Course: APMP

The attainment of accreditations offered by professional bodies such as the Association for Project Management (APM) is increasingly seen as a recognised indicator of competence in project management.

This course provides delegates with comprehensive training to prepare them for the APM Professional (APMP) examination (based on the APM Body of Knowledge, 5th Edition). It will enable delegates to understand all elements of the APMP syllabus, get to grips with the specific examination language, and learn strategies and tactics for approaching the examination. Extensive examination practice and feedback is included in the workshop.

Delegates sit the APMP examination on the last afternoon of the course (or at a later date if preferred).
