Project Management Corporate Training
With an outstanding reputation for producing bespoke training programmes and experience of working with major organisations such as the Defence Science & Technology Lab, the National Trust and IFS to improve their project delivery, Parallel is here to answer your corporate training needs.
Open virtual classroom courses
We run a comprehensive schedule of public APM project management courses, held online. We welcome anyone onto these courses, and the courses often have delegates from many different organisations. If you have a group of delegates looking for the same course on the same or different dates, we can offer a corporate discount on our public courses. Please contact us if you’d like more details.
For both the APM Project Fundamentals and the APM Project Management Qualification we run monthly public courses. All of our public courses receive great feedback, and we pride ourselves on our pass rates. We cap the number of delegates on our public courses to ensure the quality of delivery never drops and you are afforded the time you need with the tutor.
Our public courses offer you and your delegates a number of benefits
- A wide range of dates throughout the year to choose from
- Opportunity to share ideas with project managers from other organisations.
- Fantastic feedback and excellent exam pass rates
In-house courses
Every organisation can benefit from a systematic and well-controlled approach to managing projects. Some of the benefits of professional project management include:
- Realistic timescales and budgets are assigned to projects.
- Responsibilities for project delivery are clearly defined.
- Changes to the project scope or objective are well controlled.
- Risks associated with the project are minimised.
- Projects are delivered more successfully to a higher standard.
For groups of 6 or more employees, we offer all of our courses at your premises as a cost-effective way to train your teams.
Running a course in-house offers you a multitude of benefits.
- The trainer comes to you so less travel for your staff.
- Work with us to find dates that suit.
- Benefit from elements face to face training
- Your own dedicated trainer and account manager
- Generally more cost-effective for six or more people in one group.

Great course provider and great trainer Tyrone, have learnt so much in 5 weeks!
Highly recommended Parallel Project Training. Carmen is a fantastic trainer, she is able to guide you through the training in a friendly and welcome manner, she takes the qualification and puts it into bite size chunks to make it digestible over the 5 weeks. Thanks for all your help!
Would highly recommend using Parallel Project Training. They have supported me in my journey to achieving my APM PMQ.The presentations and podcasts that they provide are informative and easy to understand. Compared to other training providers they are also one of the cheapest around.
Excellent course and really well led by Tyrone. Great method of getting the key information across and really informative.
Amazing course and highly recommended. Carmen was very knowledgeable and easy to understand in order to pass the APM PMQ exam.
Excellent training delivered by Paul Naybour; would recommend to anyone pursuing APM qualifications
I can highly recommend Parallel Project training for the preparation of the APM certification. The trainer are highly skilled and take huge effort in working with each individual to prepare for the exam (Thank you Carmen for you huge support and going the extra mile!). Their online platform includes very helpful videos and their prep questions trains you well for the assessment criteria.
Absolute worth it!
Attended the APM PFQ training & certification – One of the best trainings I have been in, the instructor (Jan Underdown) was very knowledgeable on the subjects due to her immense real-life experience in project management, very articulate and took time to ensure everyone understood the concepts.
Parallel Project Training provide a well-structured course, enabling an in depth understanding of project management methodologies, structures and challenges to overcome. The tutor (Jan Underdown) balanced the course well and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The online service is exceptional!
Would highly recommend this course. Very well led, Jan skill fully balanced the breadth of syllabus in a pace that was manageable for the 5 week course.
