The IDPM is a post experience qualification, aimed at people who have already amassed varying degrees of project management, or goal/target management experience.
The assessments are work-based, so a personal project must be agreed at the outset to facilitate the assessment process. Candidates can then work towards their Diploma with minimum disruption to their real-work project, and no loss of earnings.
The IDPM has been in continuous development since its launch in 1998. More than 11000 project managers World-wide have received the coveted Cambridge Award.
The project management standards enshrined within the IDPM are based criteria developed professional institutes, international methodologies, donor funding agencies and The Global Alliance for Project Performance (GAPPS) (www.globalpmstandards.org).
GAPPS - Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards
The purpose of the GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR PROJECT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS initiative is to develop agreed frameworks as a basis for review, development, and recognition of local standards that will facilitate mutual recognition and transferability of project management qualifications. It is intended that the framework and associated standards be freely available for use by businesses, academic institutions, professional associations, and government standards and qualifications bodies globally.
As project management has become a more widely used management approach, both public and private sector entities have become interested in standards that describe levels of acceptable workplace performance. Many of these entities operate across national boundaries and are thus interested in standards and qualifications that are transferable. Governments, concerned with ensuring an internationally competitive workforce, and individuals, desiring greater mobility, are also interested in the mutual recognition and transferability of qualifications.
