Project Management Fundamentals (PFQ)

Who should attend?

This 3-day course is for all managers looking to use project management techniques to improve control over their workload.  You don’t need to have the title Project Manager to have responsibilities for delivering outputs.  Time and resource pressures affect us all, so we could use some project management tools and techniques to help us stay in control.

Why should you attend?

The PFQ is the first step in the APM suite of certifications and during the course you will develop a broad understanding of the key elements of the APM Body of Knowledge (BoK). You will gain a fundamental awareness of project management terminology; a broad understanding of the principles of the profession and the knowledge to make a positive contribution to any project.
