The PM² Expert Certification is comprised of three parts: a online Training, an online Case Assessment and an online Exam.
1) The PM² Expert Training is delivered as 3x3hr online sessions which cover Advanced PM² Concepts and discussions.
2) The PM² Expert Case Assessment part of the PM² Expert Certification has a duration of approximately 10 weeks and is conducted 100% online through the PM² Alliance online platform. During this period a candidate builds their PM² plans while the assessment instructor provides guidance, tips and tricks, and answers candidate’s questions.
The assessment is completed with the submission of the documented PM² project based on the following PM² Artefacts templates: Project Initiation Request, Business Case, Project Charter, Project Handbook, Project Work plan, Business Implementation Plan, the Project Logs and Project Status Report.
Candidates are invited to propose their own real projects (even completed ones). After approval of the proposed case, candidates submit their PM² plans one by one for review by the assessment instructor whose feedback can be even incorporated into the final deliverables before they are scored.
