You can start the re-certification process six months before your certificate expires, and it must be completed no later than six months after the expiration date. You can read more information about signing up here.

When completing the Certification renewal document, use the 'Explanation' document. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to correctly fill out the form. 

In the Certification renewal document, you must include activities that demonstrate your project management skills. Examples include:

Are you a member of the professional association IPMA-NL? Then your membership counts for 15 hours per full year of membership. We assume that, as an IPMA member, you regularly attend lectures, conferences, and seminars organized by IPMA-NL. 

These referees will receive an email from us. In this email, the referee is asked to complete a short questionnaire. In this questionnaire, the referee is asked about his/her experiences with you regarding performance in projects. Completing it takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Alternatively, one or two referees may be contacted by telephone by your assessor. The telephone call usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

After completion of the entire process, you will receive the results of your recertification by email. Along with the results, you will also receive the completed reference survey.

After uploading your Certification renewal document and completing the referee assessment, we will forward everything to the assessor. The assessor has four weeks to reach a decision. In case of doubt, they may request additional information from you.
