Overview

 

The APMP is a baseline foundation level qualification for those working in project
management as specialists who need to understand project management in order to
achieve efficiency and effectiveness.

The APMP examination is designed to determine an individual’s knowledge of project management, sufficient to be an informed member of a project team.

Who will benefit?

Successful candidates will gain a recognised, non-industry specific qualification and can use the letters APMP after their names on correspondence and business cards.
