PMCert Holds June Interviews for asapm Certified Project Manager
PMCert, asapm's independent certification body, will hold assessment interviews later this month for candidates for asapm's Project Manager credential. This certification is equivalent to IPMA's Level C and to GAPPS Level 1.
To be eligible, candidates must meet minimum standards for the management complexity of their projects, and for how much time they have spent managing such projects over the past 5 years. They must also provide documentary evidence that they have met 100% of the 64 defined performance criteria. Although widely used throughout the rest of the world, this performance-based approach is unique in the USA.
Do you think that you are competent as a PM? Do you think that you could prove it to the satisfaction of an independent assessor? If so, be sure to download the Stage 1 Application and submit it as soon as possible to ensure that you will have enough time to prepare your portfolio of evidence before the next round of interviews. Watch the PMCert website for dates and locations.
In addition, applications for asapm's Project Manager credential, equivalent to IPMA Level C and GAPPS Level 1, will be available on the website soon. Assessment interviews for this level of competence assessment will be held at the same time as the Senior Project Manager interviews.
Organizations that wish to have multiple project managers assessed in one location may be eligible for reduced rates. Contact Bill Duncan, PMCert Chair, for more information.
We have also held multiple exams for our knowledge-based credential, equivalent to IPMA Level D. With much of the scoring based on open-ended essay questions, this examination provides a high degree of assurance that the successful candidate is truly knowledgeable about the discipline of project management.
Explore the PMCert website for more information about certifying PM Competence; review the asapm website for tools and insights into developing PM Competence.
