This is a 4 day course, each day scheduled 2-3 weeks apart to allow you to practice and study. You will receive courseware 2-3 weeks beforehand so you can study.
Required study hours and study method

Perspective - Contextuele competenties
You might notice that these competencies are more or less the same as for IPMA D. However, at a deeper detail level subtopics are part of the IPMA C exams but not part of IPMA D exams. Moreover, IPMA C exam candidates must demonstrate more often that they not only understand the subject matter, but can also apply it to a given scenario. IPMA D candidates must prove that they understand the subject matter, but are less often required to prove that they are able to put it to practice.
