Dear Jonathan,
This is a good source of information. Thank you for sharing it.
With kind regards,
Samer
Hi Mike
The reason for my post was because I can see lots of individuals chasing the PMP route which is fine in theory but doesnt necessarily create a competent Project controls person. I have also read the desire for planning planet to create its own accreditation/ certification route which is admirable but impractical. The discussion at the time of the development of the NVQs was whether we as an industry (British Chemical Engineering Contractors Association) in conjunction with ECITB should align with the APM (affiliated with PMI) or with the ACostE. It was determined that the APM was too broad in its coverage of project management for a pure project controls qualification.
As I said in my original post, the NVQs have matured and are now a fantastic resource for competence assessment. They operate at three levels - level 2 being entry, level 3 for 5+ years experienced individuals and level 4 for those operating at project control manager level.

Hi Jonathan
Welcome to Planning Planet.
The training and accreditation section needs all the advice it can get.
Best regards
