The IPMA eye of competence

The IPMA eye of competence symbolises the human being, which is the most important part of our candidate assessment. It also symbolises the combination of the three competence ranges considered in the assessment: behavioural, contextual and technical.

Each IPMA certification candidate is individually assessed by independent assessors. Interpersonal skills and personal qualities are considered alongside with the own project management experience and knowledge qualifications.

The people-based assessment and combination of competence areas makes the IPMA certification unique.

It gives a broader picture of each candidate’s competence and enables companies to match the right project manager with the right project, based on their strengths.
