  • Intake

    Prior to the training, you complete an intake form, answering a number of questions about your specific personal situation. These questions will help you clearly define your development goal.

  • Theory and Competencies

    This course covers the basics of project management and the associated competencies. The theory does not follow the order of the book, but is a mix of professional, context-specific and behavioural competencies as experienced in the workplace.

  • Experienced trainer

    The training is provided by an experienced project manager with broad practical experience in IPMA requirements.

  • Exam Preparation

    Because you can study the theory beforehand (through a video series and the book), the meetings provide an additional opportunity for practice-based learning. You will work on group and individual assignments focused on your practical situation, among other things.
