Eligibility and Prerequisites
Participants who wish to enroll in the APMC program need to have at least three years of project management practical experience. They must also have taken IIL’s Project Management Certificate Program: The Kerzner Approach to Project Management Excellence or equivalent.

Participants can waive up to TWO courses (required or elective) if they have taken them within the last one-year period from IIL. Please note participants must first take and pass the post-test to have the course waived. There will be a fee of USD 150 per course for this activity.

Who Should Attend
You should enroll in this program if you want to expand your knowledge by focusing on today’s higher-level strategic project management issues or dive deeper into more complex tactical challenges. This program is ideal if you are a PMP, since all courses in this program earn you PDUs necessary to maintain your certification.

Criteria for Achieving APMC Certification
The Advanced Project Management Certification is a live, online program where you have the power to choose the project management courses that fit your needs, interest and time. This 66-hour certification program earns you up to 66 PDUs and can be completed between 3 and 12 months. With the IIL Virtual Classroom environment not only can you learn at your own pace, you can do so without leaving your office.

In order to be awarded APMC certification, participants must:

  • Complete three required courses and three of the elective courses (see below)
  • Achieve a passing score of at least 70% on a 30-question online exam for each course (questions are in a multiple-choice format)
Performance Focus
With IIL, you learn from experts who are also practitioners. The APMC program focuses on analyzing current best practices from some of the most successful companies so you learn how they manage projects. You will also learn how to prepare your teams for the next frontier in project management; the secrets of balancing project/program objectives against organizational politics; and the ins and outs of supporting global projects/programs, both from a pragmatic and an interpersonal perspective.

IIL Virtual Classroom Environment
Thousands of companies have chosen IIL’s Virtual Classroom as a preferred learning method to meet the increased global training needs of their organizations. Benefit from our experience in the Virtual Classroom space, where we have been active for the past ten years. Our Virtual Classroom provides companies and individuals with interactive, efficient, quality training that is also cost-effective.

The online classes are led by our trainers in realtime, so you get the benefits of a live classroom situation in your office. The classes have a good balance of instructor-led learning, multimedia events, discussion, and a wide range of interactive exercises from self-reflection to team-based activities.

Worried about schedule conflicts?
Don’t be. APMC courses are offered to you real-time or recorded. If you cannot attend a live class, simply go to the archived class any time and you are all caught up.

Bring APMC to Your Company
If your company has a group of 12 or more employees to train, we can deliver the APMC curriculum to you in a private IIL Virtual Classroom or in a traditional classroom setting at the location of your choice.

IIL has collaborated with top global organizations to build unique and specialized APMC programs for their project professionals.

APMC Testimonials

“The classes were exceptional… if anyone is concerned because this is an online class and that there will not be any interaction they will be very surprised. The instructors were very knowledgeable and not only taught what was in the book but also added relevant knowledge that helped in understanding the material."
Robert Haluska
Manager
Choiceparts, LLC


“I was ready to take my project management skills to the next level. IIL's Advanced Project Management Certification was just what I was looking for. Dr. Kerzner's Best Practices in Project Management class was a treasure trove of “Solutions” to problems we've all encountered. I look forward to testing some of these solutions on my next project."
Ed Tischofer, PMP, APMC
Vice President, IT
Emergency Debt Relief, Inc


“I would like to recommend the APMC certification to all PMPs. As a PMP, I wanted a training program and a certification that would build on PMP and go beyond. The APMC not only covers Project Management but it also teaches Program Management and Portfolio Management. The program is very well designed, includes amazing content and allows self paced training which allowed me to become the first APMC outside of the US. IIL and Dr. Kerzner have outdone themselves with the APMC.”
