Projects can be defined and delivered within different contexts, across diverse industry sectors. They can be large or small and every project needs a Project Manager to ensure its success.
An apprenticeship standard in Associate Project Management at level 4 is a nationally recognised route to a wide variety of management professions. The standards and assessment plans that candidates work towards are set by a number of big employers including the Rolls Royce, Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Mail, Transport for Great Manchester and many more.
Candidates will compile a portfolio of evidence demonstrating occupational knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSB). The portfolio is required to be presented in a presentation during the end point assessment (EPA). End Point Assessment (EPA) is the name given to a series of tests a candidate must take at the end of a course to prove their ability to do the job they have been training for. As candidates are required to demonstrate occupational skills and knowledge; employers should ensure that they are involved in projects with a broad scope to address the chosen learning areas.
We will support candidates with one-to-one workplace visits, remote sessions and 7 mandatory training courses to provide and embed the knowledge required to achieve the Level 4 Project Management Qualification.
