Competency Assessment

Performance Measurement
We will work with you to:
PMI Certification
The Project Management Institute (PMI) is a US certification process, founded around the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK). There are three levels of PMI certification:
To be eligible for the PgMP credential, you must meet specific guidelines that objectively measure experience, education and professional knowledge, and undergo a rigorous application process as well as three assessments. You also must agree to adhere to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.
The education experience requires the candidates to undertake a variety of training courses whilst gaining practical experience of delivering projects and programmes over several years.
The SPM handbook is similar in purpose to the PMBoK sourcebook which explains 'what to do' in project management. The SPM Handbook differs in that it explains what to do and 'how to' manage projects. It comes with an integrated toolkit that enables people to immediately put their learning into practice.
All of Verdandi's learning counts to the total education experience needed to gain PMI certification. Once sufficient training points and experience are gained it just requires candidates to study thePMBoK and pass the exam to gain Certified Associate status. www.pmi.org
PRINCE2 Qualification
PRINCE2 Qualification requires separate training aimed specifically at learning the PRINCE2 framework. www.prince2.com
APM Qualification
The Association of Project Managers offers qualifications for Project Managers based on its own sourcebook. www.apm.org.uk
ISEB Qualification
The Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB) in the UK has approved SPM as a suitable foundation methodology for candidates seeking qualifications in project management involving IT development and implementation. www.bcs.org/iseb
