Course overview

The APM PPQ builds on the knowledge gained in the APM PMQ. It leads to direct entry as a full member of the Association for Project Management (MAPM). It is also a recognised assessment route for chartered project professional (ChPP) status. You will be required to demonstrate your up-to-date knowledge of current practices and methods of project management. As such, you can follow route 1 (professional practice, CPD and ethics) to chartered status.

The APM PPQ incorporates a mix of tools, techniques, processes and skills that demonstrate candidates’ project management achievements, and this qualification specifically assesses capability in delivering projects, programmes and portfolios.

It is an assessment that covers both general and specific skills that professionals require across all areas of project management.

The PPQ is a fascinating course to teach. We have had some excellent conversations about how we could apply project management to a case study. There is no right answer, and it’s very interesting to see the different approaches to the case study proposed by the different teams. It is especially useful for people to consider projects outside their day-to-day experience.
