It gives a clear, holistic view of project strategy, planning, control and people management. This is leading to effective open learning initiatives. We have spent the last two years pioneering a unique and radical approach to project management education. Starting with the forty Body of Knowledge subjects as a base we have developed a modular training programme that can be delivered in a wide variety of formats. These include classroom, simulation and distance learning courses.
Project managers can brush up on a single subject or complete a full accredited education programme.
Each person is assessed as an individual with their own training needs, requirements and objectives. The skill areas identified by the APM include Project Management, Organisation and People, Techniques and Procedures and General Management. Each company, or individual, can select the modules they wish to study and the level of expertise they want to reach. The Review module is designed for managers who have studiedthe subject sometime in the past and wish to update their knowledge. It is also used where a basic appreciation of the subject, rather than a detailed understanding, is all that is required in the workplace.
