Trainer Profile
All AFA MSP trainers have undergone the rigorous approvals process administered by the APM Group on behalf of the UK Cabinet Office. They are practising programme managers with considerable experience in a wide range of industry sectors. The use of hybrid trainer-managers is of great benefit to delegates and ensures that illustrations and anecdotes have up-to-date validity and that the training given, whilst being true to the syllabus, is also pragmatic.
