Advanced Professional Certificate in Construction Project Management

(formerly called the RIBA Certificate in Construction Project Management)

Accredited by the Association for Project Management for their PMQ and PPQ qualifications.

This short course in construction project management is designed for

• Construction professionals who are trained within a design profession or in construction management (architects, structural engineers, designers, construction),
• or those who have three or more years’ experience in project management.

Its relevance is to those who want

• to become truly competent in Project Management, managing the process and lead the project team in a professional, skilled way,
• to gain membership of the APM.

Our aim is to teach you to become a successful project manager; taking time to instil competence from the start. We work with each individual to ensure that they master the learning and are able to apply it in practical situations which may be complex and demanding. It is not a ‘cramming’course that fills you with information so you can tackle an exam immediately. We believe each student should work at their own pace.

The APM exams are not included in the course, these are arranged by the student directly with the APM when they are ready to take them. This is normally after a couple of months or more, to give the student time to reflect on the course learning, and to start to implement it in their job. This is the way to embed the new knowledge and make it truly effective.

The course is structured in learning ‘Blocks’ consisting two days of classroom time linked by distance learning exercises. At the end of the course you will have a firm foundation and sufficient depth of knowledge to have confidence in your understanding of project management. The overall length of study is three to four months. For the duration of the course tutors are available to help and guide you.

Individual support will be given to those who are preparing to take the APM's PPQ or PMQ exams, or applying to become a Chartered Member. Block 4 is a one day exam preparation and revision session

On satisfactory completion of each block you will be awarded a Certificate of Achievement.
