Opleiding: IPMA D in English
IPMA D provides a thorough theoretical knowledge of both the ‘hard’ instrumental and ‘soft’ social aspects of the project management profession in line with IPMA guidelines.
Ongoing projects are continually changing and require project managers to adapt their approach accordingly. Project managers are successful when they apply the right competencies for the project. IPMA certification is the standard for project managers to develop the required competencies to ensure projects are successful. IPMA D is the track for the novice project manager or the more experienced project employee who needs theoretical underpinning. IPMA D offers excellent opportunities for advancement in project management and in your professional career.
