Use your Standard Learning Credits

Our team at IPSO FACTO has more than 24 years experience delivering project management training to business, project professionals and those going through resettlement with the ELCAS scheme. As an accredited APM training provider we’d like to encourage more people into the good practice of project management, that includes valuable skills useful in many areas of business and the armed forces.

We’ve successfully completed many APM Project Fundamentals Qualification courses where candidates used their Standard Learning Credits (SLC) to contribute to the cost of training, course materials and exam. The course has been heavily discounted, so with the SLC contribution it means the cost of the course is well within reach.

This qualification is the first out of four for those wanting to expand their project management prospects to ultimately become a Chartered Project Professional (ChPP).

What Project Management Qualification should you consider next

You have a choice of either AgilePM® Foundation and Practitioner or PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner. On completion of one or both qualifications then an APM Project Management Qualification is a good next step. The benefit of taking PRINCE2 before the APM PMQ is that you then have a choice of either a 2 hour and 3 hour PMQ exam. Current popular project management qualifications bundles are AgilePM and APM PMQ.

Its not always recommended to take the APM PMQ straight after an APM PFQ without some considerable project management experience. There’s a huge difference between the two qualifications and that’s why we recommend choosing either AgilePM or PRINCE2 as your next option.
