IPMA Level D

IPMA Level D Training, Coaching and Delivery

IPMA Level D is an internationally recognised entry level project management certification built around the IPMA Individual Competence Baseline (ICB), focused on the knowledge and behaviours that underpin professional project delivery.

Andrew Sills is an IPMA Level D Trainer, supporting learners preparing for assessment and partnering with training providers and corporate academies delivering IPMA aligned programmes.

About the Certification

What IPMA Level D Is and Who It Is For

IPMA Level D, Certified Project Management Associate, is awarded by the International Project Management Association. It is based on the IPMA Individual Competence Baseline, which describes the perspective, people and practice competences required of a professional project manager.

Assessment is competence based rather than purely method based. Candidates demonstrate knowledge of project management across context, behaviour and technical practice, making it a strong foundation for a long term career in the profession.

IPMA Level D is suitable for new and aspiring project managers, project team members, coordinators, technical specialists moving into project roles and professionals seeking an internationally recognised project management qualification.

Organisations use the IPMA framework to develop project management capability in a consistent, internationally benchmarked way, providing a clear progression route through Levels D, C, B and A as people grow in seniority and experience.
