The standard level of certification is open to any applicant, including non-technical personnel, over 18 years of age who can show by way of a written exam that they understood the general principles, practices and terminology associated with the PM industry.
An advanced level certificate will then offered to graduates with a degree or equivalent in science/engineering /technology with at least 10 years active experience in PM (including the PM supply chain).
The examination is available initially in the following languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
The fee for EPMA members is Eur 150 and for non-EPMA members Eur 300, and the certificate is valid for 5 years.
