Project management IPMA®

Certification according to the international standard of the International Project Management Association

What is IPMA?

IPMA is a federation consisting of a network of about 70 member associations. The member associations develop project management skills in their geographical areas of influence, interact with and develop relationships with professionals, businesses, government agencies, universities and colleges, training organizations and consulting firms.

A comprehensive portfolio of products and services supports the development of project management skills.

IPMA is the world's first project management association, founded in 1965. Originally founded as an international network for the exchange of project management experience, the organization developed into a global organization in the 1970s, organizing courses and events. In 1996, the organization was renamed IPMA (International Project Management Association) and began certification.
