentation of the certification 

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 organisational units are 

• the national certification bodies (CB) which are designated by the member associations (MA) 

and are responsible for the qualification and certification scheme and system 

• the IPMA certification validation panel (CVP), consisting of the representatives of the national 

certification bodies and their assessors, for exchanging experience and making recommendations 

for improving IPMA's harmonisation and validation of the certification schemes and systems 

• the validators who visit the national certification bodies, audit their qualification and certification 

schemes and systems and recommend improvements 

• the IPMA certification validation management board (CVMB) which is operating and improving 

IPMA's universal system for validating the project management qualification and competence 

schemes and systems of the certification bodies 

• the IPMA Executive Board and the IPMA Council of Delegates who make the general decisions 

concerning the qualification and certification system and appoint the management board. 

IPMA maintains a register of all acknowledged certificates of individuals and organisations awarded by 

the bodies for certification of all member associations. 

The certification bodies administer their confidential documentation of the candidates and the personnel 

of the certification body including the assessors. They process the certification and provide the 

information about their qualification and certification scheme and system.

3.5 Worldwide Cooperation 

38 National Associations have now signed the agreement with IPMA about the qualification and certification 

programmes. The certification of project management personnel on several IPMA-levels is in 

operation in 30 countries. Several more countries are on the way to their certification programme 

according to the 4-L-C system of IPMA and other countries are extending their certification programme 

to more IPMA levels. 

In the universal system of IPMA the certification is on four conceptual levels. 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 relevant project management practice. In addition to evidence in writing, the 

candidates present themselves in person to the assessors. 

The qualification and certification processes, schemes and systems are a major point of discussion for 

project management associations around the globe for several years. The main partners in the 

world-wide cooperation for the qualification and certification of project management personnel are 

• IPMA (International Project Management Association) 

• PMI (Project Management Institute) 

• AIPM (Australian Institute for Project Management) 

and the Project Management Society in Japan 

The Steering Committee has organised one or two Global Forum meetings per year as well as meetings 

of international standards committees.

3.8 IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) 

To be professional, the discipline of Project Management has to have rigorous standards and guidelines 

to define the work of the project management personnel. These requirements are defined by 

collecting, processing and institutionalising the accepted and applied competence in project management. 

In the IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB), the knowledge and experience expected from the 

project managers and their staff (project management personnel) are presented by a PM competence 

element descriptions and a taxonomy. 

The ICB contains basic terms, tasks, practices, skills, functions, management processes, methods, 

techniques and tools that are commonly used in project management, as well as advanced knowledge, 

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 

project management. It is the basis for all certification programmes of the national associations and 

their certification bodies that are validated by the International Association of Project Management 

(IPMA). 

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 Project 

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 certification 

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 harmonisation 

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. The emphasis was not on the ranges of project management competence but on the 

competence elements of project management knowledge and experience. 

In 1997 the IPMA Certification Validation Management Board (CVMB) took over the further developments 

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- 



14 


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 Version 2.0 of the ICB was in three languages: English, German and French. It 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 Projektmanagement-Kanon) and AFITEP (the 

French Assessment Criteria). From these National Competence Baselines as much elements as possible 

were adopted or slightly modified. 

The IPMA Competence Baseline is used as a reference basis for all substantial normative documents 

for the IPMA validated qualification and certification schemes as well as for referencing of the project 

management competence in theory and practice (e.g. project management literature, research projects, 

education, training and continuing professional development and reports about the management 

of projects). The ICB reflects the principles for the project management competence assessment that 

are commonly accepted within the IPMA. By consequence, it influences, and is influenced, by developments 

on the national competence baselines. 

Each national association is responsible for establishing its own detailed documents for its qualification 

and certification, especially the National Competence Baseline (NCB). This documentation is valid 

for the certification. A certain freedom shall be available for including national cultures and the advancement 

of the project management competence. On the other hand the IPMA harmonisation is 

responding to the requirements of companies and organisations that are active internationally. 

The ICB Version 2.0 was established in 1999 and consisted 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 impression. 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. However 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 in project 

management 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 

(2006) consists of 46 competence elements (see next page): 

• 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. 

The eye of competence represents the integration of all elements of project management as seen 

through the eyes of the project managers when evaluating a specific situation. The eye also represents
