The APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) is a practical, introductory course designed to help individuals understand how projects work and how they are managed effectively.
Developed by the Association for Project Management (APM), the PFQ provides a clear and structured introduction to project management concepts, terminology, and best practice, aligned to the APM Body of Knowledge.
This 2-day course is ideal for those who work on projects, support project delivery, or want to explore project management as a career pathway, without needing prior experience or formal project management training.
