We chose ISO 21500 & 21502 over other potential certificates because they represent a foundation for all other standards and have come about through intense negotiations between project organizations worldwide. In this respect, the ISO standards represent a common language to understand and engage in projects.

To obtain the certificate you must pass our course. In addition, you must pass a multiple-choice test demonstrating your mastery of the project management frameworks and concepts delineated in the standard. If you pass the test, you will receive a certificate electronically, which gets registered in the DS database of certified project managers. DS maintains the website for the certification. It includes information on upcoming tests, registration for the test and a list of the persons holding the certificate.
