The APMP with prior learning three-day course is for those individuals who are registered PRINCE2® Practitioners and wish to gain the APMP qualification. Suitable candidates are those who are currently registered with the APMG which means that they became a PRINCE2® Practitioner or have re-registered within the last five years. The APM recognises the subjects which were examined by PRINCE2® and so the APMP with prior learning syllabus and examination are reduced accordingly.
What are the course objectives?
The primary purpose of this course is to prepare delegates for the successful completion of the APMP two-hour, closed book, examination. The course covers the shortened syllabus of 25 of the APM body of knowledge (BoK) subject areas and in undertaking this course candidates learn a huge amount in a short time about the theory, techniques and application of project management.
The course is structured around the 25 APM BoK topics, which are determined by the syllabus for the APMP examination. The focus is on providing knowledge, principles and best practices in project management. APMP assesses the candidate’s breadth of knowledge in all areas of project management, from strategic and commercial implications, to the technical, organisational, and people management skills required to participate effectively within a project team. The course is made up of tutor-led sessions with practical examples, group syndicate work, homework, and solution notes. To ensure that candidates are suitably ready for the exam, CITI provides a short mock exam, taken under exam conditions. A week of directed self-study leads to the examination.
What are the key topics?
- teaching of the key project management topics defined by the APM Body of Knowledge
- rehearsal on examination approach and technique

What is the course format?
