Place, date / Signature1.2PM Self-assessment
General notes on self assessment of PM competence:
Before applying for IPMA LEVEL C you should have :
- at least 36 months (equivalent 540 days) ACTUAL experience in project management
- at least 24 months (equivalent 360 days) (from those 36 months) ACTUAL experience as sole responsible project manager in minor complex projects. (PM activities and other related activities will be counted).
PM competence is divided into three competence areas:
- Technical competences
- Contextual competences
- Behavioural competences
Each PM competence element combines both knowledge and experience.
The PM Self-Assessment must be completed accurately and truthfully. It therefore requires some time.
The level of PM competence is calculated in the self-assessment by means of a taxonomy (see ICB) from 0 to 10, where 10 is the highest possible level. In order to perform a meaningful self-assessment, it is necessary to read and understand completely the description of each competence element in the ICB Version 3. and the Hellenic PM competence Baseline. On the basis of these descriptions, the candidate's competence with regard to knowledge is to be assessed. The taxonomy in the ICB supports the evaluation and assignment of values.
In particular, please read carefully section 3.3. of the ICB and especially Table 3.14 and Appendix 2 before completing your PM Self-Assessment. Please note that an averageknowledge of around 5 out of 10 and an averageexperience of around 4 out of 10 is expected for this level (see also Table 3.13).
Through the PM self assessment, the certification candidate evaluates his/her own project management knowledge.
Please fill in the tables below describing how you estimate your knowledge and experiencewith regard to the corresponding competence elements.
Summarize, by using keywords, how you estimate your knowledge and experiencefor each area of competence (approximately half a page for each); for very high and very low values, please provide an explanation.
Important Notice: Your application for certification cannot be processed without a fully completed application form and PM self assessment! Partially filled forms will be rejected!Do not leave any questions unanswered!
