IPMA Level C case studies

IPMA Level C® - the Certified Project Manager level in IPMA's four-level certification (4-L-C) scheme - is an international, competence-based credential for project managers. IPMA describes Level C® as aimed at people with 3–5 years of working experience, comparable in level to most internationally used certification schemes, and positions it above Level D® (the starting level) and below Levels B® and A® (for very experienced managers of complex initiatives). Because IPMA certification is competence-based rather than methodology-based, assessment centres on demonstrated competences described in IPMA's global standard, the Individual Competence Baseline (ICB), organised around perspective, people and practice competences. Certification is delivered nationally by IPMA Member Associations and their certifying bodies, in the candidate's own country and language, so the precise assessment format, timing, fees and pass criteria are set locally rather than by a single global exam. The IPMA Level C case studies are 5 cases and about 2,061 words.
