You will study to obtain the Project Management Qualification (PMQ) from the Association for Project Management (APM) and a BSc in Project Management from the University of the West of England.

  • To complement your studies, you will also participate in various in-house training courses. These courses will not only enhance your technical skills but also focus on developing essential soft skills, helping you to develop personal and teamwork capabilities that are vital for your career in project management.

  • You will be provided with a mentor, for day one of your apprenticeship, who alongside your line manager and project managers, will support you with your long-term development and offer guidance in your education and training.

Opportunities available to you may include positions such as Assistant Project Manager, Project Controller, Project Planner, Risk Specialist, Change Control Specialist, Cost Specialist, and Estimator.

  • Project Management can open the door to a wide variety of career paths. You might progress into more senior roles in project or project controls management, specialise in a particular area of project delivery, or move into programme or portfolio management. It can also lead to broader opportunities in related fields—such as becoming a Business Analyst, Operations Manager, or exploring other roles where project skills are highly valued.
