Project Management Courses 21:06 - Jan 30 with 1651 views | JaySaint | Thinking of getting one of these done, to enhance my portfolio etc. Now, I have been involved in delivering projects and PM was part of my Management degree, but no dedicated/formal PM quals held. I have looked at APM..but anyone else know a good, but not ridiculously hard course to attempt? | |

A colleague of mine only answered 8 and failed dismally! Prince2 is also another but as i understand its more for the public sector. | | | |

I did a three day ACM fundamental course two years ago which was ok, but I’m sure the pass Mark was much higher than 50% | | | |

Project Management Courses on 19:46 - Jan 31 with 1426 views | Berber | My daughter did the APM. 4 years ago she was a successful, highly paid aeronautics engineer, but bored silly with the industry, so decided to go into PM. She did the APM in a year whilst working and a year later got a job with Capita in their PMO at a reduced salary as a contractor. A year later she was offered the post as an employee, with improved salary. A year later, she has just joined PWC in a senior role on MOD projects on a better deal than the aeronautics job. Clearly no issues with the APM qualification. She chose APM because it was a more flexible approach for her, and is well respected. and does not require 2 yearly top ups as per Prince. The MOD normally insist on Prince 2 for their employees, but have no problem with her APM PMQ as a contract project lead. | | | |
