IPMA® (International Project Management Association) is the world’s first project management association founded in 1965. It runs a certification system based on PROJECT MANAGER roles. It has many years of experience in building a professional competence assessment system for project management. The IPMA 4-L-C international certification system is widely recognised and used by many companies in their recruitment and employee development path-building processes.
IPMA Poland (International Project Management Association Poland) belongs to the federation of national associations of the International Project Management Association (IPMA®). IPMA Poland has 23 years of experience and over 9500 certified Project Managers!
The accreditation of the study programme makes it possible for students and graduates of the second-cycle programme in Design and Project Management to obtain a professional certificate recognised on the job market – the IPMA-Student certificate.
IPMA-Student is a certification programme that DOES NOT REQUIRE project management experience.
IPMA-Student is one of the first steps in building a PROJECT MANAGER career path. IPMA-Student is an introduction to the 4-level IPMA® certification system (IPMA 4-L-C). Each level verifies new skills, competencies and aptitudes of a project manager.
The IPMA-Student Certificate is not only a summary of academic education in project management but, above all, an objective and employer-recognisable certificate of competence, which is universal regardless of the industry. The IPMA-Student certificate is valid indefinitely and does not require recertification.
To obtain the IPMA-Student certificate, students need to take a certification exam to confirm their competencies.
The certification exam is open to students and graduates (no later than one year from graduation) of second-cycle studies in Design and Project Management who have obtained credit for the courses covered by the accreditation and paid the examination fee to IPMA Poland.
The cost of he IPMA-Student certification exam is 300 PLN gross, which is less than 25% of the cost of the lowest certification level in the IPMA 4-L-C certification system – the IPMA-D certificate (Certified Project Management Associate). If you take the IPMA-D certification within one year of obtaining the IPMA-Student certification, you will receive a discount on the IPMA-D exam price equal to the cost of the IPMA-Student exam.
The IPMA-Student certification exam is organised by the Faculty of Management, either directly at the Faculty or online.
The certification exam is a test with 104 single-choice questions on the 26 IPMA Competency Elements – 4 questions per Competency Element as defined in the IPMA-Student Guide ed. 2.0. The pass mark for a single Competency Element is the correct answer to at least 2 of the 4 questions. To obtain the IPMA-Student certificate, a minimum of 80% of the Competency Elements must be passed.
Projects are all around us – in business, the public sphere and everyday life. The labour market is looking for people with project management knowledge, competencies and skills, who are prepared to work in interdisciplinary project teams. The profession of PROJECT MANAGER is one of the most attractive and promising in the labour market!
