Contact UsTraining and professional development will improve existing project management skills and capabilities for all delegates. Our APM courses will help delegates gain a better understanding of PM terminology and improve their ability to use a common language when discussing projects. This contributes to better project outcomes because project requirements become clearer and success criteria are better defined and understood. Stakeholder and customer expectations are aligned with the project manger’s understanding of what is required.
Our training will help formalise topics, processes and procedures that may already be in use in an organisation. But they put them into a real-world context through the use of meaningful case studies. A project professional will learn new theory or learn to put theory they already know into effective practice. They learn how to capitalise on the project team members available in order to deliver projects more successfully. By implementing PM theory constructively an organisation is better able to more reliably and consistently deliver successful outcomes.
Whilst our APM project management courses will improve the existing skills of those attending, the main aim is to ensure all delegates learn new skills to help them better perform their role. Feedback from all of our Association for Project Management courses shows that the vast majority of delegates do, indeed, learn new skills. Parallel Project Management Training uses active learning techniques to develop the necessary skills and knowledge, but also to develop the behaviours and attitudes that underpin these essential capabilities.
Traditionally project managers would have gained experience on-the-job which often meant by trial and error. However, this approach leads to wasted time, effort and money. There is also a hidden cost to learning through trial and error because when things go wrong it can adversely affect customer satisfaction and the professional reputation of an organisation. PM accreditation avoids all of these risks and will fast track team members at every level to be able to deliver successful projects without wasting resources and without risking reputational damage.
Professionals across the globe have discovered that APM project management training can increase their success as professional project managers (PM). All project phases are vital to a successful project completion, requiring PMs to be effective planners, executers, and monitors. In order to decrease the risk of deadline failures and to make managing projects easier, individuals should contemplate undertaking professional training from the Association for Project Management, allowing them to polish their management skills and enhance overall business productivity.

A project management professional can better determine the requirements of a project and hence make best use of the available resources. Scope, schedule and budget are then correctly understood from the beginning.
The ability to identify potential risks and manage those risks in the most efficient way improves a project manager’s ability to manage projects to a successful outcome.
When project managers understand risk and how to manage projects effectively organisations can avoid wasting time, effort and money.
When projects are delivered consistently and reliably then customers receive what they expected at the time they expected and within budget; resulting in satisfied customers.
