APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ) Course Content

  • Overview

    This highly interactive course covers the content of the APMP syllabus which is based on the APM Body of Knowledge, 6th Edition. The framework and tools that are covered provide a solid foundation for the successful delivery of a project, irrespective of industry sector.
    Delegates will explore these tools through a number of facilitated individual and group-based exercises, providing ample opportunity for sharing experience and learning throughout the class.
    In addition to the classroom sessions listed below, delegates will also be assigned evening work to help reinforce learning and prepare for the examination. The evening work is a key part of the course and may take approximately two hours to complete although some delegates may choose to extend this time.

  • Context and Governance

    The governance and setting of a project will heavily influence how it is managed. This section will cover topics such as:
    The difference between project and operational work
    Programme and portfolio management
    Project team roles
    The governance of a project across its life cycle

  • Concept Phase

    It is essential that the need for a project is identified and understood before its viability can then be judged. This may involve:
    Identifying and managing stakeholders
    Creating a business case
    Assessing project success and benefits
    Procuring resources and contract management

  • Definition Phase

    The definition phase is often where the project manager is most heavily involved and we look at a structured approach for planning the project - both in terms of what needs to be done and also how it will be done.
    Requirements and scope management
    Schedule and resource management
    Budgeting and cost management

  • Development Phase

    Putting the plan into action will require the project manager to undertake many of the following actions.
    Project control, including cost control through earned value management
    Manage information and reports
    Risk and issue management
    Health and safety
    Quality management
    Change control and configuration management

  • Managing the Team

    No project is successful without an engaged and committed team. This requires the project manager to utilise a number of interpersonal skills.
    Communication
    Conflict management
    Build and lead the team

  • Project Handover and Closure

    Formal closure of a project will help ensure that the deliverables are handed over in a structured manner and that the team and the organisation has reviewed and learned from the performance on the project.
    Project handover
    Project reviews
