Trainer Profile
All AFA P3O trainers have undergone the rigorous approvals process administered by the APM Group on behalf of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC). They are practising project and 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 illustration and anecdotes have up-to-date validity and that the training given, whilst being true to the syllabus is also pragmatic.
