APM PMQ Examination and Learning Review The APM PMQ examination is knowledge-based and forms an integral part of the Apprenticeship. We work with the Employer to decide when Apprentices are ready for examination and prepare them for the event. Apprentices are given a 3-days refresher training session to consolidate their learning, review their notes and practice examination technique.
Ongoing Development The development, review and assessment cycle we have established enables the Apprentices to enhance their knowledge, reflect on good practice, and deepen their understanding of the project management areas and role in the organisation. We work with the Employer to identify development opportunities and interventions. Additional modules allow for seamless integration with the programme and the Apprentices competence development.
Gateway We work with the Employer to decide when Apprentices are ready for Evidence for End-Point Assessment. We ensure Employers gain a holistic view of the Apprentices while on-programme and their progression through an e-portfolio management information system. As part of the programme, we can also facilitate an internal End-Point Assessment panel in which Apprentices practice their submissions, presentations and interview technique and, through reflection and feedback, provide them with the best chance for success.
End-Point Assessment The End-Point Assessment for as carried out by an independent assessment organisation and lasts about 1hr. It consists of two parts: A Presentation on 5 pre-chosen learning areas which were applied by the Apprentice in the workplace. A Professional Discussion questions around 10 pre-chosen learning areas which were applied by the Apprentice in the workplace. On passing the Apprenticeship, the independent End-Point Assessment organisation calls for certification from the Awarding Body – a worthy recognition of the Apprentices' hard work and achievement.
