Episode 055: What`s better: Competence or Knowledge Based PM Certifications? Do you have a Project Management Certification? If not, are you considering to take one? Maybe you would like to become a PMP® credential holder, or you are looking at the IPMA range of certifications, or maybe you are even looking into a masters degree in project management. In either case, in today’s discussion with Stacy Goff, president of www.projectexperts.com and vice president of the ASAPM , the American Society for the Advancement of Project Management we will be looking at the difference between a competence based certification and a knowledge based certification, with particular focus on the IPMA certifications offered worldwide. We also have several helpful resources and we are giving away two copies of Quentin Fleming's book "Project Procurement Management".
