APM Qualifications
The Association for Project Management (APM) is the UK’s chartered professional body for project management.
If you want a credible, widely recognised route to improving delivery capability, APM qualifications provide
a clear progression from fundamentals through to advanced knowledge and professionalism.
Practical learning, exam-ready support, and a pathway you can scale from individual development to team capability uplift.
What is APM?
APM supports the project profession through standards, guidance, qualifications, and professional development.
For learners and organisations, APM qualifications are often used as a capability benchmark to improve consistency,
embed common language, and strengthen governance across delivery.
On this page, use the buttons above to route directly to the training options that fit your needs—whether you are
building confidence at entry level or consolidating your knowledge for professional progression.
Best suited for
Project professionals, team members contributing to projects, aspiring PMs, PMO staff, and leaders who want a
consistent baseline of methods, terminology, and delivery discipline.
Choose your route
APM gives you a structured progression. Select the level that aligns to your current role and the outcomes you’re targeting.
APM PFQ (Fundamentals)
Establish a strong baseline in project management concepts, language, and core principles—ideal if you’re new to the discipline
or want a formal, recognised foundation.
APM PMQ (Project Management Qualification)
Build broader knowledge across the APM Body of Knowledge, with stronger coverage of governance, planning, control,
risk, stakeholder management, and the delivery lifecycle.
Organisation capability uplift
For teams, we can align learning outcomes to your delivery model, PMO services, and governance expectations to create a
coherent operating rhythm—not just individual certification.

Tip: If you’re unsure where to start, PFQ is typically the best entry point; PMQ is ideal when you need broader knowledge coverage
and stronger professional signalling.
