Project and Programme Management Training
Project and change initiatives are at the heart of how organisations deliver improvement. Whether you are managing a small internal project, leading large programmes or supporting delivery through a PMO or IT service role, you need a clear framework and a practical toolkit.
Our Project and Programme Management training brings together globally recognised methods such as PRINCE2®, AgilePM®, APM, MSP, MOR and Scrum. Our courses help you understand the language, principles and processes behind these frameworks and more importantly, how to apply them in real projects.
Who should attend Project and Programme Management Training
-
New and aspiring project managers through to experienced project managers seeking certification
-
Programme managers, business change leaders, PMO staff and portfolio managers
-
Business analysts and subject matter experts involved in projects
-
IT and service managers supporting project and service transition
Project Management Fundamentals
If you are new to formal project management, our introductory course Project Management for Non-Project Managers provides a solid foundation. It covers the basics of planning, risk, stakeholders, governance and communication, using straightforward tools that can be applied in any role.
This is ideal for people who manage projects alongside their day job and want structure without diving straight into an exam based qualification.
APM Qualifications
These training courses provide a broader, method-independent view of project management. Courses include:
- APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) for those starting out
- APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ) for more experienced professionals
These courses prepare you for the relevant exams and help you apply concepts back in your organisation.
PRINCE2® Qualifications
For those seeking recognised certification, we offer the main PRINCE2® routes.
PRINCE2® courses focus on the PRINCE2® framework, roles, themes and processes, helping you understand how to tailor the method to projects of different sizes and complexities. Options include:
- PRINCE2 (7th Edition) Foundation
- PRINCE2 (7th Edition) Practitioner
- PRINCE2 (7th Edition) Foundation and Practitioner combined
- PRINCE2 Agile Foundation, Practitioner and combined routes
Agile Project Management and Scrum
If your projects use iterative, collaborative approaches, our Agile Project Management and Scrum courses support that way of working.
AgilePM® courses (Foundation, Practitioner and combined) cover principles such as iterative delivery, timeboxing, MoSCoW prioritisation and active stakeholder engagement. They are designed for project managers, business change leads and team members working in agile environments.
Scrum courses focus on team level delivery, roles and ceremonies. Options include training for Scrum Masters and Product Owners so that teams can run sprints effectively and keep value and feedback at the centre of their work.
Programme, Change and Risk Management
Large scale change often needs more than project level control. Our programme, change and risk courses help you manage complexity and strategic outcomes.
- MSP (Managing Successful Programmes) supports those leading multiple related projects or transformation initiatives. It provides a framework for aligning programmes with organisational strategy, managing benefits and governing complex change.
- APMG Change Management courses (Foundation, Practitioner and combined) explore how individuals and organisations experience change, and how to plan and lead change in a structured, people-centred way.
- MoR (Management of Risk) helps you design a consistent approach to identifying, assessing and controlling risk across projects, programmes and portfolios.
DevOps Foundation
DevOps Foundation provides a shared understanding of how development and operations teams can work together to deliver change faster and more reliably. It is suitable for IT managers, delivery leads and technical professionals involved in modern service and product delivery.
If you are unsure which framework or level is right for you, we can help you choose a route based on your experience, role and goals.

Project and Programme Management Courses FAQ
Which Project or Programme Management course should I choose?
If you are new to projects, Project Management for Non Project Managers or APM PFQ is a good starting point. If you need a widely recognised method for structured projects, PRINCE2 is often the first choice. If you want a broader, method independent view, APM PMQ may suit you better. For complex change or portfolios of projects, MSP and Change Management become more relevant. If you are unsure, then we are happy to have a chat with you to help you determine the best pathway for you.
Do I need previous Project Management experience?
Foundation level courses such as Project Management for Non Project Managers, APM PFQ and PRINCE2 Foundation assume little or no formal project management experience, although some exposure to projects is helpful. Practitioner and higher level courses expect that you have worked in a project role and understand the basics. Each course description outlines recommended prerequisites.
Do your courses prepare me for certification exams?
Yes. Our course are the vendor official curriculum courses that are aligned to enable you to take the related exam where applicable. You can find details on this on each course page, which exam it supports and provide guidance on how to prepare.
Do your courses include the exam?
Many of our PRINCE2, AgilePM, APM, APMG and other accredited courses include the relevant exam as part of the package, while some offer the option to add the exam separately. The individual course page will confirm what is included.
Can the courses be delivered just for our organisation?
Yes. Any of our project and programme management courses can be delivered as a closed session for a single organisation, either virtually or onsite. This allows us to tailor examples, discussions and emphasis to your frameworks, governance and project types.
Will the training be relevant to my industry?
The methods we teach, such as PRINCE2, AgilePM, MSP and APM, are designed to be applied across sectors. Our trainers use examples from a wide range of industries and in closed company courses we incorporate your own projects and language so that the content feels directly relevant.
