Really in depth course, covered all project management areas really well. Gave a clear insight into project management and feel a lot more confident after taking the course. The course online was delivered really well by Ruth, great instructor and provided valuable insights into her project management journey which gave clear understanding of the content.
Excellent training material. Appreciate the paper copy study guide. Trainers are excellent.
Ruth was really nice and engaging, with helpful insight about the management topic.
I really enjoyed the course, it was certainly helpful and added value to my knowledge about managing projects.
The Tutor was great and the content covered made giving the exam easier.
Really good course, paced well and got the balance right between preparing for the exam as well as giving some real world skills.
Overall, I found the APM PMQ course to be a valuable qualification and I would like to reiterate that the quality of the training itself was very high. Becky was an excellent trainer who delivered the content professionally, kept the sessions engaging and was extremely supportive throughout the week. My concerns relate primarily to the structure and pace of the course rather than the training delivery. Compressing a programme that is normally delivered over seven weeks into five consecutive days created a very intensive learning environment and, in my view, did not allow sufficient time for delegates to properly absorb, consolidate and apply the material before being assessed. The volume of content covered each day was significant, and without opportunities between sessions for reflection, independent study and reinforcement, I found it increasingly difficult to retain and confidently recall information as the week progressed. By the time of the examination, I did not feel as prepared as I would have expected to feel after completing the course. While I understood many of the concepts when they were taught, I did not have enough time to practise applying that knowledge or identify and address gaps in my understanding. As a result, I believe the delivery model placed unnecessary pressure on delegates and may have impacted examination performance. The examination conditions also contributed to the overall experience, as the lack of air conditioning made the environment uncomfortably hot and affected concentration during an already demanding assessment. In summary, I believe the content, trainer and organisational support were all strong. However, the accelerated delivery format significantly reduced the effectiveness of the learning experience. Given the choice, I would strongly favour a delivery model that includes time between sessions for study, revision and mock exam practice, as this would better support knowledge retention, confidence and exam readiness.
The material and moodle website is very useful to learn and use use for reference
The quick turn around of the marking of the homework questions was incredibly helpful The online portals and study guide had a lot of information
