Keeping your project moving in the right direction, within a specific deadline can sometimes prove difficult. As a Project Manager, you will already have skills such as negotiation, communication, budgeting effectively, managing conflicts and handling change, however APMP enables you to understand specific knowledge which will help you to plan and execute a successful project, inevitably allowing you to become a better Project Manager.

APMP is an internationally recognised qualification, suitable for those at entry-level and beyond, and although the course material is aimed at those with a pre-existing knowledge, it is not a requirement. It provides an excellent option for any professional, experienced or otherwise, to apply their knowledge and learn how to become more successful in their chosen career path. APMP also provides a person with greater confidence as you acquire an all-round understanding of your career, enabling you to think about aspects such as people management and business strategy.

According to an APM survey, 97% of candidates said they would recommend the qualification to other project professionals. Usually considered as a necessary and first step, APMP gives ‘people the required knowledge to be able to deliver projects successfully’.

Personal career satisfaction is another important factor of taking the course. From a APM candidate survey, 94% of candidates have said that having the qualification improved their self-confidence with regards to their ability, as well as 90% feeling more competent as a result of gaining APMP.

If you’re looking for your next career progression and want to stand out within an ever competitive industry, APMP is certainly worth completing.
