The APM Practitioner Qualification – IPMA Level C

What is the Practitioner Qualification?

The Practitioner Qualification (IPMA Level C) based on a residential assessment and is recognised nationally and internationally through our association with the IPMA (International Project Management Association).

Who is the Practitioner Qualification for?

The Practitioner Qualification is for relatively experienced professionals (project management practitioners) who can demonstrate an ability to manage a non-complex project. You should typically have at least 3 years experience and hold either the APM PMQ qualification or demonstrate a good understanding of the APM Body of Knowledge with relevant Continuing Professional Development.

The course dates below consist of a 1-day Pre Assessment and a 2 1/2 -day Assessment. The start date is the 1 day Pre-Assessment and the end date is the end of the 2 1/2 -day Assessment.

What is assessed?

You will be assessed against 30 criteria and need to demonstrate that you can:

• Understand project context and the overall business case;
• Effectively apply project management planning;
• Apply a risk management process competently to the project;
• Optimise project plans to respond to a major change;
• Monitor project progress and take suitable controlling action;
• Plan and conduct a suitable post project evaluation review;
• Work effectively as a team member.

How is it assessed?

Qualification is achieved through a two-and-a-half-day assessment focussing on:

Individual work: You will be expected to answer written questions based on a case study and answer a question regarding current issues in project management.

Group work: Working in groups you will be observed discussing and solving problems related to the case study.

Interview: Candidates will be interviewed by their assessors.

What are the benefits?

Becoming a certified APM Project Management Practitioner demonstrates that you have both the technical knowledge, the practical experience and the behavioural attributes necessary to combine these and deliver a successful project.
