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 Doncaster

About Doncaster

A large minster town in South Yorkshire, Doncaster is named after the river Don which flows through it; it is the second largest town in South Yorkshire after Sheffield. Doncaster is famed for its racing and is home to one of the oldest racecourses in the world. It is also host to the Doncaster Cup and the St. Leger Stakes – two famous horse races. Attending a project management course in Doncaster you will find it to be a very accessible location.

Transport

Doncaster benefits from a robust transport network making it very easy to travel to. Doncaster Sheffield Airport (formerly known as Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield) is an international airport which is located just 6 miles southeast of Doncaster. Doncaster is easily accessed via excellent motorway links, which include the M1, M18, A1, M62 and M180, all of which place it at the heart of the UK’s motorway route and make it easily accessible from all over the country. As well as a great local transport network which makes it easy to get around Doncaster there is also a centrally located bus interchange which has a link to the train station. There are fast and frequent mainline train services linking Doncaster to the rest of the UK – Sheffield is just 22 minutes away, Manchester 1 hour 20 minutes and London King’s Cross just 1 hour 28 minutes.

Where to Stay

Some project management training courses can last several days, so you will want to find a hotel nearby to stay in for the duration of your course. Doncaster has a good selection of suitable 4-star hotels to consider.

Best Western Premier Mount Pleasant Hotel

The Best Western Premier Mount Pleasant Hotel is a superbly located hotel just 1 mile from Doncaster Sheffield International Airport and close to all of the main transport links. This is a country house hotel in a great tranquil location providing the perfect place to relax at the end of a day of learning. With free onsite parking and electric car charging points, the hotel is also ideal for anyone who prefers to bring their own transport. This hotel is also a good choice for anyone needing somewhere that is fully accessible.

The Earl of Doncaster – Bennetthorpe, Doncaster DN2 6AD

The Earl of Doncaster is the largest independent hotel in Doncaster. It is a superbly located hotel just 500 metres from both the racecourse and the town centre. It is easy to access from the rail station, which is 1 mile away, and the airport is a 15-minute drive. The great transport links to the town centre make this a very good choice of hotel.

The hotel benefits from free Wi-Fi and free parking and has a superb selection of contemporary rooms. The onsite business centre and conference facilities make this a great base to also conduct a project management training course.

The Crown – Market Pl, High St, Bawtry, Doncaster DN10 6TJ

Located on the outskirts of Doncaster, the Crown Hotel in Bawtry is a quirky hotel with a great mixture of rustic charm and contemporary features. The hotel has plenty of facilities, including an onsite restaurant serving locally sourced produce. It benefits from free Wi-Fi and parking and also has conference rooms. It is just 3 miles from the airport, making it a very accessible option away from the noise of the town centre.

Meeting rooms

Not all of the hotels we have mentioned have meeting room facilities that can be used for training courses, but some people prefer to stay and separate their accommodation and training facilities. There are plenty of meeting rooms to hire in and around the Doncaster area that makes the perfect base for your project management training.

Workhere – 3 Cavendish Court, S Parade, Doncaster DN1 2DJ

Workhere is a brand new co-working workspace in the centre of Doncaster. Whilst it was originally conceived as a space to allow people to rent individual office space, it also has a range of meeting rooms that can accommodate between 4-10 people. With TV screens and Wi-Fi, these make a great base for project management training courses and are situated a very short walk from the town centre and all forms of public transport. There is also onsite parking.

Mercure Doncaster Danum Hotel

A centrally located 3-star hotel, the Mercure is ideally located for training courses. The hotel has been fully refurbished and has all of the facilities you would need. There are a range of meeting rooms that can accommodate groups from 4 all the way up to 60 people depending on the layout required.

Things To Do

If your project management training course will be taking place over several days, then you will want to find something to fill your evenings in Doncaster.

Restaurants

When it comes to restaurants, Doncaster offers a rather eclectic selection of cuisines from all over the world. With Indian, Mexican, Italian and Brazilian restaurants mingling nicely amongst bistros and seafood restaurants. Whatever you are looking there should be a restaurant to suit your taste buds, budget and style.

If you fancy trying somewhere a little special, then, unfortunately, you will have to travel a little distance as the closest Michelin star restaurants to Doncaster are situated on the outskirts of Sheffield. However, Jöro offers an incredible menu that is worth travelling for. This stylish but simple Michelin star restaurant has tasting menus that mix Asian, New Nordic and British cuisine to create flavour sensations.

Entertainment

The social scene in Doncaster is on the quiet side; however, that doesn’t mean that there still isn’t plenty to do. Doncaster has a cinema and two good-sized theatres, including Cast. A jewel in the crown for Yorkshire, this very new venue offers a range of more contemporary offerings.

There are plenty of pubs in and around the centre of the town, offering plenty of Yorkshire charm as well. In addition to the more traditional pub that you might expect, there are also a couple of bars that offer more specialised beers. The Ukrainian Centre in Doncaster is also home to The Roots Music Club, a venue offering music from Folk to Blues and beyond.
