Apprenticeships at ILX
ILX, in partnership with Woodspeen Training, offers the Project Management Associate Level 4 Apprenticeship, a 15 - 18 month programme that helps learners gain the APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ).
Apprenticeships are available to people of any age and experience looking to enhance their effectiveness.
This apprenticeship is based on the 70:20:10 learning model and equips future project managers with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, delivered through diverse learning methods for comprehensive development.
The importance of Project Managers
Effective project management helps organisations deliver on their strategic goals across diverse initiatives, from business process improvement, digital transformation, service delivery optimisation and change management to product development, and research and development. Strong project management provides clear direction through a structured, Agile, or hybrid approach within defined timelines and budgets, using risk management protocols, transparent communication, and accountability parameters. A professional approach helps organisations drive project effectiveness, outcomes and efficiencies that make a positive wider organisational impact.

Raising standards
The training from ILX Group has helped us to forge a culture of learning and collaboration at South Staffs Water. Previously, we’d experienced a bit of a divide between the younger and older generations of project managers within the business. But by encouraging them all to embark on this training, they are now speaking the same language and pushing each other to develop.
