Yorkshire Water – Focused Workshops and Targeted APM Qualifications Training

Provek developed a bespoke online learning package, comprising ten SCORM-compliant training modules covering a range of best practice project management topics. Each module included bespoke videos, slide decks and online quizzes, each using terminology, roles and accountabilities, graphics and structure aligned to the new Capital Delivery Model. This e-learning course has been rolled-out on Yorkshire Water’s own on-line learning platform and is a pre-requisite for participants intending to attend APM qualifications training courses. Yorkshire Water’s delivery partners have also been given access, to promote increased collaboration and awareness in delivering the current capital programme.

Key to the success of the training was delivering the APM course syllabi aligned to Yorkshire Water’s Capital Delivery Model, with our expert trainers mapping the APM principles to the Capital Delivery Model life cycle, roles and processes throughout the training. This was very important in understanding the courses’ content and embedding the understanding for application in the work place thereafter.

The benefits

To date we have trained three cohorts of Yorkshire Water staff with 100% exam pass rates, in APM core qualifications including Project Fundamentals (PFQ), Project Management (PMQ) and Risk Management Level 1, with high levels of participant satisfaction, as assessed post-training. Improved knowledge, understanding and application of best practice project management principles and techniques are becoming increasingly consistent within the organisation. Provek continues to work closely with Yorkshire Water in meeting their ongoing project management training and development needs.
