Project management certification has now become a standard in recruiting individuals for project management roles. Freelancers and IT professionals can raise their profiles and CVs by simply achieving a project management designation to be used after their name. Freelancers and IT professionals are involved in projects in their every day life. Customers and stakeholders may highly value individuals with project management education and designation.
Certified Project Management Analyst (CPMA) certification revolves around the Project Management Analysis (PMA) framework. It teaches individuals about project selection, people management, risk management, planning, budgeting, scheduling, and project monitoring.
CPMA certification has been recognized as a Level 7 qualification on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) and a Level 5 qualification on the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
One needs to appear for a computer-based MCQ exam to get the CPMA credential and pass it with a minimum of 60% marks in it. The current CPMA exam fee is £149 and the fee for every re-sit exam is just £49. The current annual maintenance fee (AMF) stands at £49.
It is not easy for every freelancers and IT professionals to afford this much recurring fee. The certification exam preparation requires a study of between two to three months and not everyone can afford to devote this much time. But those who are willing to consider it should learn more about it from the IQN website.
Interested candidates can either study independently or attend classes organized by IQN registered centers. Two options for entry into a CPMA certification program are a Bachelor’s degree or diploma with 1-year work experience & a high school diploma or school qualification with 2 years of work experience.
