Migrate your IPMP data
IPMP is a project management certification and professional body serving practitioners in Ghana and West Africa, focused on competency development and membership management rather than software delivery.
In its favor
Why people choose IPMP
The signal that keeps IPMP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
The institute is Ministry of Education-approved and COTVET-registered, giving Ghanaian project management practitioners an officially recognised credential pathway that satisfies public sector procurement requirements.
Membership provides alignment with AAPM's American framework alongside local Ghanaian accreditation, appealing to professionals seeking internationally portable qualifications.
As a licensing and regulatory professional body under the Companies Code 1963, IPMP offers practitioners a formal career structure that smaller training providers cannot replicate.
The TVET centre status enables members to access structured competency assessments aligned to NABPTEX-Ghana standards during certification renewals.
Members report that the digital infrastructure supporting member portals and certification lookup is inconsistent, making it difficult to retrieve credentials or update profile information without contacting the office directly.
Practitioners seeking cloud-native project management tooling with real-time collaboration features find that IPMP's focus on certification rather than project execution tools does not meet their operational needs.
Some members note that continuing professional development tracking is largely manual and not integrated with popular project management software platforms.

Pricing tiers
IPMP pricing overview
IPMP does not publish public pricing for its membership tiers or certification fees on its website. Costs are typically communicated through direct inquiry with the institute's office, as the model is oriented toward annual membership renewals and per-exam fees rather than tiered software subscriptions.

What gets migrated
IPMP object support
Object-by-object support for IPMP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Members
Mapping requiredMember records carry name, contact details, professional membership tier, and registration status against the Companies Code Act 179 registry. We map these to the destination HRMS employee profile and preserve the PB 68 registration number as a custom field.
Certifications
Mapping requiredCertification records are issued against AAPM (USA) and COTVET (Ghana) frameworks. Each certification has an issue date, expiry, and competency category. We preserve the issuing body reference and align it to the destination's credential object.
Professional Examinations
Mapping requiredExamination results track scores, attempt dates, and pass/fail status. Some records live in a separate assessment platform integrated via API. We extract and re-associate each result with the corresponding member record in the destination system.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Logs
Mapping requiredCPD hours are logged manually by members and audited periodically. The schema varies by competency framework. We normalise CPD entries into a standard format with source reference and hours claimed.
Training Courses
Mapping requiredCourses are delivered through a third-party TVET-registered centre. Course completion records may live outside the primary membership system. We identify the external source, extract relevant records, and link them to member profiles.
Organisational Members
Mapping requiredCorporate or organisational memberships are tracked separately from individual practitioner records. We map these as distinct entities with billing and tier information attached.
Invoices and Payments
Not in this platformBilling records and payment histories are managed through a separate finance system. We do not migrate financial transaction history; only the membership tier and current standing are transferred.
Document Storage
Mapping requiredCertificates, ID documents, and academic credentials are stored as PDFs or scanned images. We extract available file references and preserve links where accessible; full file migration requires a separate document transfer scope.
