To meet the growing global demand for project management qualifications, Association for Project Management (APM) is recruiting candidates to trial its Project Fundamentals exam in Arabic [modern] and Chinese [simplified]. 

Find out more about the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification.  

Project professionals who use Arabic [modern] or Chinese [simplified], who are available on 9 and 10 September 2025 and would like to gain the APM Fundamentals Qualification can apply using this form. In return for feedback, this will be provided free of charge.  

Commenting on the driver behind the pilot APM’s Director of Education and Lifelong Learning, Jackie Martin, said: “The project profession operates across the globe, so it’s important we continue to build new, more accessible development opportunities. 

“This will be one of the largest pilots we’ve undertaken. It will be pivotal in developing the non-English language offering of our qualifications. The profession’s support will be invaluable. If you feel you or your colleagues can help us, I urge you to get involved.” 

Studying for the exam  

The APM Project Fundamentals Qualification involves a multiple-choice examination and requires candidates to demonstrate a fundamental awareness of project management terminology and knowledge.  

Candidates can choose to study for the exam through a training course.  This will need to be self-funded and arranged by the candidate.  Alternatively, candidates can access APM study materials that are available here [English only].
