PMCert Certification Program Status
1st Quarter, 2006 update by Stacy Goff
PMCert has made significant progress toward implementing the Internationally recognized Four-Level Certification program with our first Level B (Certified Senior Project Manager) certification planned for Second Quarter, 2006. Work has progressed under the leadership of Ron Waller for nearly two years and recently handed over to Bill Duncan. While Bill will serve as the Chair of PMCert, asapm's semi-autonomous certification organization, Ron will serve as PMCert's Senior First Assessor.
Bill announced a series of Level D (IPMA Level D® Certified Project Practitioner) examinations planned for Colorado Springs in May, Washington DC in July, and Seattle in October. In addition, one vendor is planning as many as a dozen Workshops, followed by PMCert-proctored IPMA Level D® Certification Exam sessions this year (note that a workshop is not required to take the exam). We suggest that you monitor the PMCert website for Level B interviews and Level D examination details, to be posted as the dates become firm.
PMCert is a volunteer organization that will involve individuals in documenting procedures and practices as well as examination administration. PMCert also has need for individuals in the Schema Committee to work in the development of the remaining levels in the Four-Level Certification Program. If you are involved, you will see first-hand the advancement of project management and its theory and practice. Contact Bill Duncan to learn more.
