APM PROJECT FUNDAMENTALS QUALIFICATION (PFQ)

Fundamentally, project management terminology and concepts have been widely accepted into the way in which many modern enterprises are managed. In that sense, a qualification such as the Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) can serve as a practical introduction into the subject as well as an internationally recognised qualification from the Association for Project Management (APM).

WHAT IS IT?

The PFQ course takes a practical look at some of the key theoretical ideas of project management and explores how these relate and are applied to the modern workplace. It is an excellent introduction to the core concepts of the profession, offering a fundamental awareness of project management processes, roles and terminology.

This full time, 3-day course is intended to prepare participants for the PFQ multi-choice examination on the final day.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The PFQ is suitable for a broad range of professionals from a number of different industries and backgrounds. This course has been designed for individuals who are relatively new to the world of project management, wanting to gain a broad understanding of the key terminology and principles. No prior project management knowledge or experience is required.

HOW IS IT STRUCTURED?

The online course is presented in a classroom-style delivery via a live video-conferencing platform. Our experienced tutors will take you through the course materials online where you will be engaged with the delivery and able to clarify any points as they might occur.
