Overview
Course duration: 5 days.
The APMP is the professional qualification awarded by the Association for Project Management. The focus of this intensive course is to provide you with a level of knowledge that will enhance your personal effectiveness in project management and give you a professional qualification that is recognised worldwide.
The syllabus is based upon the Body of Knowledge (BoK). The sessions will include discussions, exercises, case studies and example questions.
Given the intensive nature of the syllabus the course will involve at least two hours of study each evening. To facilitate this you may wish to consider our accommodation package offering reduced rates at local hotels.
The examination consists of a three-hour essay style paper.
APMP is a knowledge based qualification. Successful candidates are able to participate in projects from individual assignments through to large capital projects. APMP is a qualification recognised both nationally and internationally that successful candidates can carry from one job to another or from one industry to another.
APMP covers 37 knowledge areas from the APM Body of Knowledge. Knowledge of these areas is considered fundamental to the professional management of projects.
The course is fully accredited and approved by the APM, and Hemsley Fraser is an APM Accredited Training Provider.

Trainer Profile
Moyra Wright
Delegates attending this intensive five-day course are seeking to gain a broad
qualification and understanding in Project Management. As this is an examination course delegates often feel nervous as they haven’t been in an exam environment since leaving School /University.
I will help delegates gain the required knowledge of the syllabus and regain the confidence to sit the exam. I create a learning environment that helps delegates absorb the knowledge yet challenges and encourages them to think for themselves in an atmosphere that is conducive to a positive learning experience.
