PMD Pro Qualification Scheme
The PMD Pro certification is offered at three levels:
Level 1 (PMD Pro1) is intended as an introduction to those new to project management, but will also serve as a refresher for those with experience working in a project-based environment. In addition to the traditional project management processes, tools and techniques, the "Conceptual Design" process group is introduced, in recognition that Project Managers working in the Development sector are held accountable for needs assessment and programme design and monitoring at the Outcomes / Objectives level as well as the Outputs / Deliverables level. The emphasis in this level is topics most likely to be used in an NGO setting.
Level 1 was launched in April 2010 - view videos from the first pilot exams taken.
Level 2 (PMD Pro2) is made up of an internationally-recognised entry-level project management certification (currently the Certified Associate of Project Management or the PRINCE2® Foundation), plus contextualised components which are more specific to the Development sector.
Level 3 (PMD Pro3) is made up of an industry-recognised project management certification (currently the Project Management Professional or PRINCE2 Practitioner) plus the contextualised components from Level 2 and an assessment of experience, which focuses on evidence that the candidate is able to apply his or her project management knowledge effectively.
