Trainer Profile
All AFA MSP trainers have undergone the rigorous approvals process administered by the APM Group on behalf of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC). 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.
Duration
This course takes place over three days. The Advanced Practitioner exam is taken during the afternoon of day three. Evening consolidation and preparation work is required in order to gain maximum benefit from the course. Residential attendance is recommended.
Location
AFA open courses are held approximately monthly at a range of locations across the UK. All venues have been chosen for their modern equipment and ease of access from major road, rail and air routes. Alternatively, client events can be arranged either on-site or at a suitable venue nearby.

Open course places cost £1250+VAT per delegate. This includes 2 nights dinner, bed and breakfast accommodation*. Extra overnight accommodation can be booked on request at preferential rates.
