Best practice design

Like all our online courses, this APM PFQ course has been designed using the latest best practices in e-learning. While some competitors produce simple, filmed classroom sessions, we believe in a highly interactive approach that engages learners and deepens understanding.

These sessions run every two weeks, allowing you to attend all available sessions within 8 weeks. You can even attend a specific topic session twice if needed. At the end of each session, our trainer will set some homework for you to complete based on the topics covered. At the start of the next session, the trainer will review the homework and ensure that your questions are answered.

Exam Preparation Session

As part of the course, we provide an online, live revision session with an approved trainer to discuss exam tips and last-minute Q&As. This targeted exam prep session is intended to build confidence and ensure learners are ready for the exam.
