The APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ) helps build your career by achieving a broad level of project management knowledge sufficient to participate in projects of all sizes. By the end of the course, you'll be able to demonstrate an understanding of how critical elements of project management interact and how your project fits into your strategic and commercial environment.
