Blended online APM PMQ course

Our APM PMQ 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 PMQ 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 10 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 actively encourage direct communication with our associates to discuss your home 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 PMQ blended online course

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