Summary/Abstract: The aim of presented paper is to synthesize the results obtained by comparison with desk research and consultations carried out at selected Czech public universities in the academic year 2018/2019 in order to identify the coverage of the project manager competencies mentioned in the National Competence Baseline of Project Management, version 4, in lectures, exercises or seminars, of course Project Management and transdisciplinary in the context of teaching of related managerial and economic courses. The benchmark was the National Competence Baseline of Project Management (NCB), version 4 issued in 2018. Due to the availability of relevant information resources for the realization of desk research and consultations, the survey was conducted at VŠE Praha, ČVUT Praha, VUT Brno, UP Olomouc, VŠB-TU Ostrava, as a sample of universities in which some form of project management is taught. We used an analysis of the available documents, specifically NCB ver. 4 with an emphasis on the identification of project manager competencies in the context of meeting the requirements for candidates for D level certification of project managers. Further syllabuses of managerial and economic courses of individual analyzed universities were used. Valuable backgrounds were the personal consultations with guarantors and teachers of relevant courses during the winter term of the academic year 2018/2019. The prerequisite for the comparison of the outputs obtained through the desk research and consultations is the content of the certification exam for the D level certification. Important information is the fact that the presented paper does not compare the quality of teaching, but only the content of the subject matter in the analyzed courses.
