Project management training, configured to your organisation.

Bespoke programmes that combine APM professional standards with your own project processes — delivered face-to-face, virtually, or via blended learning.

Get in touch

Off-the-shelf training won't get your team where they need to be.

Most providers run the same course for every client. We don't. Our team designs each programme around the outcomes your organisation needs — whether that's a recognised qualification, consistent application of in-house project procedures, or the leadership skills behind successful delivery.

For complex assignments, we often start with a Discovery Phase. A small co-investment up front to define the scope and goals, before formal contracting. It de-risks procurement and produces a stronger solution.

Three programmes for senior project professionals.

Structured learning across leadership, advanced project management, and the sponsor role — with the flexibility to combine elements into a single bespoke pathway.

01
Project & Change Leadership

Make the transition from task-doer to manager to leader. Strategic outlook, stakeholder confidence, resilience under pressure.

02
Advanced Project Management

APM Project Professional Qualification (PPQ) and Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) — with a 90%+ pass rate.

03
eLearning System

Cloud-based and fully managed — our Canvas LMS hosts your blended learning programme end to end.

Project & Change Leadership.

Few project managers make the leap from task-doer to manager to leader. Our leadership programme builds the capability to operate strategically — without losing the project instinct that got you here.

“Project Academy continues to provide an excellent service, and their staff bring a wealth of PM experience to bear.”
“An amazing inspirational experience, that I wished I'd conducted much earlier in my career.”
“Fantastic coaching, it has really been powerful, it has helped identify some key things that were holding me back (without even realising it), it has given me tools and approaches that I will continue to use.  I have gained so much from this experience, thank you!”
“Genuinely transformational. I may have walked away from the opportunity of a senior role thinking I was not capable. I may also have seen myself signed off with stress again in a matter of months without the coaching tools and techniques I have gained.”
“I have found the leadership coaching to be extremely valuable. Through awareness, reflection and constructive challenge, I have increased resilience and confidence, which I have used in my career.”
“I have the cycle of imposter syndrome, which hindered me from achieving my true potential. Only to say a huge thank you to my coach - a truly life changing experience.”
“Outstanding and more valuable than the technical course - the coaching has changed me as a person and impacted on interactions professionally and personally.”
“Improved the culture of my team and relationships with stakeholders.”
