The APM PFQ BOK7 is an introductory qualification that offers a fundamental awareness of project management terminology, offering a broad understanding of the principles of the profession. Being the BOK7 version of the APM PFQ, it is aligned to the APM Body of Knowledge 7th Edition which the APM released in 2020.
Holding your APM PFQ will demonstrate to your employer, clients and suppliers that you are a skilled and committed project professional.
The Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) is accredited by the APM; The Association for Project Management (APM). The APM is the only chartered body for the project profession, with over 30,000 individual members and more than 500 organisations participating in the Corporate Partnership Programme.
The APM Project Fundamentals Qualification provides an introduction to the fundamentals of project management. It covers all the areas you’ll need to know about in order to run successful projects within your organisation. You’ll learn about planning and scheduling, communication, teamwork, resource management, project risk management and project reviews. Critically, you’ll also get to grips with the terminology that’s used within project management, so you can converse with confidence.
No prior knowledge or project management experience is required before undertaking the APM PFQ course.
Every organisation has its own ways of working when it comes to project management. People may have varying approaches, tools and measures of success for each project they undertake. By learning the fundamentals of project management within the APM PFQ course, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of best practice so you can undertake projects with knowledge and confidence for the best chance of success.
You’ll also learn the correct project management terminology so you can communicate confidently with stakeholders, managers and clients. Finally, you’ll complete the course with a thorough and practical introduction to project management and will be able to start undertaking and managing projects with successful outcomes.

This is an introductory level course so you need not have any project management experience to undertake the course. In fact, it can be useful to complete the APM PFQ course before you begin your project management career so you learn how to do things the ‘right’ way from the start, rather than learning bad habits or assimilating to one company’s way of working, which may not be the most effective. The same applies to companies that are new to project management and want their teams to gain best practice methodology for running projects.
The course is also available as a group session. This option is ideal for project teams or relevant people within your business who would benefit from learning the fundamentals of project management. Most businesses, across all industries, will run projects in some shape or form. So the APM PFQ course is suitable for any individuals who manage projects within businesses of different sizes and industries.
There are multiple options available for you to undertake your APM Project Fundamentals Qualification course with Training ByteSize.
