Thinking of getting one of these done, to enhance my portfolio etc.
Now, I have been involved in delivering projects and PM was part of my Management degree, but no dedicated/formal PM quals held.
I have looked at APM..but anyone else know a good, but not ridiculously hard course to attempt? |  |

APM is a great qualification, did it myself around 8yrs ago, if i remember correctly you had to get over 50% in exam to pass so not too high, but you really did have to answer all the questions to give yourself a chance (10 questions from about 15 i think) and i remember having no spare time at all at the end, achieved about 65% i think!
A colleague of mine only answered 8 and failed dismally!
Prince2 is also another but as i understand its more for the public sector. | | | |

I did a three day ACM fundamental course two years ago which was ok, but I’m sure the pass Mark was much higher than 50% |  | | |

The Learning People PM course is very comprehensive, long and expensive. Easy to lose the will to live.
Thoroughly recommended. | | | |

My daughter did the APM. 4 years ago she was a successful, highly paid aeronautics engineer, but bored silly with the industry, so decided to go into PM. She did the APM in a year whilst working and a year later got a job with Capita in their PMO at a reduced salary as a contractor. A year later she was offered the post as an employee, with improved salary. A year later, she has just joined PWC in a senior role on MOD projects on a better deal than the aeronautics job. Clearly no issues with the APM qualification.
She chose APM because it was a more flexible approach for her, and is well respected. and does not require 2 yearly top ups as per Prince. The MOD normally insist on Prince 2 for their employees, but have no problem with her APM PMQ as a contract project lead. |  | | |

I’m doing the ILM through work. It’s an eighteen month course, more or less, and is a pain in the arse.
I wish I hadn’t agreed to do it to be honest. [Post edited 1 Feb 2021 8:29]
