Before pursuing any certification, it's advisable to research thoroughly, understand the requirements, and consider how the certification aligns with your career aspirations.
Re-certification
The re-certification period for levels A to D is due 5 years after initial certification. IPMA re-certification follows the same process for levels A, B and C; however, re-certification for Level D requires the candidate to rewrite the Level D exam.
​
It is therefore recommended that Level D candidates consider certification at Level C or higher. Should you wish to apply for re-certification please contact us via contact form.
