Certifications

Project management certifications
The three certifications belong to the leadership field Project Management and build on the same competence model.

The entry-level certificate: foundational project management knowledge and an understanding of typical project situations.

IFoBL Business Leader
Leaders with responsibility across team boundaries

More than an exam
Many certifications check whether candidates know methods, terms or processes. We want to understand how leaders actually act in complex project situations. That is why the process consists of reflection, evidence of knowledge and a personal conversation.
