About AFA
AFA was established fifteen years ago as a management consultancy organisation. In 1996 AFA became one of the original group of PRINCE2® Accredited Training Organisations under the scheme administered by APM Group on behalf of the Cabinet Office. AFA quickly established a reputation for being able to deliver training courses that combine excellent exam pass rates with realistic and practical guidance ensuring maximum skills transfer.
AFA continues to specialise in the Best Practice methods, becoming accredited at the earliest possible opportunity to deliver training in: • MSP® programme management • M_o_R® risk management, and • P3O® portfolio, programme and project support offices
More recently, five further training strands have been added to the AFA offering: • Change Management – accredited by the APM Group • Benefits Management – developed from experience of MSP training & implementation • ITIL® Service Management – accredited by ISEB • Portfolio Management – helping you to deliver the right projects and programmes • APM Qualifications – APM Introductory Certificate and APMP
We believe that this unique combination of expertise allows us to help organisations to maximise the benefits of their change initiatives. AFA’s ethos is to work with client organisations, retaining existing robust processes and further developing them in line with Best Practice guidance. Training events are often tailored to suit the current level of understanding within an organisation; a pathway of progression can be offered to allow understanding and skills to develop and grow. Current AFA clients include utility and telecoms companies, central & local government departments, hospital trusts, and police forces.
