APM PMQA well run and thought through course. The online portal, with videos and learning material was a great benefit along side the teams sessions.Our trainer, Carmen, was very knowledgeable and helpful. She put time aside to help answer questions, review work of our allotted sessions which was really appreciated.A slight frustration for me was that the paper work didn't always match the slides we were looking at, and the study guide arrived after our first days learning. But overall a very well run course.Many thanks,Richard

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!

I complete the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification through online webinars and exam. The learning materials were high quality and delivery was very professional. The tutor was extremely well prepared and use analogies, case studies and real world examples to help make the course engaging.If you want to get an APM Fundamentals Certificate and your company uses the APM system for project management, then this course is a good introduction. However, the content is largely about the APM words for different aspects of project management and you are tested, not on your PM skill, but your ability to remember a specific set of terminology. This led to a lot of "teaching to exam" rather than developing any skills. This course lacks depth and does not develop Project Management skills.

I completed the APM qualification 5 days over 5 weeks and I found this to be better way due to work commitments etc. Our trainer Carmen was very knowledgeable and I found the first 4 days of the course very beneficial. Unfortunately the final day which was used for revision didn't suit my learning style and I came away feeling more unprepared. Instead of going over all the content we have already learnt and answering any questions we just kept going over 'possible' questions and answers which really didn't work for me. I also found the exam questions to be very different to the ones we have spent time on practicing, so again seemed like a waste.
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!

The APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) course was very chaotic to say the least. The training provider spent way too much time making kitchen analogy to illustrate structural breakdown and then ended up rushing through the rest of the course and I feel like she missed important bits that we were asked about in the exam.

Took the virtual APM PMQ 6-week course with Paul Naybour. The course was conveniently timed to fit around the day job. Paul is hugely knowledgeable and supportive, teaching both PM principles and exam technique. Highly recommend to others with or without previous project management experience.

I heartily recommend Parallel's APM PMQ 8 week virtual course. Its not an easy exam, however the tutors at Parallel ensure you have the knowledge and tips to pass. The tips and advice on how to pass the exam were invaluable and compliment the online lessons, text books, podcasts and homework.

About Bristol

About Bristol

Straddling the River Avon, in the southwest of the UK, Bristol is a city steeped in maritime history. What was once a city-centre port is now considered to be a cultural hub. The city’s former warehouses are now home to restaurants and cultural institutions as a result of major regeneration. Bristol is famous for its modern economy, which has been built on the aerospace industry, electronics and creative media. It is the home of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the birthplace of Nitrous Oxide and was the first city in Britain to be named European Green Capital. It is a fantastic base for any project management training course.

Where to Stay

Because project management training courses normally take place over several days it is a good idea to look for local accommodation. Fortunately, Bristol has plenty of great hotels to offer.

The Bristol Hotel, Prince St, Bristol BS1 4QF

An iconic building located on the quayside of the floating harbour, The Bristol is an ideally placed luxury hotel in the heart of the city. The hotel has paid public parking onsite as well as electric vehicle charging points. There is a business centre with plenty of internet access and also meeting rooms for those who would like to conduct their project management training courses in the same location. It benefits from all of the amenities that you would expect from a 4-star hotel.

Bristol Marriott City Centre, 2 Lower Castle St, Bristol BS1 3AD

Located right in the heart of the city, this hotel is conveniently placed for those who prefer to use public transport; there is no on-site parking, although paid public parking is available nearby. It has all of the amenities you would expect from a hotel in the Marriott group, including free WIFI in all areas of the hotel and onsite meeting rooms. Whilst there is a restaurant in the hotel, there are also plenty of restaurants within a short walk of the hotel, making it a great choice for anyone who would like to explore Bristol during their stay.

Avon Gorge by Hotel Du Vin, Sion Hill, Clifton, Bristol BS8 4LD

In the heart of Clifton Village, just outside the city centre, but still within walking distance, is the stunning Avon Gorge Hotel. This is a historic hotel with the décor to match, and it offers some truly unrivalled views over the surrounding area and, of course, the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Parking at the hotel is limited. However, the hotel does have some parking permits for the village, which can be made available to visitors on a first come, first served basis. Situated on the outskirts of Bristol, this hotel offers a very tranquil stay.

Things To Do

As most project management training courses last for several days, you will probably want to find something to do in the evenings, and Bristol has plenty to offer.

Restaurants

When it comes to dining in Bristol, there are some fantastic restaurants to choose from, with a wealth of different cuisines to choose from.  If, however, you are looking for something a little special, then Bristol is home to two Michelin star restaurants, there are also a number of Michelin plate restaurants and some which have been awarded the Bib Gourmand.

Bulrush is the newest Bristol restaurant to receive a coveted Michelin star. The restaurant, which has been open since 2015, makes great use of fresh organic and foraged ingredients to present a menu that is very inventive and a real contrast in tastes and flavours. The restaurant can be found on Cotham Road, BS6 5TZ. The other Michelin star restaurant in Bristol is Paco Tapas which offers a completely different taste experience. As the name would suggest, this is a tapas restaurant serving a cleverly balanced menu featuring a wide range of tapas and a great selection of Spanish wines alongside. Find Paco Tapas on Lower Guinea St in Redcliffe, BS1 6SY.

Entertainment

When it comes to entertainment, Bristol’s nightlife is legendary. Whether you want to visit a club, see a live gig or visit a bar, there really is something for everyone with a wide range of magic, comedy nights, and even karaoke bars to be found in the city centre.

Bristol has a thriving theatre and performing arts scene with a good number of theatres and the Bristol Hippodrome offering a diverse range of entertainment. Bristol has also been awarded purple flag status, which is similar to the blue flag system for beaches but is an accreditation for a city’s nightlife and evening economy. The purple flag covers all 5 areas of the city: West End, Harbourside, Quayside, Old City, Bristol Shopping Quarter, Old Market Quarter
