American Academy of Project
Management AAPM ®
The AAPM ™ International Board of
Standards was founded in 1996, via a consolidation between the PME Project Manager E-Business Committee (PME)
and the Founders Advisory Committee of the Original Condor Falcon Graduate Institute of Leadership
Development ™. The AAPM was originally established in as a professional organization for Hi Tech Managers,
Government Employees, and Analysts. The Condor Falcon Institute was founded to examine strategic leadership
and planning issues for graduates professionals and leaders and to award the leadership, project management
and consulting designations. AAPM currently recognizes over 12,000 Executive Project Managers, PhDs, Masters
Degree Holders, government officials, and consultants as executive members in over 150
nations.
As there had not been a graduate
professional project manager organization specifically for Executives, MBAs, PhDs and accredited degree
holders, The AAPM ™ has met this need and become the organization of choice for highly educated individuals
or industry experts because AAPM requires an accredited college degree or equivalent for membership and
certification. The AAPM receives its license, sanction and authority from the IPMC International Project
Management Commission. It is projected that another 10,000 new members in Asia, India, The Middle East and
Africa will be accredited or certified by AApM and IPMC over the next 2 years.
Furthermore, AAPM ™ has several
global certifications available for qualified membership which are the: CIPM ™ Certified International
Project Manager and MPM ™ Master Project Manager i.e. The Masters Certification, and The PME ™ Project
Manager E-Business, the CPE Certified Planning Engineer ™, and the CPRM Certified Project Risk Manager ™.
Other AAPM designations include: Master Quality Manager MQM ™, The Accredited Agile Project Manager, and
inclusion of the CEC ™ Certified E-Commerce Consultant Designation. The AAPM ™ is the regulatory body for the
much sought after AAPM ™ Designations and Credentials.
The AAPM ™ Executive Designation
Programs provide the assurance that the holder has met the suggested criteria for graduate credentials set
out in the Ibanez US Supreme Court Decision. Further, the AAPM board certification requires meeting 6
different levels of global criteria including ethics and our global body of standards which are the 1st
Standards specifically based on the methodology used by government agencies and departments. Acceptance into
the AAPM is a high distinction and requires the holder to possess a graduate level portfolio of skills and
knowledge. Acceptance statistics are not high, and the designation when achieved is a high honor strictly for
accredited degree holders or individuals with equivalent backgrounds.
The AAPM ™ has seen a meteoric rise
to affluence and membership in recent years, as executives and managers strive to maintain and augment their
education, unique credentials, integrity, and skill sets. AAPM has strategic recognition of over 40 of the
top business programs globally including schools of the The AACSB ™ International and The ACBSP ™
accreditation agencies. Thus, AAPM accredits and recognizes only the best project management training
programs. AAPM also has an alliance with the RSOF Royal Society of Fellows Worldwide, The IPMC International
Project Management Commission and the AAFM ™ The American Academy of Financial Management. Further, the AAPM
has been listed and disclosed as a training and certification provider with the US Department of Education
EROD Directory.
AAPM’s mission is to serve its
global membership and stakeholders as a world leader in educating and reinforcing the international knowledge
of executives and potential leadership of institutions. AAPM ™ now has representative offices in the US World
Trade Center N.O. Center, Hong Kong, Beijing, India, Moscow, Istanbul, Dubai, Kuwait, Latin America and South
America, Singapore, The Carribean, Europe, and more. AAPM ™ mandates consent to high standards of
professional conduct, and AAPM activities are International in nature and scope.

* Notice on Recognition: Most
people simply view the MPM as a credential that is higher or more advanced than the other basic professional
designations. It seems that it is a natural inclination to view the AAPM & IPMC masters credential as one
that is above the others. Overall, because we require a college education, we have further positioned the
AAPM, MPM and CIPM above the other designations; however, this policy does prevent the multitude from joining
the AAPM.
*Anyone who provides false
information to the AAPM or provides education and credentials in bad faith can be reported to the authorities
or to their local authorities. We expect all information to be truthful and accurate under the digital
signature act laws and through treaties and international law. A person can be expelled from the organization
and have their name stricken from the record if providing false or misleading information regarding an
application or any other issue.
