Certification

ICPMSB Certification Path

ICPMSB offers a structured certification system for professionals working with medical software. The certificates focus on safety, regulation, quality and engineering practices in the medical-device environment.

1. CPMS Foundation Level

This is the starting point for everyone.
You learn the fundamentals of medical-software development: regulatory basics, quality and risk management, usability, documentation, software engineering and IT-security requirements.
After your preparation, you take the Foundation exam. When you pass, you receive the CPMS-F certificate, which proves your understanding of essential medical-software standards.

2. CPMS Advanced Level

With the Foundation certificate, you can specialise in one of two advanced paths:

  • Advanced Process Management (AL-PM)
    Focus on regulatory processes, quality management, documentation, usability engineering and risk control.

  • Advanced Software Development (AL-SW)
    Focus on lifecycle models, design for safety, testing, maintenance and technical requirements for medical-software development.

Each advanced path ends with its own exam and certificate.

3. Professional Development in the Medical-Software Field

By combining Foundation and Advanced certifications, you build a recognised qualification for roles in regulatory affairs, medical-software engineering, quality management, usability and compliance.

Summary

CPMS Foundation → choose Advanced path (Process or Software) → pass exams → build your certified profile in medical-software development
