APM PMQ (Project Management Qualification) Blended

The APM PMQ (Project Management Qualification) is a knowledge-based qualification developed by APM, the chartered body for the project profession. Candidates will be able to demonstrate an understanding of how these elements interact and how their project fits into their strategic and commercial environment. APM PMQ is an internationally recognised qualification and the BOK7 is based on the 7th edition of their Body of Knowledge, the most up to date version of the qualification.

The APM PMQ BOK7 (Project Management Qualification) is aimed at those wishing to achieve a broad level of project management knowledge sufficient to participate in projects from individual assignments through to large capital projects.

Part 1 of APM PMQ Blended Course - e-learning

The effort required with the e-learning learning is approximately 30 hours of self-study time. This will include a mix of video, e-learning, downloads and mock exam questions and answers. A large focus is on ‘Project Management in Practice’. We know that you need knowledge in order to pass the final APM Project Management Qualification (APMP) but it’s also important that people can relate the information to their every day jobs in order to be a more effective team member.

Part 2 of APM PMQ Blended Course - 1.5 day virtual workshop

You will have learnt the ‘knowledge’ part of the course through the e-learning before dialing into the scheduled virtual workshop. The first day of the virtual classroom course is intensive and will concentrate on clarification of the knowledge and validate your thought processes. The morning of the second day will focus on exam preparation to get you ready for the APM PMQ exam. The APM PMQ exam can be taken online at a time to suit you.

"The blended learning suited my learning needs. The tutor John was excellent, extremely knowledgeable on all our questions to prepare for the project management exam. It was very helpful to go over exam type questions beforehand. However I felt that it was very intensive having a day and 3 hour session just before the exam which made it stressful - if there was the opportunity to sit the exam either first thing or a week later that would have been a preferred option as well as having all topic material beforehand to allow time to read and consolidate new knowledge. The training itself was excellent!"
