Purpose: The aim of the article is to present the results of research conducted using the statistical method on the results of project management certification exams (IPMA-Student). The purpose of the research was to determine which elements of post-graduate students' competences are best developed. Design/methodology/approach: In the study, the statistical method and the individual case method were used. The data came from the IPMA-Student portal, from the results of the exam in electronic version. MS Excel 2013 software was used to prepare the results of the analysis. Basic statistical analyses were made. In addition, the analysed groups were compared due to the IPMA-Student's exam result. One-factor analysis of variance was used for this purpose. Findings: In the course of the work, the level of management competence in the various areas of technical, behavioural and contextual competence was identified. Practical implications: The results of the research and conclusions can be used as material to indicate which elements of project management competence require support and can be useful in the formulation of training programmes both at universities and in training companies. Originality/value: The research is based on the actual results of business certification exams carried out by an international independent professional association. Therefore, the result of the research is not based on a declarative description of students' competences, but on the real results of the exam. (original abstract)
