[10]:
• Certified Project Management Associate
(IPMA Level D): »Shall have project management knowledge in all competence elements;
that means that the person is able to apply
project management knowledge when he or
she participates in a project in any capacity
and common knowledge is not sufficient to
perform at a satisfactory level of competence.«
• Certified Project Manager (IPMA Level C):
»Shall be able to manage projects with limited
complexity and/or to manage a sub-project of
a complex project in all competence elements
of project management; that means that the
person is able to lead a project with limited
complexity which signifies that he or she has
demonstrated the corresponding level of experience in addition to the ability to apply project management knowledge.«
• Certified Senior Project Manager (IPMA Level
B): »Shall be able to manage complex projects
for which the criteria are defined. Subprojects
are normal, i. e. the project manager is managing by sub-project managers rather than leading the project team directly.«
• Certified Projects Director (IPMA Level A):
»Shall be able to manage portfolios or programmes; that means that the person is able to
direct an important portfolio or programme,
with the corresponding resources, methodologies and tools, that is the subject of the certification rather than the management of a single
project. To take this responsibility an advanced level of knowledge and experience would
be required.«
