APMP for Prince2 Practitioners

APM Accredited ProviderThis course is a new route to the APMP qualification from the Association for Project Management (APM), which recognised the prior learning from PRINCE2® Practitioner qualification. It reflects a coming together of the qualification from the Office of Government Commerce and the APM.This course is for existing registered practitioners.

The APMP covers many of the critical areas of project management which are missing from Prince2 including budgeting and cost management, procurement and leadership. Combined they create a more fully rounded project manager. They have been described as the literacy and the numeracy of project management.
