APMP Course Project Management Fundamentals The APM's APMP Qualification is a foundation level qualification for those working in project management who need to understand project management in order to achieve efficiency and effectiveness. The Qualification is derived from the APM Body of Knowledge. The Syllabus and BOK are available from the APM. This five day intensive course, which includes an examination at the APMP standard, has been developed by Jane Walker, Matthew Whyndham, Alan Smith and Albert Lester with input from UCL colleagues and is taught by them and other experienced project managers. The course provides delegates with knowledge of a range of concepts, tools and techniques from which it is possible to build a project management process appropriate to their context. Delegates are taught in small groups which fosters a friendly atmosphere of mutual assistance and experience-based learning.
