About us

For quality and expertise

Our aim is to promote technical management in the broadest sense and to celebrate successes. We do this together with our community of project managers, account managers and engineers. PTMCO makes the difference when it comes to technical management. We are building a better world, all in our own way and on our own scale. We have a heart for our profession and strive for quality and expertise.

The Certification Committee

Each application is individually assessed by the certification committee, which consists of varying experts from the industry. We look at expertise based on the requirements for certification, but also at insight into our own work and a vision about the professional field. That sounds strict, but in general a self-selection by the questionnaire ensures that a large part of the entries is approved.

Our approach to certification

A certificate for your hands-on practical experience

We do not believe in exams, but in hands-on experience and knowledge. That is what counts in your work and that is what makes the difference. We reward that expertise in the form of a valuable certification, a crown on your work!

How we provide value

rewarded by industry peers
Because certifications are issued by the industry, PTMCO certifications are seen as a peer appreciation. We guarantee the value of certification through a set of values and requirements that candidates must meet. Are you up to that challenge?

Our philosophy

Self-understanding and self-improvement as a higher overarching goal

We take another approach to certification. We believe in introspection and internal evaluation to gain insights and self-improvement. That is why we encourage these aspects to get the best out of ourselves and our work as technical managers. Are you ready to challenge yourself?

Frequently asked questions

How can I obtain a PTMCO certification?
PTMCO operates with a unique model in which the candidate’s professional expertise in technical management is assessed by a committee. Candidates are asked to complete a challenging questionnaire that demonstrates expertise on the basis of concrete practical examples. A possible reference can also be consulted. The committee consists of seasoned experts from the field.
Is there a possibility for a refund if I am not admitted?
Because we work with an alternative model compared to other certification organizations, a refund is available in the event of a negative assessment by the committee. In that case, the complete admission fee will be refunded within seven days.
How long are the PTMCO certifications valid?

The PTMCO certifications are a confirmation of professional experience and skills and are therefore valid for life. We do, however, encourage certificate holders to keep their expertise in the field of technical management up to date and to continue to explore new areas of knowledge.

Can I share PTMCO's certifications on my LinkedIn page?
PTMCO’s certifications can be shared on all social platforms. Certificates receive both a certificate in PDF format and a public web page to verify certification.
