Knowledge Train Launches APM Project Risk Level 1 Qualification in London to Enhance Organisational Project Delivery

City of London, England - September 15, 2025 - (PRESS ADVANTAGE) -

Knowledge Train, a leading project management training provider, has announced the launch of its APM Project Risk Level 1 qualification and course in London, England. The new offering aims to address the growing demand for standardised risk management skills across various industries. Organisations seeking to enhance their project delivery capabilities through systematic risk identification and mitigation will benefit significantly from this qualification. The APM Project Risk Level 1 course provides participants with essential risk management processes, practical techniques, and understanding of people dynamics involved in effective risk management. Based in London, Knowledge Train has developed this course specifically for project teams looking to establish a common risk language and methodology, enabling companies to better anticipate challenges and make data-driven decisions in their project execution.

"Our new APM Project Risk Level 1 qualification addresses a critical gap in the project management landscape," said Jay Gao, Operations Manager at Knowledge Train. "We've observed that organisations struggle not because they lack talented project managers, but because they lack standardised approaches to identifying and mitigating risks across teams. This qualification equips participants with practical risk management techniques that can be immediately applied in real-world scenarios. The course is designed to be accessible to anyone with at least six months of project experience, making it ideal for project managers, work package leads, and programme managers who need to strengthen their risk management expertise. By establishing a common risk language across project teams, organisations can significantly improve their project outcomes and delivery performance."

The APM Project Risk Level 1 course covers essential components including risk definition, project risk identification, qualitative and quantitative risk analysis, and effective response strategies. Interested professionals can find detailed information about the qualification and register for upcoming courses at APM Project Risk Management Level 1. The classroom-based course includes pre-course study materials, the official APM Risk Management Study Guide, sample exams, and the APM Risk Management Level 1 certification exam. Knowledge Train has structured the course to provide participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical applications, ensuring they can contribute effectively to formal risk management processes within their organisations. The qualification is particularly valuable for consulting firms, construction companies, IT organisations, and businesses regularly executing projects where systematic risk management is critical to success.

"What sets our APM Project Risk Level 1 course apart is the comprehensive support we provide to participants," explained Jay Gao. "Beyond just preparing them for the certification exam, we offer three months of post-training support, professional CV writing services with a one-year free update, and a one-month free subscription to our Business Learning Library. These additional benefits ensure that participants can continue developing their risk management skills long after completing the course. The multiple-choice exam consists of 60 questions with a pass mark of 60%, and results are provided within five business days. We've designed the course to be accessible while maintaining the rigorous standards expected of an APM qualification, ensuring that certified professionals truly understand how to apply risk management principles in their daily work."

The introduction of the APM Project Risk Level 1 qualification comes at a time when organisations are increasingly recognising the competitive advantage gained through structured risk management training. Industry research indicates that projects with formal risk management protocols are 70% more likely to achieve their objectives compared to those without such frameworks. The qualification addresses key behavioural aspects of risk management, acknowledging that successful implementation depends not just on processes but on people's attitudes and approaches to risk. As project environments become increasingly complex and uncertain, particularly in sectors like technology, construction, and consulting, the ability to systematically identify, analyse, and respond to risks becomes a critical differentiator. Knowledge Train's course prepares professionals to navigate these challenges with confidence and expertise, potentially saving organisations significant resources by preventing costly surprises during project execution.
