What does a certification in Project Management entail?
Certifications in project management were created to meet two related needs:
  • Companies wanted to make sure that project managers working for them could justify their experience, knowledge and know-how in project management. The clients of a project often require that the project manager hired be certified.
  • Project managers want their experience and their ability in managing a project successfully to be recognized.

There are three internationally recognized certifications:


  • The PMI® certification
  • The IPMA certification
  • The PRINCE2 certification

There are about 1'000'000 certified project managers in the world, a figure that grows by 25% every year.
