APM PFQ Course details

The APM PFQ course is a SCQF Level 6 qualification from the Association for Project Management, the UK’s chartered body for the project profession. It covers 10 learning outcomes aligned to the APM Body of Knowledge 7th edition, giving you a structured understanding of the full project life cycle – from concept and definition through to deployment, transition, and close.

The PFQ syllabus covers planning, scheduling, communication, teamwork, resource management, risk management, quality management, and roles and responsibilities within projects. Assessment is a 60-question multiple-choice exam lasting one hour, with a pass mark of 60%. There are no prerequisites.

Training ByteSize is an APM Accredited Training Provider. We have delivered APM training for over 30 years and are ranked among the top five APM training providers globally.

By the end of the course, you will:

  • Understand the key elements of the APM project lifecycle
  • Be confident using recognised project management terminology
  • Recognise the roles, responsibilities and success factors within projects
