No, the course assumes you have no experience on the topics of the course. Anyone can attend the course.

No, none of our courses requires you to have IT skills.

There are no prerequisites for the foundation examinations. However, candidates must achieve a pass at foundation level before completing the practitioner examination.

The exams are online. The trainer will invigilate, and we will provide the exam slots (weekdays, during office hours) to choose from on the last day of the course. When taking an online exam in an office environment you may need local administrator permissions on your computer and your office firewall may block necessary connections.

If a candidate fails an exam, a resit fee is to be paid, and our trainers will give a free feedback and recap session. 

APMG foundation examinations can be marked on location after the exam, but this is down to the discretion of the invigilator at the time. Practitioner and re-registration answer booklets are marked at APMG-International offices and results released soon after. Your result will be sent to us approximately 7-10 days after your exam date. We will notify you of your results. If you did not take your exam through an ATO, your results will be sent directly to you via the relevant APMG International office approximately 7-10 days after the date of your exam.

Many delegates report increased confidence in their skills after the training. We believe the importance of confidence is often underrated in organisations. The truth is to progress your career in the right direction you need confidence. It is no surprise many of our learners report an increase in confidence and job satisfaction.  Moreover, the certification gives you recognition and if you are already working as an IT professional it will formalise your knowledge. As a result your employers, stakeholders or clients will trust you that you can deliver quality work in an efficient way. 

I thought the course was the BEST professional course that I have been on! I really learned a lot, and feel that Requirement Engineering in particular is the couuse that will set my career in the correct direction.
