This course is based on the APMG Guide “Managing Benefits™” and includes the Foundation Certificate examination.

“Managing Benefits” is a guidance developed by APMG as a component of a comprehensive Best Practice Framework set which includes PRINCE2®, MSP®, P3O® & MoP®.

The purpose of the Managing Benefits™ guidance and certification scheme is to provide managers and practitioners from multiple disciplines, working in a variety of organisations, with generally applicable guidance encompassing benefits management principles, practices and techniques.

Benefits are not simply just one aspect of project and programme management (PPM) – rather, they are the rationale for the investment of taxpayers’ and shareholders’ funds in change initiatives.

Managing Benefits has been carefully designed to complement existing Best Practice in portfolio, programme and project management such as PRINCE2®, MSP®, P3O® & MoP®.

It consolidates existing guidance on benefits management into one place, while expanding on the specific practices and techniques aimed at optimising benefits realisation.

Learning outcomes

Foundation level aims to measure whether a candidate understands the benefits management principles, practices, techniques, roles, responsibilities and documents, specifically to know and understand the:

  • Definitions, scope and objectives of benefits management, barriers to its effective practice, and the key success characteristics
  • Principles upon which successful approaches to benefits management are based
  • Five practices contained within the Benefits Management Cycle and relevant techniques applicable to each practice
  • Scope of key roles and responsibilities for benefits management and the typical contents of the main benefits management documentation
  • Approaches to implementation and the factors to consider in sustaining progress.

  • Change appraisers and evaluators (e.g. business case developers and project appraisers)

More testimonials for this course

  • "Kim is a very exceptional teacher. She made what could have been a very dry topic into an engaging and interesting class. I particularly appreciated the presentation, examples and questions and answers which made the material more applicable and easier to digest. Her enthusiasm definitely made the class more engaging despite most people having the cameras off which is not small feat. She clearly knows her stuff and it was blast having her as a teacher! The trainer was extremely experienced"

  • "Kim is a terrific facilitator, very experienced and gave us lots of opportunities to engage with her and the group. I'm looking forward to applying what I have learned in this course in the workplace. Was also nice to have Deb be with us at the start of each day to check in and see if we needed anything from an admin perspective - a really well run course. Very high quality support materials. The postit notes and highlighters were very helpful I used them a lot of the time throughout the training, and the binder with the slides, paper-based sample exam and the manual are all of a very high quality that I will refer to for years to come - helped make the training easier - thank you. Thank you for a really well put together and delivered course."
