APM Project Management Certifications
As an accredited training provider, QA offers a full range of APM qualification courses.
APM PFQ is the first step in the APM suite of certifications and provides a fundamental awareness of project management. It also gives learners a broad understanding of the principles of the profession and the skills to make a positive contribution to projects.
The Project Management Qualification (PMQ) is a knowledge-based qualification and is APM’s most popular certification, enabling you to demonstrate knowledge of all elements of project management.
PPQ is targeted at those who already possess several years project management experience, potentially in large-scale or complex projects.
APMG Project Management Certifications

This two-day APMG accredited course provides participants with a basic grounding in the DSDM Agile Project Management framework. The courses includes the APMG Agile Project Management Foundation exam.
This three-day accredited course provides participants with a thorough grounding in the DSDM Agile Project Management framework. The course includes the in-depth Practitioner-level examination of how a project manager applies the framework.
This five-day accredited course provides participants with a thorough grounding in the DSDM Agile Project Management framework. It is comprised of a Foundation-level introduction to the framework, and an in-depth Practitioner-level examination of how a project manager applies the framework.
MSP Certifications
We are fully MSP accredited. The Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) qualification is the main recognised qualification for programme management worldwide and is aimed at project, programme and business change managers who are delivering change into their organisations.
The course focuses on the components of the MSP framework and how they help to create outcomes of benefit while mitigating risks and actively engaging stakeholders.
MSP 5th edition consists of a set of principles, themes and processes that provide a clear roadmap for the programme lifecycle and ensure successful organizational outcomes.
Take a combined course to gain both MSP Foundation and Practitioner certifications.
MSP is the go-to certification and guidance for programme managers, business change managers and the next step for project managers to develop their knowledge and skills to be able to positively respond to the challenges they face when managing programmes and larger, more strategic or multiple projects.
