IPMA C Certification Preparation Training in English
You are well prepared for the IPMA C certification exam by taking this course, as this training is based on the content and structure of the Individual Competence Baseline 4.0 (ICB) - which is the basis for the IPMA C written exam. In this training you go through ICB 4.0 section by section. Thus you deepen your project planning and execution skills as a project manager.
If you are in charge of large projects, it is important that you have the right methods and processes in place to have proper control of your work. But how to stay focused if you manage wide range of topics. The International Project Management Association (IPMA) has designed IPMA C Level certification so that you can demonstrate that you have the skills needed for advanced project management.
The IPMA C certification tests are organized by the Project Management Association of Finland (PRY). Getting IPMA C certified requires that you pass both a written exam and a workshop successfully. Because the IPMA certification process is rather expensive, it makes sense to prepare for it by participating on a certification training.
We offer IPMA C certification training also in Finnish, see here.
