Course Content

OverviewThis 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. -

Identifying and managing stakeholders
Creating a business case
Assessing project success and benefits
Procuring resources and contract management -

Requirements and scope management
Schedule and resource management

Development PhasePutting the plan into action will require the project manager to undertake many of the following actions.
