Institute news

ILX has moved its workshops to virtual courses, scheduled until March 2021.

Our Project Management Apprentices should take one of these workshops and then sit the exam with APM as soon as possible after the course. Exam results can take up to 10 weeks to be released.

The APM have announced that the PMQ exam will be available via remote online proctor, using the Surpass assessment platform. This videolaunch explains more about the set-up and exam scenario.

End Point Assessments

I was due to sit my End Point Assessment (EPA) in the next few months. What do the exam cancellations mean for my Apprenticeship?

The exam is a requirement of Gateway. End Point Assessment is provided on-line, and the EPAO (A4PM) is not currently anticipating problems with continuing to deliver End Point Assessment via video conferencing.
