Pre-Course Reading Guide

Our Guide familiarises delegates with course materials and concepts, to give them a flying start

Foundation Course Presentation Pack

Our Presentation Pack is more than just the Manual re-presented.  Each session contains significant value add for delegates, based on our deep knowledge of the subject and our experience in advising clients.  The ratio of graphics to text is around 75:25, so delegates don't experience 'death by PowerPoint'

Foundation Delegate Workbook

The Foundation part of a course is necessarily information heavy, because it must cover the full syllabus that will be tested in the Foundation Exam.  Our Delegate Workbooks provide copies of all presentation slides rather than long-form text that many delegates find hard to manage during a course. We provide scenarios in all courses that are realistic, so delegates get a feel for the material in action.  As well, each session comes with materials designed to allow delegates to practice the retrieval and application of information just acquired, which research shows is the most effective may for delegates to internalise this content.  We provide quizzes, crosswords, mind maps, role plays, discussion materials for all sessions, with answers and guidance as necessary.  We provide worked examples of key artefacts, so delegates can use the Workbooks back in the workplace. 

Foundation Trainer Manual

We provide detailed advice to trainers on each aspect of the course.  We provide visual clues in the slideware that cue the trainer as to the next step without interfering with Delegates' learning experience. We also provide the trainer with value add information not available in Delegate Workbooks.  We provide advice to the trainer on tips and tricks in delivering the course, where to be aware that parts of the course might take longer, where and how to catch up later if necessary.

Desk Reference chart

Our Desk Reference Charts are designed to be aide memoirs for delegate use during and after the course.  They each contain value adding material arising from our experience of using the concepts in the real world.

Practitioner Seminar Presentation Pack

All content required by Delegates was provided to them in the Foundation Delegate Pack.  The Practitioner pack simply provides a framework for the Seminar.  Delegates do not need a copy of this Pack.

Practitioner Delegate Workbook

Our Practitioner Seminar is more than just the trainer supervising delegates as they attempt questions from the sample exams provided by APMG.  In our Practitioner seminar materials, we provide a realistic scenario, then assist delegates as they apply the subject matter acquired during the Foundation course in the context of the scenario in Activities and discussions.  In addition, we provide fully worked objective style questions, in the format of the Practitioner exam, for each session, that are written against the scenario, which together provide more material than APMG provides in one of their sample Exam Papers. We provide fully worked solutions to all activities, and answers to all objective questions.

Advanced Practitioner Delegate Workbook

MSP Only: We believe our Advanced Practitioner Seminar is unique. Other organisations simply supervise delegates as they work through the single APMG sample exam available, which covers only a subset of the syllabus. We cover almost all of the syllabus, and provide worked examples for all activities.

Detailed Print and Assembly Instructions for all materials

We have developed detailed instructions to printers covering the printing and assembly of each element of our course.  The feedback we've received from our printers is that they appreciate the clarity of our instruction. 

Detailed configuration management records covering all courseware elements

We maintain detailed configuration records covering all elements of our courseware, including graphics.  We can guarantee cohesion in our courseware, which means no nasty surprises or omissions. 

Detailed notes for each release of our courseware

The Cabinet Office and APMG periodically require changes to courseware to reflect changes in the underlying product.  We update our materials on a quarterly cycle, and provide our courseware clients with a detailed description of what has changed and why, and how to respond to the changes.   

Pre-course delegate management materials

We provide enrolment and joining instructions showing required Cabinet Office trademark statements

Post-course delegate management materials

We provide attendance certificates and results advice letters showing required Cabinet Office trademark statements

Marketing materials

We provide brochures, web page content and other marketing material showing required Cabinet Office trademark statements

Non-accredited courses

We understand that not all delegates require an accredited course, so we generally develop subsidiary courses and briefings based on the accredited courseware, for example Executive Briefings and short courses focussed on particular roles.

QMS / Operations Manual

We have developed a comprehensive set of procedures that cover all of APMG's requirements, and extend to support effective business management.
