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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, our subscriptions fees are paid annually and currently, we do not facilitate monthly installment payments.

As an employee of a Corporate Partner organisation, you will have access to a limited selection of resources and discounts via the ‘Corporate Hub’ area of your ‘MyAPM’ account. This is not, however, the same as holding your own individual membership of APM, which will give you full access to all membership benefits and resources, details of which can be found here.

Currently APM offer a 50% discount off the selected membership fee for members that are unemployed, retired or on maternity leave. If you meet these criteria's, please contact our membership team at info@apm.org.uk for further information. Alternatively, you can contact the membership team on 01844 271681 and our office is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

If your application does not meet the requirements, due to administrative costs within the Full Membership and Fellow application processes APM is unable to issue a refund of the fees charged.

The outcome of unsuccessful applications will be:

• Existing Members: The unsuccessful applicant’s status and associated fees will remain unchanged. 
• New Members: Following review of the submission and consideration as to whether the application meets the requirements of a particular grade, then unsuccessful applicants will receive a grade deemed appropriate by the APM Membership Panel. 
• Incomplete Applications: Where an application is deemed incomplete and, as a result, cannot be assigned to the APM Membership Panel, the applicant will receive the Associate Member grade 

If you are an employee of an APM Corporate Partner or APM Corporate Affiliate you can link your online record to your employer record and this will enable you to access the Corporate Hub via your My APM dashboard. For instruction on how to link your record to your corporate employer, please contact the membership team either by email at info@apm.org.uk or by phone on 01844 271681 and our office is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

I can confirm that it is not currently possible to pay for new memberships via invoice/PO, instead the application process must be completed online through our website. As such, we would encourage individuals to apply online and make payment via credit/debit card. A full VAT receipt would then be e-mailed within 30 minutes of payment, to allow you to claim this back through expenses.

Paying members are issued quarterly the APM Projectjournal. 'Project' is the official journal of the Association for Project management. Further information on the project journal can be found here. The International Journal  of Project Management (IJPM) can be additionally subscribed to when joining as an APM member and the subscription renew's annually. There are eight editions issued each year. The IJPM is published through Science Direct and in collaboration with the Association of Project Management.

You can become a Student member of APM if you are registered full/part time with a further education college or university on an academic course.

Your course must be in progress, and have a duration of at least one year. You must also not be on a Graduate Scheme or studying a professional qualification.

No, your course can be in any subject with a further education college or university.

A professional qualification is one that involves specific training to certify professional competence, and so does not apply to those who are just starting out in PM. Examples include the Prince2 / APM Project Management Qualification / APM Project Fundamentals Qualification.

Students can upgrade their membership by visiting their "my APM" account, clicking "upgrade" next to membership level. Students can upgrade to Associate membership for 50% off. 

Once your course and therefore your Student membership has come to an end, you will be able to upgrade to Associate membership. Full and/or Fellow membership can be applied for if you meet the eligibility criteria.

Post nominals are part of the membership benefits for Full membership or Fellow membership. Unfortunately, the Associate membership level does not come with post nominals.

The APM Project Management Qualification is an accepted qualification for the APM Full Membership application via Route One.

If your APM Full Membership application details more than five years project experience and therefore you are automatically provided with a 2500 word count entitlement. This increase in word count limit is to ensure that an applicant’s additional experience can be covered in detail.

The APM Full Membership application via Route Two is a Direct entry route. For the APM Full Membership application via Route Two (direct entry via a qualification), we would kindly ask you to provide a:

• A completed APM Full Membership application form- this can be completed online via your APM account
• Evidence of your accepted qualification; the list of the APM accepted qualifications for the APM Full Membership application via Route Two can be found here.

The application, will be reviewed by the APM Membership panel prior to being sent to the AM Membership panel and we typically say that you will receive your results within 28 days.

There is a list on the APM website for the accepted qualification for both Route One and Route Two of the APM Full Membership application available here. 

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.

Yes, as long as you have 10 years of project delivery experience this is sufficient to meet the criteria for Fellowship

You do not need to provide evidence on all three criteria. You may choose to select one and evidence to the panel the contribution you have made to the project management profession as a whole. The word count for your personal statement is 1500 words. 

If you have been in an academic role without the demonstration of 10 years project delivery experience, this does not meet the requirements for Fellowship. To achieve Fellowship, you must have a minimum of 10 years project delivery experience. The evidence provided must demonstrate you have been responsible for either projects, programmes, portfolios, or a key control or enabling function. You must state what you were accountable/responsible for within the project(s) over the required duration. As a Project manager we require evidence that you have been responsible for the day-to-day management of the project(s) and competent in managing the six aspects of a project, i.e. scope, schedule, finance, risk, quality and resources providing examples of how you have managed these and what activities were required.
