The training was brilliant and I have implemented some of the tools and techniques at work which has lowered stress levels and freed up some of my time!
Very engaging, relative and well presented. Brought the Study Guide to life and put it into context of the work environment that is Housing delivery.

Overview
The course helps delegates to control their schemes more effectively, and introduces tools that help deal with typical day-to-day problems and issues faced by Development & Regeneration staff. It is the first step towards a professional qualification.
The Association for Project Management’s (APM) Project Fundamentals Qualification (previously called the Introductory Certificate in Project Management) is designed to enable successful candidates to understand the language of project management and the structure of a successful project. After attending the course, delegates will be able to take an active part in a project team and make a positive contribution to any project environment.
This course is suitable for:
- Development / regeneration / asset management staff involved in delivering projects who have not had training in formal project management
- Senior executives and Board members who want an overview of project management, to better understand good practice
- Housing Management, Lettings, Sales, Maintenance or Community Regeneration staff who contribute to the development of new housing scheme or have to deliver other projects (such as a review of void management processes, establishing an effective Resident Panel, re-tendering Term Contracts etc)
- Anyone intending to progress to the professionally-recognised Project Management Qualification
