What APM does for project management in the UK The Association for Project Management (APM) is the chartered professional body for project management in the United Kingdom. In practice, it works to improve how projects, programmes, and portfolios are delivered by providing a recognised

qualifications framework , professional standards, and membership pathways for a

Blendedproject manager and wider delivery roles. APM’s activities commonly relate to:

Professional membership and recognition, including progression through membership grades.Qualifications and certification that assess knowledge and professional competence.CPD

< expectations and learning resources to support ongoing capability.APM qualifications are designed to support learning and professional development across different career stages, from introductory project management to more advanced competence assessment. The best starting point depends on your experience, the

project management methodology used in your organisation (for example PRINCE2 environments), and whether you need knowledge validation or professional recognition.

If you’re booking as an individual, choose the route that best fits your learning preference and career goals – and if you’re unsure, we can help you decide.
