APMP Training Courses
Course Objectives
APMP is a knowledge based qualification. Successful candidates go on to use the knowledge gained to work more effectively on both large and small projects. APMP is internationally recognised in many industry sectors as the basis for a complete understanding of project management.
Delegate Profile
APMP is aimed at project managers and aspiring project managers who wish to demonstrate their acquired knowledge. The APM Introductory Certificate is not a pre-requisite.
A PRINCE2 Foundation or Practitioner qualification is compatible with taking the APMP qualification. APMP gives a broad grounding in project management upon which PRINCE2 can sit as an immediately applicable and practical project management method.
Topics Covered
APMP covers 37 knowledge areas from the APM Body of Knowledge (APMBoK).
The following will be covered:
- Project management in context
- Planning & strategy
- Executing the strategy
- Techniques
- Business and commercial
- Organisation and governance
- People and profession
Trainer Profile
All trainers delivering AFA's APM courses hold the APM Practitioner qualification as well as being experienced project management professionals. 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.
