The Project DPro Foundation certification (level 1) is intended for those new to project management, those with experience working in a project-based environment who are looking for a refresher, and for experienced project managers who are new to working in the international development sector. The goal of the Project DPro Foundation is to:
- confer a professional certification status for project managers in the sector
- provide certification and learning resources that are comprehensive, accessible and appropriate to professionals working in the sector
- integrate content that is contextualized to the international development sector with other internationally-recognized certifications.
To become a Project DPro Practitioner you need to have passed the Foundation (level 1) examination for Project DPro (formerly PMD) and demonstrate your ability to apply and analyze the contents of the Guides.
Becoming a member of the DPro+ platform is the first step to become a practitioner. There you will find ongoing self-learning opportunities and curated content for continuous development. DPro+ is also the site where certified Project DPro and Program DPro professionals can meet to connect with each other and learn about job and mentoring opportunities. There are forums with postings from people in the humanitarian and development sectors, and links to regular PM4NGOs webinars and activities.
