About the course

Our associate project manager apprenticeship provides you with the skills and knowledge to help you become an effective and successful project manager.

We have designed the programme in partnership with specialist project management practitioners who work across the public, private and third sector on a daily basis supporting and managing large, complex projects.

This means that you’ll be provided with real industry knowledge and content with up to date thinking and best practice that is used by professionals today to help you to be an expert project manager too.

Please note the Associate Project Management Apprenticeship is suitable for people already working in a project management role or managing projects daily within similar roles. Unfortunately if you are not working in this capacity, we won’t be able to accept you onto the course.

Is this course right for you?

You must already work on projects daily or be working in a project manager role to be eligible for this course. Whether you’re just starting in your project management career or have some years of experience under your belt though, our Level 4 Associate Project Manager course will provide you with access to a wealth of knowledge that will underpin the development of your professional skills.

It’s essential you’re involved in projects on a daily basis to be able to apply the learning and development of the programme to your day-to-day activities.

The programme covers the theory, skills, and behaviours of professional project management to help you succeed in your role. We have created a programme that includes time to understand the principles of structured project management and applying them to real project situations within your workplace so that learning goes beyond theory and is much more practical and useful in helping you develop your career.

I am so excited to have achieved our accreditation with the Association for Project Management! I’m so proud of the work that has been done over the last 12 months, and of the team that delivers the Level 4 apprenticeship that it was an absolute pleasure to be able to showcase this and I can’t wait to continue that hard work in order to achieve the APM’s ‘gold standard’ which is our next goal!

Owen Piddock, Programme Manager in Business Skills – Realise

Each module positively challenged me, broadened my project management knowledge, and instilled a best-practice approach that I am already applying to all my Early Careers and Apprenticeship initiatives. Realise has a personal touch to ensure their learners get the most out of their apprenticeship experience.
