PMAC Approves the Canadian National Competence Baseline for Project Managers

July 6, 2009 - Today the board of directors of the Project Management Association of Canada has formally approved the new Canadian National Competence Baseline (CNCB) for project managers. The CNCB is based upon version three (v3.0) of the IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) standard published by the International Project Management Association (IPMA).

The CNCB will be used as the basis for project management knowledge and competence assessments by the association, and should be read by all Canadian project managers to help them plan out their own skills and career growth. Now that this Canadian standard has been approved, the association can complete the development of questions for its upcoming IPMA Level-D certification exam to be announced later this year.

The CNCB will be available for free download to all Canadian project managers. To obtain a copy, please click on our "Publications" link at the top of this page.
