Guidance on Accreditation
20|20 are an Accredited Training Organisation of the APM (Association for Project Management), and Global Registered Education Provider of the PMI (Project Management Institute). Our Project Management courses and core course materials are accredited as meeting the standards of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) recognised in 45 countries. PMI or APM / IPMA? Which Standard is best for you and your organisation? Although both standards are similar, if you wish to pursue personal accreditation you will need to decide which industry body is the right one for you. Generally the IPMA (through the APM in the UK) provide the more popular standard in Europe, and the PMI elsewhere. However, a key factor is whether your own organisation is already aligned to one of the standards - this may depend on where your organisation is Headquartered or on its own preference. Although both standards are perceived as being similar and broadly equivalent you may need advice on which standard to use, or on specific accreditation levels offered by the different bodies.  The 20|20 Business Support Team is here to help with information and guidance so please call us on +44 (0) 1382 730880. Alternatively, you can find additional information by visiting the web site of any of the accrediting bodies at www.pmi.orgwww.apm.org.uk or www.ipma.ch
Not everyone wants to undertake a formal qualification as many of our programmes are tailored to suit specific client needs, but the option to seek individual accreditation is made available to those who wish to underpin their training achievements with a globally-recognised qualification.
