Certification is aimed at assessing an individual's competence in managing projects.
Competence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills in the appropriate context. Certification is a test of competence and not academic achievement. As the Association draws its members from a wide variety of industries it is not possible to define a suitable project in terms of scale and complexity. A person with experience of only Level One projects should not apply for Certification. You cannot switch projects between Stage One and Stage Two.
