PM² Foundation Certification

The PM² supported certification program creates a common understanding of the level of expertise required for managing PM² projects over the boundaries of European institutions and private organizations.

Why certification

Understanding the certification levels

The European Commission has defined two levels of certification. The first level tests candidates’ theoretical knowledge, and the second their ability to put this knowledge into practice. The PM² GROUP certifies theoretical expertise with a Foundation PM² certificate.

To achieve this certification, you need to pass the Foundation exam. This exam is based on the European certification Syllabus that details the covered topics, the required level of understanding, the number of questions, passing score, and exam time. The second (Practitioner) level will be available soon.

Why certify?

Four reasons to become PM² Certified

01

Independent verification of skills

A certification provides acknowledgment of your skills and knowledge. It is a way to independently prove to your (potential) employer that you have the skills you claim to possess.

02

Remain competitive and employable

Studies show that 90% of employers use certification as a reliable indicator of a good candidate in the hiring process — a benchmark for the required skills level, understanding and knowledge.

03

Remain flexible in your job options

Switching jobs to obtain better conditions and opportunities is a constant factor in people’s careers. Certifying your knowledge creates a competitive advantage in the job market.

04

Benefit from shared knowledge

Through best practices, professionals share knowledge accepted as most effective for a particular problem. Learning and certifying it improves your effectiveness and lets you develop the practice further.
