About IPMA Certification
There are 4 levels in the IPMA 4-L-C System – Levels A, B, C and D. The IPMA level definitions are constructed against the following core criteria:
- Level A is constructed in terms of the leadership of others in very complex projects throughout the life cycle at a strategic level. This also applies to portfolio and programme management roles and life cycles (where applicable).
- Level B is constructed in terms of the leadership of others in complex projects throughout the life cycle. This also applies to portfolio and programme management roles and life cycles (where applicable).
- Level C is constructed in terms of the management of others in projects of moderate complexity throughout the life cycle through the application of knowledge/theory across all relevant competences.
- Level D is constructed in terms of knowledge across all relevant competences only.
