PMD Pro Level 2
Level 2 comprises elements of an internationally-recognised entry-level project management certification plus contextualised components which are more specific to the development sector.
- Part 1 - Project Management for Development Professionals Contextualised Exam
This tests your knowledge of topics specific to the NGO Sector. The online exam consists of 75 multiple choice questions and you will need to achieve 50% to pass.
- Part 2 - Professional Project Management equivalent
You will be required to hold either the Project Management Institute's ('PMI's') Certified Associate of Project Management ('CAPM') certificate, IPMA-D or the PRINCE2 Foundation certification or higher (other acceptable certifications may be included at a future date).
You will be issued with a part certificate on completion of the PMD Pro Level 2 Contextualised Exam. In order to achieve the PMD Pro Level 2 Full Certificate, you will have to send either a scanned copy or a copy in the post of your certificate to APMG-International for validation. Once this has been validated a full PMD Pro Level 2 certificate will be issued.
PMD Pro Level 3
Level 3 is still to be developed. It comprises an industry-recognised project management certification plus the contextualised components from Level 2 and an assessment of experience, which focuses on evidence that you are able to apply your project management knowledge effectively.
