look APMP - Is it for you?
Insight

The APMP is considered to be the benchmark project management qualification throughout the profession and it is the most popular. Our current calendar has between 3 and 4 courses being run each month. If you already have PRINCE2 then take a look at our APMP for PRINCE2 Practitioners, from the link in the main page.

It is however the course and exam that potential candidates tend to underestimate the most, particularly the amount of work that is needed to reach the standard required, remember it is a professional qualification! You will receive, in advance of attending the five day course, a copy of the APM Body of Knowledge (BoK). Time invested in getting to know the BoK at this stage will be more than repaid during the course week. More experienced project managers attending this course are often caught out by thinking that they know all this already, but be warned unless you have used a structured approach, involving the use of recognised tools and techniques - you may not yet have the depth needed.

Starting with the 2011 courses, they all have VODoc® learning materials which enhance learning and acclerate the time spent revising.

In addition you are provided with a great deal of support throughout what will be a two week period; firstly there is the five day course, where you will in effect manage a case study project from start to finish. Secondly between finishing the course and taking the exam you will receive online and email support from the tutor.

If you are thinking about this course, you will find it challenging, but very rewarding when you pass - and we have a lot that do!

VODoc

One of our greatest innovations in learning material is the introduction of VODoc®. Using this system of Visually Orientated Documents, your learning material comes alive. Using VODoc® enhances and accelerates learning - leading to exam success - first time every time!

APMP Project Management

APMP (IPMA Level D) is a knowledge based qualification. Successful candidates are able to participate in projects from individual assignments through to large capital projects. APMP is a qualification recognised both nationally and internationally that successful candidates can carry from one job to another or from one industry to another.APM

APMP is aimed at project managers and aspiring project managers who wish to demonstrate their knowledge of project management at a foundation level. APMP covers 37 knowledge areas from the APM Body of Knowledge. Knowledge of these areas is considered fundamental to the professional management of projects.

What is assessed?
The APMP assessment involves one three hour written essay-based paper. APMP assesses the candidate’s breadth of knowledge in all areas of project management, from strategic and commercial implications, to the technical, organisational, and people management skills required to participate effectively within a project team.

You may remember a time when you attended a course at a training centre or college and the notes were dreadful faded photocopies. The content was good, but they were just so difficult to read and of course it seemed so easy in the class - you understood it then and you took notes. Now? it's just not coming together and your exam is in a few weeks time and after a quick phone round your class mates you managed to get through and finish the exam.

It's a familiar story, you wasted so much time trying to read difficult material, time that should have been using getting sufficient depth to get you through the exam. A VODoc® pdf format means that at key points in the learning material there is a micro video lecture (just like it was in class) explaining the lesson, as one of our first delegates to use the system said, "it's like taking the tutor home with you!"

Secondly; the advanced presentation materials ensure the maximum level of interaction, all materials have been developed to maximise the impact of the learning.Our standards of learning are high, we practice what we preach, our learning has been tested by some of the worlds top organisations. You can therefore be sure of a consistent high standard and best practice processes.

Our approach to learning considers the step-by-step procedures that make up a process, procedural learning with process learning fosters a greater understanding of where and how the details fit into the overall big picture. This consolidated approach has been shown to lead to a higher degree of exam success, compared to more traditional
learning methodology.
