Why Project Management?

Every industry runs on projects — from construction and IT to healthcare, finance, and government.

Skilled Project Managers are responsible for delivering change, managing budgets, leading teams, and ensuring objectives are achieved on time and within scope.

Current UK average salaries include:

• Project Administrator – £30,000
• Project Coordinator – £33,000
• Junior Project Manager – £38,500
• PRINCE2 Project Manager – £61,500
• Senior Project Manager – £70,000+

With experience, project professionals can move into senior leadership or contract positions with significant daily rates.

If you are dependable, organised, motivated, and confident communicating with stakeholders, this could be your ideal career path.

How It Works

Step 1 – APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ)

Begin with the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification, awarded by the Association for Project Management — the only chartered body for project management professionals.

You’ll learn:

• Core project principles
• Project lifecycles
• Governance and stakeholder management
• Risk and resource planning

Study time: ~20 hours

Assessment: 1-hour multiple choice exam

You’ll receive exam simulators, revision tools, and a live online revision workshop before sitting your exam.

This qualification sets you on the pathway toward becoming a Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) with further study and experience.

Step 2 – PRINCE2 Foundation

PRINCE2 is one of the most recognised project management methodologies worldwide and a key requirement for many UK roles.

You’ll learn:

• Structured, process-driven project delivery
• Project stages and controls
• Roles and responsibilities
• Risk and quality management

Study time: ~15–20 hours

Assessment: 1-hour multiple choice exam

Online learning includes revision tools and a dedicated exam preparation workshop.

Step 3 – Project Management Simulation

Gain practical experience through our exclusive online Project Simulation.

You’ll:

• Work through a realistic project scenario
• Shadow a virtual Project Manager
• Make decisions across the project lifecycle
• Submit your work for tutor grading

This gives you tangible, practical experience to discuss in interviews and strengthens your CV.

Step 4 – Recruitment Support

Once qualified, our recruitment support team will begin working with you to secure your first entry-level role in project management.

You’ll receive:

• Professional CV review tailored to your qualifications
• Job application guidance
• Mock interviews
• Ongoing career coaching
• Advice on suitable gateway roles (Project Administrator, Project Coordinator, PMO roles)

Most candidates secure their first role within 1-3 months of qualifying — often sooner in major cities.
