Others also named "First Assessors" are Keith Farndale, Grant Kerr, Alex Jalalian and Morley Selver. According to the announcement from PMAC, the appointment of the first assessors is a major step forward for Canada, PMAC-AMPC and IPMA.
One of the primary missions of the PMAC-AMPC is to provide independent third party assessments of project, program and project portfolio management competence for Canadian professionals. To that end, the organization provides a number of certification options. The levels of the IPMA certification range from the lowest, Level D, to the highest, Level A. The 4 level certification of IPMA not only provides a process where project managers can develop the skills necessary to lead and manage people but it provides a meaningful career path for project managers. Further information on the levels of certification can be viewed at http://www.pmac-ampc.ca/certification.
In compliance with IPMA regulations and international standard ISO 17024, the association operates an independent Certification Body (CB) to provide for competence (i.e. knowledge and experience) assessments of its members who are seeking PMAC-provided qualifications. The day-to-day operation of the CB is completely independent of the PMAC's Board of Directors. The Director of Certification, a PMAC Board of Directors position, sits as the head of the CB's Strategic Management Board (SMB). The current Director of Certification and Chair of the CB's SMB is Tamer Atiba.
