In Finland, Association of Project Professionals offers international
IPMA® Certifications in four domains: project, programme, portfolio and agile
leadership. In project and agile leadership there are four
levels (Level A, B, C and D), in programme and portfolio there
are two levels in each – levels A and B.
The lowest level, Level D, certification is meant for those who do not
yet have or have very little experience in leading projects. Just having theoretical
knowledge is enough. To reach
the highest level, Level A, you need to have several years’ worth of experience
and proof of leading very complex and strategic projects. Other certificates’
requirements fit in between these two.
All together IPMA’s certification system has 12 competence profiles or
roles each with their own professional title. The table below shows all IPMA’s
competence profiles by level and domain.
