The Association for Project Management (often referred to as APM) is a registered charity in the United Kingdom, which aims to develop and promote the professional disciplines of project management and programme management, through a programme called the "Five Dimensions of Professionalism".[1] The APM provides products and services including registered membership and qualifications, events, publications and online services. APM headquarters is located at Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire where they employ 54 people.[2]
APM Qualifications are designed with the intention of demonstrating to employers, clients and suppliers that the recipient is a skilled and committed project professional. Through alignment with IPMA's 4 level Certification programme[3] they also aim to provide international recognition. APM currently has over 19 000 individual members and 500 corporate members.
APM Registered Project Professional (RPP) is a professional pan-sector standard issued by the APM to project and programme management professionals. To obtain the RPP designation candidates must demonstrate the capabilities of a responsible leader, have the ability to manage a complex project and use appropriate tools, processes and techniques.
