PL Projects supported various optimisation projects with planning expertise and helped compile As Is process flows. They also delivered PM & planning training to team members to ensure the team were developed in project skills to ensure self-sufficiency moving forwards. The projects required detailed planning which applied both waterfall & agile methodology. The project scope & timelines were constantly changing & evolving and PLP supported the management of this effectively. They have been a collaborative partner since June 2023, have worked as an integral part of our team, and have always been amenable regardless of requirements. This is a demanding, complex environment, in an ever-changing landscape and they have approached every obstacle in a professional way whilst also challenging where & when required.

FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About our project management training

Thinking about taking a project management course but not sure where to start? Our FAQ section covers the most common questions from aspiring professionals and businesses alike. Whether you’re wondering about course content, certification, delivery methods or career outcomes, we’ve got you covered.

The APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) is ideal for those new to project management. It provides a clear introduction to key concepts, language, and practices, and is widely recognised across industries in the UK. This course helps learners build a solid foundation before progressing to more advanced qualifications such as the PMQ

Yes, all of our core project management courses are fully accredited by the Association for Project Management (APM), the chartered body for the project profession in the UK. Accreditation ensures the quality, credibility, and industry relevance of our training, giving learners and employers confidence in the value of the qualification.

We offer flexible delivery options, including fully online, in-person, and hybrid formats. Online training is delivered live by expert trainers using interactive tools, ensuring a dynamic and engaging learning experience. In-person sessions can be arranged at client sites or training centres, depending on your preferences and location.

The PFQ is an introductory course aimed at learners with little or no prior knowledge of project management. The PMQ, on the other hand, is more in-depth and suitable for those with some experience who want to gain a broader understanding and a recognised qualification. The PMQ covers more complex topics, such as project governance, risk management, and lifecycle models.

This apprenticeship is available to UK-based learners aged 16 or over who are employed and working in a role with project responsibilities. Employers can use their Apprenticeship Levy or government funding to cover the full cost of the programme. It’s designed to support early-career professionals as they develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to succeed as project managers.

Yes. Each APM-accredited course includes a formal assessment—either a multiple-choice test (PFQ), written exam (PMQ), or coursework (risk courses and apprenticeship). Upon passing, learners receive a recognised APM certificate, which is a valuable asset for career progression and professional credibility in the UK project management industry.

Absolutely. We specialise in customised training for organisations, delivering courses for groups of employees either online, in person, or on-site. This allows teams to train together, align on best practices, and embed project management principles across departments. We can also tailor content and scheduling to suit your organisation’s goals and operational needs.

APM Accreditation

Trusted Certifications for project professionals.

All our training courses – including the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ), Project Management Qualification (PMQ), and Risk Management Level 1 – are fully accredited by the Association for Project Management (APM). As an accredited project management training provider, we ensure you receive recognised, industry-leading certifications that boost your career and skills with trusted, high-quality learning experiences.
