ABOUT
The APMSA is the only member association in South-Africa affiliated to the International Project Management Association (IPMA), which has 70 (seventy) member countries world-wide, making our candidates internationally certified.
The APMSA is the only project organization in South-Africa which focuses beyond the knowledge of candidates, by considering knowledge as well as experience and behavior in a project context as equally important components of successful project management. Hence, the offering of the APMSA is unique and the contribution towards training and/or certification is based on establishing a competent basis for project managers on all levels of project management, i.e. from team member to portfolio manager.
The APMSA is a not-for-profit company with the purpose to enhance project management capabilities in South-Africa and on the African Continent.
The Mission of APMSA is to promote professional project management and move people forward. Professional project management means a deep understanding of project and general management tools, techniques and what is considered as “best practices”. It requires a fundamental understanding of business and wealth creation processes. It requires a suite of Values and Guiding principles that will permit the project manager to do what is right rather than just expedient decision-making. Respect for the values and cultures, health and safety, and the environment of the interested parties is paramount.
