This APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ) course from University of Westminster is a knowledge-based award developed and accredited by the Association for Project Management (APM), the only chartered body for the project profession. This five-day course will help you understand how the various elements of a project fit together and how projects of all sizes and scope fit into the strategic and commercial environment.
