Step 1: Fulfill Eligibility Criteria: All IPMP certifications require you to meet domain experience levels, educational levels or both before you apply. You will need to provide us with the details of this experience and/or education, so it’s best to gather and prepare this information before you open the application. To find out the eligibility requirements, consult the membership portal on the navigation for the certification that interests you. Each one has unique eligibility criteria.
Step 2. Complete Application: Once you’ve determined you meet the eligibility criteria, it’s time to apply. Collect the following information and then use our Certificate Via Experience to guide you through the process.

- Domain experience — details of the projects, programs, portfolios you’ve worked on including qualifying hours, dates of employment, role, organization details, reference, and experience summary

Step 3. Application Review: Once we receive your application, we’ll verify that you meet the eligibility criteria and that your experience and/or education is valid and consistent with the guidelines stated in the Certificate Via Experience.

IPMP conducts application audits to confirm the experience and/or education documented on certification applications. The purpose of the audit is to enhance the credibility of the certification program and of the certification holders. Read Frequently Asked Questions about the application audit process.
