Quality, credentialed qualifications. APM’s learning approach is built on several tenets – strong beliefs that help students learn and gain the most from their investment of time and energy.

Education Redefined
The cornerstone of APM’s education mission is providing academic rigour that is practical and useable. APM’s curriculum is designed around nationally endorsed standards that have been developed through comprehensive industry consultation. Students are provided with an intimate, interactive and supportive learning environment where they are encouraged to question and analyse. APM lecturers are industry practitioners who are skilled facilitators. Students experience a true learning environment that shows how theory is applied. An environment that prepares them to the make the most of the opportunities.

Integration of Theory and Practice
For true learning to occur, integrating theory and practice is critical. To achieve this blend, the curriculum for each APM subject is developed by learning experts in collaboration with industry and professional bodies. APM lecturers are actively encouraged to maintain their professional relevance through continued work in their specific field, so students can be assured that they are taught by working professionals who understand the needs of today’s workplace.

Learning with Peers
APM encourages students to think of lecturers as peers and mentors. The interaction with, and access to lecturers is a critical part of the learning process. Likewise, the class interaction and discussions with fellow students is a powerful and compelling learning experience. Students are encouraged to build support networks and leverage the insights that the lecturers can provide.

Education for Adults
APM starts with the base assumption that students will take responsibility for making the most of the learning opportunity that is provided. Students are selected because they are motivated enough to see through the commitment that they have made to themselves in learning new skills to achieve a better work outcome. Students are encouraged to gain maximum value out of their education experience by attending formal lectures and fully participating in class activities and networking opportunities.

Education with Purpose
APM believes in providing students with practical knowledge that matches the needs of the current employment market. That is why APM always puts the emphasis on the skills that are gained along the way and not just the end qualification itself. Qualifications themselves do not guarantee a job. It is the candidate’s ability to demonstrate relevant skills, commitment and drive that makes the difference. APM provides the perfect opportunity for students to prove themselves capable of gaining new skills, learning in an intensive manner and succeeding.
