Leadership and Management FAQs

Management is the ability to plan, organise and control resources and tasks, which are essential for the efficient daily operations of your team, or department.

Leadership focuses on inspiring and motivating individuals to achieve shared goals. This is achieved by shaping the culture of the organisation, building close-knit teams and guiding members to business goals and success.

A professional management qualification can increase your earnings potential by making you a more competitive candidate for job promotions, as well as showcasing your commitment and skills within your organisation, or on your CV. Research, according to CMI, shows that those who pursued a CMI Chartered Manager status qualification, can earn around £13,000 more than those without.

Attended the APM PFQ 2 day face to face course with Oxford College of Management in London in May 2026. Very positive experience from start to finish: They organised a Teams call to help me understand more about the different types of project management courses, and responded very quickly to all follow up emails. The location was very central - right next to a London Bridge underground exit. The course was great - the trainer Terry balanced explanation and discussion really well, shared examples to help information stick, and made everyone feel comfortable to ask questions and add comments. We all went away feeling confident about the exam. The online material is also excellent - written presentations, verbal recordings, podcasts and several test questions - enabling participants to deepen their understanding following the 2 day course using their preferred methods. The exam itself is conducted at home under strict exam conditions which concerned me at first, but the APM information and instructions were brilliant - if you follow them you will be fine, just read them as soon as possible and allow plenty of time to get set-up.

I recently attended the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) course over three days. The course was well-structured, covering a lot of valuable content while remaining engaging throughout. Our tutor was excellent—knowledgeable, approachable, and interactive. They kept the sessions engaging by encouraging discussions, answering questions, and making sure everyone understood the key concepts. Three days felt like the right length—intensive but manageable. There was a lot to learn, but the pacing was effective. The interactive teaching approach and well-structured content made it a valuable and enjoyable learning experience! I would definitely recommend this course.

The course I found clear and concise with effective learning methods. The pace of the course was ideal for enabling ongoing priority work at the same time as conducting the course. David the instructor, has a wealth of knowledge and experience and adapted real life scenarios in the the course curriculum.

I had a fantastic experience with the APM (PFQ) course at Oxford College of Management. The trainer (Derek) was exceptional, blending deep expertise with an engaging and adaptable teaching style that made complex concepts easy to grasp and apply. The virtual classes were well-organized and interactive, with a seamless delivery that ensured a productive and engaging learning environment. Overall, I feel much more confident in my skills and ready to apply what I've learned in real-world scenarios. Highly recommended!

Did a face-to-face course in March of 2024 for my APM PMQ and passed first time! The course was very detailed and helped me understand areas of the APM which I had never dealt with before, and my tutor, Andy, was incredibly helpful and explained thoroughly, despite having to fit so much content into 5 days. Couldn't recommend the oxford college of management more!
Mario I.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff, well organised and provided relevant information as and when required. I completed both APM in Project Fundamentals and the AgilePM Foundations. Teaching staff were knowledgeable on the subjects and also provided advice on revision techniques and sample questions. I would consider completing courses via Oxford again.
