The Association for Project Management is the chartered membership organisation for the project profession and its qualifications are widely used to build project knowledge, confidence and professional credibility. Skilltec currently offers both the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) and the APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ).  

Skilltec offers APM training as part of its wider project and programme management portfolio, giving customers access to recognised qualifications alongside Agile, PRINCE2, MSP, Change Management and broader project skills training.
