The Certified Project Management Diploma is an IPMA® Level D qualification — an internationally recognised entry-level credential for project management professionals. It is designed for those building their PM career rather than those with several years of experience already. Many professionals use it as a structured foundation before progressing to senior-level certifications.
The course fee covers all costs associated with the exams and certifications, access to all course materials on the Student Hub, live virtual classes led by subject matter experts, recordings, and unrestricted help from our Student Support team.
There are two methods of payment:
The course is offered in three formats: live online, classroom, and On Demand. The live online and classroom formats meet once a week for three hours, whereas the On Demand format’s lectures are pre-recorded and can be accessed any time. Each format uses the same content, materials, and Student Hub.
The Certified Project Management Diploma programme is ideal for someone learning the fundamentals and critical project management methods. Any professional who directly contributes to projects, whether project managers now or in the future, should take this course.
Two written assignments — a self-assessment and a written project — and a 3-hour online exam with Multiple-Choice and Scenario-style questions are used to evaluate students’ progress in the course.
Classes take place once per week for three hours. The core material and reflecting on your learning should take 4 to 6 hours per week. As you can see, though, this greatly depends on each person’s ability.
