Official qualification glossary

How RegPM really works

• AIPM positions RegPM as Australia’s formal professional certification framework for project management capability.
• The current AIPM certification overview says the RegPM process takes six steps and up to six months to complete.
• The current certification process page says RegPM access is available only to full AIPM members.
• The current maintenance page says certified holders need 70 CPD points over three years to keep their status active.
• The certification FAQ says the standard RegPM stream covers CPPP, CPPM, CPSPM, CPPD, and CPPE.

Which AIPM route is usually the right fit?

Current PM Mastery availability

• Dedicated AIPM simulator routes are not live in PM Mastery yet.
• The current AIPM pages help candidates compare RegPM levels, understand membership and maintenance expectations, and request updates while PM Mastery web practice for these exact routes is not live yet.
• If you need live PM Mastery practice today in a similar lane, the closest routes are PMP , PMQ , and PRINCE2 Foundation .

When this family is the right route

Use the AIPM lane when you need:

• Australia-specific professional certification language rather than only global PMI or UK PRINCE2 framing
• a competence-and-evidence route rather than only a timed multiple-choice exam
• clearer separation between practitioner, project-manager, senior project-manager, director, and portfolio-executive responsibility levels
• an Australia-first professional-body pathway rather than a global exam-first pathway
