Frequently asked questions
My membership has lapsed, how can I re-join?
It is not possible to reinstate a lapsed membership online, so if you wish to re-join, please call the Membership team on 01844 271681 or e-mail us on info@apm.org.uk. Re-joins can either be processed over the phone, or we can send you a re-join form to complete and return.
I’ve just paid, where can I find my receipt?
Following a successful payment, a receipt will be e-mailed to you automatically within an hour of the transaction. If this does not arrive please let us know via e-mail to info@apm.org.uk and we can provide you with a manual copy.
I want to apply for Full Membership (MAPM), which route is best for me?
Application for Full Membership are determined by your project management experience and qualifications. First, check if you hold one of our accepted qualifications for Route One or Route Two – if you do, you’ll only need to evidence 3 years of project management experience to apply. If you don’t have an accepted qualification, you can apply via Route Three, provided you have 5 years of project management experience. The application guidance notes can be downloaded here, and contain further details about the routes and requirements.
What is my membership number?
Your membership number can be found in the ‘MyAPM’ account area. To view this, make sure you are logged in to the site, then click on ‘MyAPM’ in the top right corner.
I am applying for Full Membership, but my APM qualification isn’t appearing on the form. What do I do?
This usually happens when an applicant has taken their qualification under a different e-mail address to the one they are using for their application, but don’t worry, our team can link the accounts together for you on the system. Please provide our Membership team with the details of both of your accounts at info@apm.org.uk and we can assist you further with this.
How can I link my account to my employer, who is a Corporate Partner?
This can be done via the ‘MyAPM’ portal on our website. Ensure you are logged into your account, then navigate to the ‘MyAPM’ portal in the top right corner of the site. From here, go to ‘Personal details’ then ‘Profession’, and your employer can be added under ‘Current Company’. If your employer is one of our Corporate partner organisations, this will automatically link your account to theirs.
Can I pay my membership fee in monthly instalments?
We do not currently accept membership payments in instalments, although you are welcome to set up an annual Direct Debit to cover your subscription. If you are struggling to pay your membership fees, contact our team on info@apm.org.uk and we will be happy to discuss available options.
