| Give your in-house training the recognition it deserves
We validate your internal programmes with an independent quality mark, aligned to the APM Competence Framework - helping you demonstrate excellence, boost employer brand and support talent development.
Why organisations choose APM Endorsed
Corporate organisations invest heavily in developing their people - but internal programmes often lack external recognition. That makes it harder to demonstrate quality to clients, regulators and stakeholders. Employees also want learning that is portable and valued beyond your organisation, supporting career progression and professional credibility.
APM Endorsed solves these challenges
Unlike Corporate Accreditation, which applies to organisations as a whole, APM Endorsed validates individual learning provisions - such as bespoke in-house courses - giving them greater recognition and linking them to APM’s professional framework.
What you gain
✅ Independent mark of quality
We provide external verification of your internal training content.
✅ Alignment to a professional framework
Endorsed programmes map to the APM Competence Framework, ensuring consistency and relevance.
✅ Employer brand value
Recognition of your commitment to staff development boosts attraction, retention and internal mobility.
✅ Flexibility
Endorsement offers a faster, lighter process, with course-by-course validation for scalability.
Show your clients and employees that your training meets the highest professional standards.
