Calibrate is a professional-grade competency management system built on the IPP framework. Validated capability profiles, CPD compliance, evidence portfolios, and structured development tools — for every project manager in your organisation.
5 seats included in every trial · From £22 per seat per year · No card required
You know your team is good. You just cannot prove it, see where the gaps are, or point to anything structured when the board asks.
Job titles and years of experience tell you almost nothing about genuine capability. When a complex programme lands, you are guessing who can lead it. Calibrate gives each person a validated competency profile across eight structured areas — not self-reported, evidence reviewed by a designated reviewer inside your organisation.
Your team is doing the work. The development is happening. But when the annual cycle comes around, nobody can demonstrate it coherently. Calibrate tracks CPD automatically as evidence is added, so renewal is a summary not a reconstruction.
Without a shared framework, PDRs default to gut feel and generic goals. Calibrate gives managers and team members a structured, evidence-based picture of where they are and what the next level looks like — so development conversations have something real to work with.
These are the capabilities your admins, team leads, and line managers have in the platform from day one.
See your team's confirmed competency levels across all eight IPP framework areas in a single dashboard. Only validated evidence counts. Self-assessed levels are visible but clearly distinguished. Filterable by individual, area, and role benchmark.
Designate reviewers inside your organisation. Evidence submissions route to them for validation. Approved evidence updates the profile. Rejected evidence is returned with feedback. A clean, auditable process — no email chains.
Every piece of validated evidence contributes to CPD hours automatically. Compliance dashboards show who is on track, who is behind, and what is outstanding. No more spreadsheets at renewal time.
Compare where each person is against the framework level they are targeting. Identify gaps. Assign learning. Track progress. Development conversations have a foundation instead of starting from a blank page.
A seat is not just a management tool. It is something genuinely useful to the person using it — which is why they engage with it rather than tolerate it.
Not a CV. Not a job title. A structured, evidence-backed competency profile across eight professional areas, validated by a real reviewer. Something they can point to when going for their next role, internally or externally.
Calibrate profiles belong to the individual, not the employer. When someone changes role or organisation, their evidence and history comes with them. They do not start from scratch. Their professional record is theirs to keep.
Calibrate is built on the same framework as IPP membership. Every competency they build maps directly to the criteria for AIPP, MIPP, or FIPP. The work they do in their day job becomes the evidence for professional membership.
Calibrate is built on the IPP Competency Framework — the professional standard used for qualification and membership. That means every competency level your team builds in Calibrate maps directly to recognised professional credentials.
The Institute of Project Professionals sets the competency framework, runs qualifications, and maintains the verified public directory. IPP membership gives individuals recognised post-nominals and a verifiable professional identity.
The platform your team uses to build, document, and validate their competency evidence. Sits at the centre of the ecosystem. When someone adds evidence in Calibrate, it feeds their IPP membership profile and their Activate qualification progress simultaneously.
IPP's on-demand learning and assessment platform. When a team member passes an Activate qualification, their exam topic scores automatically pre-seed their Calibrate profile at the appropriate level. They do not start from scratch — the system recognises what they have already demonstrated.
No data migration, no training programme, no onboarding consultant. The framework is already there. Fill in a form and your account is live in seconds.
Name, email, organisation. Your account is provisioned immediately with 5 seats. No card required.
Share your org link. Team members sign in with their existing IPP or Activate account, or create one free. Existing profiles carry across automatically.
Each person maps their competency across the eight areas and uploads supporting evidence. Reviewers validate. Profiles update.
The team heat map populates as evidence is validated. You can see capability gaps, CPD compliance, and development progress — in one place, in real time.
There are no feature differences between Starter and Enterprise. Every tier gets everything. The only thing that changes is price per seat as headcount grows, plus the level of support provided. A 30-day free trial is included in every plan.
Before you hire a project manager, check whether their credentials are real and current. The IPP public directory is open to everyone, requires no login, and reflects live membership status. No phone calls. No delays.
