Assessment Process
The typical assessment process (varies to suit Qualification) is summarised as follows:
- Undertaking workshop activities which include filling out templates (eg for a project or program from start to finish) - AGS provides templates, examples, checklists. Templates are filled-in during workshop activities and completed post-workshop. Delegates may work on case studies or real workplace projects, in teams or on their own. Workplace templates/ deliverables may also be used for evidence
- Completion of an Assessment Record Book (ARB), primarily answering knowledge and understanding questions (no exam!). This is typically completed post workshop.
It takes anything from ten to 500 hours to complete post-workshop activities (ie templates and ARB as outlined above) depending upon several factors including experience, work pace, tasks completed in the workshop, use of workplace evidence etc. 'Typical' timeframes range from 50 - 250 hours.
AGS Consulting & Training assessment (of evidence) times are typically 1 - 5 business days. Industry averages are within a 2-4 week range.
RegPM – AIPM Certification
AGS also offer RegPM assessments (Australian Institute of Project Management’s
Certification Program) undertaken either in conjunction with a course/qualification or without (see Booking Forms for more information).
As recognition of the rigorous process of course endorsement under AIPM’s Endorsed Course Provider Program, a delegate who has completed a qualification course is eligible for Automatic Recognition for certification at Certified Practising Project Practitioner (CPPP) level.
