Course Summary
Managing Projects with the APM Project Management Qualification (SCQF Level 7) is a knowledge-based course. This is a qualification for project managers with a minimum of two years experience who want to manage projects of all sizes. It is the ideal next step for anyone holding the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification, but this is not a pre-requisite. It enables you to demonstrate knowledge of all elements of project management. You will be able to demonstrate an understanding of how these elements interact and how your project fits into your strategic and commercial environment.
Delivered over 5 days, either classroom or remote live or a blend of the two, our course format is carefully designed to ensure you are the most prepared as possible to undertake the 3-hour exam.
We recommend this comprehensive course is split over this 4 week period. We can condense timings for in-house courses, but recommend this format. This structure enables delegates to absorb and digest new knowledge and to complete several practice exams on which they get individual feedback from the trainer. This practice and feedback have proven invaluable, and it is key to our high pass rates.
Our delegates also receive the official APM PMQ study guide and our comprehensive Welllingtone Training Pack. Those seeking a shorter course opt for the 2-day Delivering Successful Projects with the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification.
APM PMQ Course Details
APM PMQ Course Details
The APM Project Management Qualification is the UK’s most prestigious certification for experienced project managers. Aimed at project managers with at least two years of experience, it is well-recognised evidence of an understanding of best practices for project management.
We deliver the course either face to face or remotely live, and regardless of format, the experienced trainer (who is, of course, APM PMQ certified) will make sure to deliver an engaging and interactive class with lots of storytelling, examples and activities to help ensure you master the subjects.
This qualification is ideal for those looking to build on their practical project management experience. We ask all delegates to complete pre-screening as explained below.
APM Exam and Pre-Screening
APM PMQ Exam
We deliver this course over 5 days, split over a 4 week period, giving time to absorb the content and prepare for the 3-hour exam.
In the course we cover all topics to the required depth and have a lot of exam practice. Every day, you will complete authentic practice questions in the proper exam format, and we will also do three practice exams throughout the course. Each delegate gets personal feedback on their work from Day 1. This means you will be on the right track to success from the beginning and have several opportunities to tweak and improve your exam technique throughout the course. All our delegates receive a comprehensive training pack, which includes the official APM PMQ Study Guide.
Your trainer will arrange and invigilate your exam registration so you do not need to submit paperwork or configure your computer. The APM exam fee is £490 per delegate (as of Apr-26). This exam fee included in your course fee.
What if I fail the exam?
We know that sometimes things don’t go to plan. The APM PMQ is a challenging exam, and not everyone passes the first time — and that’s okay. Our APM PMQ Resit programme is designed to give you another chance, with focused one-to-one revision, a drop-in clinic with targeted support on the areas you need most, and a full practice paper with personalised feedback. We run resit sessions three times a year, in January, May and September, so you can choose a timeframe that works best for you.
Exam Pre-Screening
At Wellingtone, we put people first and want to help you succeed from day one. To make sure the APM PMQ course is the right fit for you, we ask that all delegates complete a short pre-screening questionnaire and have a quick 10-minute chat with one of our Senior Training Consultants.
This gives us a chance to understand your experience, answer any questions, and make sure the course matches your needs. This is applicable for both our public PMQ courses and our in-house corporate courses for individual clients. This approach, with pre-screening, is recommended by the APM to ensure this qualification is the right choice for every delegate. It also helps us put any reasonable adjustments in place early, so our delegates feel supported and have the best possible chance of exam success.
The PMQ training was well structured and detailed. The information given is highly useful in my day-to-day PM tasks. Thank you so much for the information, I feel comfortable I will do well on the PMQ exam.
It was a really good and insightful course. I appreciated being given the time to answer practice questions; that was very helpful, and the feedback that Karin supplied on the practice questions done as homework was also really helpful.
The training course was so in-depth and insightful. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I’ve taken away so much new information. Karin was incredible, an expert in her training would be an understatement.
The Trainer was excellent, engaging and enthusiastic, and really made the content come alive. The way she explained the subjects really helped.
