List of IPMA Member Associations with the corresponding Certification Bodies
IPMA provides quality assurance of its certification system operated by Certification Bodies, which are part of IPMA Member Associations (MAs).
Certification Body (CB) is an organizational entity that certifies persons against IPMA standards and requirements. Its primary function is to ensure that IPMA assessments are conducted in an appropriate manner using defined criteria for evaluation of individuals’ competence in project management.
Through the validation process IPMA ensures that the CBs operating the IPMA-4-L-C system do it in a consistent, comparable and reliable manner such that a Candidate that is certified by one CB would be certified by any other CB.
Below is the list of the IPMA Member Associations and the corresponding Certification Bodies. The list is being updated on a regular basis by the IPMA Certification and Validation Management Board (CVMB).
Please contact the MA and/or CB for more details concerning the IPMA certification or any other enquiries.
For any other questions and updates to the List, please contact IPMA Support Office for Certification.
