Gaining your APM Certificated Project Manager (CPM)
Assessment for this qualification can only be undertaken trough the APM.
Visit http://www.apm.org.uk/CertificatedProjectManager.asp for more details.
CPM assesses an individual’s competence in managing projects. Competence is the ability to acquire and apply your project management knowledge and skills in an appropriate context.
The assessment comprises three stages:
- Stage 1 - Submission of application – completion of an application form, a self assessment form including a statement of strengths and weaknesses, curriculum vitae and a project précis.
- Stage 2 - Completion of a project report.
- Stage 3 - A professional interview with a panel of assessors.
Certification at this level is a demonstration of competence and not a test of academic achievement or of knowledge, which would be examined at a lower level.
Participation in the certification process enables individuals to improve their self-awareness, reflect upon, and learn from, their experience.
