APM Project Fundamentals training courses- self-paced APM PFQ course

Blended online APM PFQ course

Our APM PFQ blended online course combines the flexibility of self-paced study with the support of live, expert-led sessions, providing a complete and adaptable learning experience.

Learning technology

The self-study course has been designed with the latest web technologies, so it works on Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android. It is fully responsive, so it fits any device and screen size – desktop, tablet and mobile. No browser plugins or installation files are required.

Best practice design

Like all our online courses, this APM PFQ course has been designed using the latest best practices in e-learning. While some competitors produce simple, filmed classroom sessions, we believe in a highly interactive approach that engages learners and deepens understanding.

Specific Topic Sessions

In addition to our self-paced course, we offer online, live, trainer-led sessions designed to cover specific challenging topics. These sessions run every two weeks, allowing you to attend all available sessions within 8 weeks. You can even attend a specific topic session twice if needed. After each session, you will complete an assignment, which will be marked within one week. We encourage direct communication with our trainers to discuss your assignments and the topics covered in the live sessions.

Exam Preparation Session

As part of the course, we provide an online, live revision session with an approved trainer to discuss exam tips and last-minute Q&As. This targeted exam prep session is intended to build confidence and ensure learners are ready for the exam.

Benefits of the APM PFQ blended online course

Our blended format is ideal for busy professionals. By studying in this blended format rather than in a classroom, you gain several key benefits:

  • Saves you time – No need to travel to a course venue or exam centre; take your APM PFQ exam online.
  • Saves you money – Our APM PFQ course is competitively priced and includes exam fees, so there are no extra costs.
  • Flexible schedule – Study whenever it suits you, with live sessions available every two weeks to support your learning.
  • Personalised support – Get targeted guidance with live topic sessions and exam prep session to reinforce your understanding of the challenging concepts and build confidence.
  • Flexible delivery – Access on any device, so you can study on the go, even in a coffee shop!
