Specialist Certifications Across PPM & PMOs

AIPMO’s specialist courses across PMOs, projects, programs, and portfolios have been developed from AIPMO’s “PMO and Services Capabilities” initiative, which outlines more than 200 PMO services. These services have been identified from thousands of PMOs, whose members have been trained on AIPMO partner courses or through AIPMO’s ACEs observations or research findings.

AIPMO’s specialist courses are designed not only for PMO professionals, aiding in the development of PMO service capabilities, but also for professionals engaged in or associated with projects, programs, and portfolios. All AIPMO PMO/project management specialist courses contribute towards achieving your or your team’s AIPMO specialist certification level. These courses are aligned with AIPMO’s “PMO Services and Capabilities” catalog, thereby supporting project professionals working within structured project environments.

AIPMO offers the PMO/PM specialist accreditation with five specialist levels – IPMO-S1 to IPMO-S5, where S5 is the highest level. Achieving IPMO-S1 (Specialist level 1) requires completing 50 contact course hours. To progress to the next specialist level, an additional 50 contact course hours are needed. Attaining the S5 certification level requires accumulating a total of 250 contact course hours. You can select any specialist course based on your needs to accrue these contact course hours.

Note: Coaching hours are included in the contact hour calculations, provided as part of AIPMO’s partners’ service offerings.
