APM Practitioner Qualification Preparation

Small group preparation workshop

The objectives of this half-day or one-day workshop are to: give candidates a briefing on what the PQ assessment centre is and is not; provide candidates with advice on what is required of them at the PQ assessment centre; practise the assimilation of case study materials quickly and the identification of key facts; and, provide experience working under pressure in small groups. The workshop is facilitated by an experienced Assessor and will comprise simulated group working sessions using project scenario materials.

One to one coaching

Often conducted over a few hours, the coaching session will cover what the PQ is and what will be required of the candidate, and will then focus on tailored support around specific assessment criteria. A full understanding of the expected level of capability required will be demonstrated through use of project scenario materials.

Self-study development pack

This development pack was written for self study by a PQ candidate and provides guided use of project scenario.

Who should attend?

Those candidates intending to sit the APM Practitioner Qualification within the next six months. Ideally, the preparation should be at least 4 weeks prior to the assessment event.
