Decision

The Association of Project Management (APM) training for project managers from the Regeneration and Economic Development team will take place in November via five in-person sessions run by PM Academy. The course offers accredited APM training, helping learners to develop into confident and capable project professionals. There will be a closed book exam to finish.

Reasons for the decision

To progress the onward training and qualifications of the Council's project managers leading on major projects.
Course chosen because it includes -
Chartered-body alignment: Fully aligned to APM’s Body of Knowledge.
Practitioner-led delivery: Delivered by experienced project professionals.
Outcome-focused learning: Built for confidence, competence, and exam readiness.
Flexible formats: Options that fit around operational commitments.

Alternative options considered

Other suppliers were considered but PM Academy offered the most cost effective option being able to train in-person over multiple dates and for a large team.
