Organisations and business of today need personnel with solid project management competence. Certified project
managers know how to deliver with quality, faster and less expensively. The IPMA certification, reviews a portfolio
of evidence to assure end –to-end project management grasp. It is performance based and provides standards by
which project management performance can be measured. Taking IPMA advanced certi  cation provides con  dence
to clients that the company can handle the clients’ business e# ciently and cost e" ectively. It also provides positive
proof that the individual concerned has gained peer recognition of his/her ability to manage projects.

Three recently accredited IPMA Level B professionals – each from radically different sectors - explains the rationale for
pursuing this qualification.

Achieving Level B Certi  cation is important because my experience and success as
a Project Manager is formally recognised with an international qualification. The
certification process has been a great personal learning experience involving review of
my career record of delivering projects of an increasingly more complex nature. In today’s competitive business environment having Level B Certification illustrates my practical experience and knowledge which adds value to my skills in the eyes of my employers.

Project Management is becoming more important in dealing effectively with the
management of change and the successful implementation of new products within
organisations. My role within Boston Scientific is to lead platform and breakthrough
product development projects, and lead continuous improvement within the project
management organisation.

My achievement in attaining IPMA Level B Certification will help promote the profession
of Project Management within the Medical Device sector. I hope it will encourage others
within the medical device sector to develop their project management skills and select
project management as a career path.

During my Project Management career, I have managed projects across a number of
countries, industries and cultures. With this experience, I’ve been fortunate to have had
the opportunity to apply my skills as a Project Manager in many different ways, and to
continue learning the art of Project Management.

Having now achieved IPMA Level B Certified Senior Project Manager, this formal appraisal of my skills and competencies is an important and portable certification that is recognised worldwide. I can be confident in the knowledge that my IPMA Certification helps validate the skills and level of Project Management expertise that I bring to my customers.
