What is the difference between IPMA-C and IPMA-D, and when should you choose which?
IPMA-C and IPMA-D are two different certification levels within the IPMA system. IPMA-D is aimed at project staff who are just starting out and mainly tests knowledge of project management: you understand how a project is put together, but you do not yet run one independently. IPMA-C is a level higher and is aimed at project managers who lead complex projects independently, manage a project team and steer on time, money, quality, information and organisation. Our classroom-based IPMA-C course matches that role and covers subjects such as project preparation, risk management, earned value management and project closure. Choose IPMA-D if you are just starting out and want to build up knowledge. Choose IPMA-C if you already have project experience and want to progress towards managing more complex projects independently.
How will I know whether, after the IPMA-C course, I am really ready to lead a complex project on my own, or will I still need experience or guidance afterwards?
The IPMA-C course gives you the framework to manage complex projects: you learn project phasing, risk management, earned value management, control of time, money, quality, information and organisation, and how to manage a project team. That is the theoretical and methodical basis, including preparation for the exam. Whether you then go straight on to lead a complex project independently depends on your practical experience. IPMA-C is designed for project managers and project leaders with some work experience who want to move on to more complex projects. Compare it to a driving licence: you master the rules and techniques, but you build up routine in practice. Many participants apply the material directly to an ongoing project. If you still have little experience, IPMA-D is a more logical first step.
What will I learn in the IPMA-C course that I would not get from a book or self-study?
Self-study helps you understand the IPMA-C theory, but the course adds three things you will not find in a book. First: practising with your own project case. You apply topics such as risk management, earned value management and phasing directly to a project you are actually working on. Second: feedback from an experienced trainer and from fellow participants with comparable challenges, particularly on the behavioural competences such as negotiating, leadership and conflict handling. Those are difficult to learn from a book. Third: targeted exam training on day 5, including recognising how questions are phrased. In the classroom course you systematically work through all the competences that IPMA-C tests, instead of only the parts you are already strong in.
