Project managers in China

There is a huge demand for project managers in China in recent decades. As the PMP and IPMP certifications are all based on foreign project management standards/guides and are not officially recognised in China, there is a need to establish China’s own certification system for project management professionals in China. To meet this requirement, in Sept 2002 the Ministry of Labor and Social Security promulgated the National Standards for Project Management Professionals in China (CPMP) which forms the basis for CPMP certification. The first National Examination for CPMP Certification was held in Dec 2003 and those who want to apply for the certificate have to attend a one-week training programme offered by agents authorised by the MOLSS and take the 5 hour National Examination for CPMPCertification.
According to research, the number of project managers who got a Class a certificate in China is 106091.
