What our customers say
Testimonial
A consistent framework

“We have a lot of people outside our designated PMO who need to run projects. These individuals don’t need all the details, but developing the fundamental understanding taught by the APM PFQ certification and the training delivered by ILX is ideal. It’s allowed us to implement a consistent framework across the organisation, so all our employees are speaking the same language.”
