Apprenticeship Programme Overview
Either way, if the answer is yes then the Associate Project Manager programme will be a perfect solution for them.
From the knowledge, skills and behaviours gained from this programme learners will know what needs to be achieved with each project, how it will be achieved, how long it will take, how much it will cost and will understand how to work with their project teams to achieve the required outcomes.
They will improve their planning, organisation, leadership, management, communication skills and will understand how to utilises resources with suitable skills, qualifications, experience, and knowledge to work together in a motivated and integrated team, with clearly defined reporting lines, roles, responsibilities, and authorities.
Dependent upon the size of the organisations and the complexity of projects, associate project managers’ job titles will vary, but typically they can include managers, assistant project manager, junior project manager, project team leader. Some organisations use ‘project manager’ as a generic job title.
Upon commencement, apprentices may become student members of the Association for Project Management (APM) as the first step of professional membership.
Apprentices will be eligible for progression to associate membership upon successful completion of the apprenticeship. Full membership can be attained through further experience and professional development.
This programme is fully customisable.

Key to the success of your apprenticeship programme will be for MTD to work in partnership with you to develop your programme so that it reflects your mission, values and behaviours, harnesses core working practices, terminology and wherever possible aligns to or embeds in house training opportunities.
Working in partnership with our curriculum experts we will develop a programme that is unique to your organisation.
The programme will be designed around your exact requirements to ensure that you receive real, tangible outcomes that can be evidenced in the workplace.

Programme Structure
This programme has been designed in a way that will maximise the performance of each learner. Learning the theory of a topic is great but it’s what the learner does to embed the learning and actually use it, that matters most.
All learning is reinforced with ongoing coaching, online resources and off-the-job activity to bring it all to life.
Each part of the programme supports the learner to apply their knowledge and skills via INTENT – IMPLEMENT – IMPACT.
