Testimonials
Praxis Framework Foundation was my first international certification and, honestly, having APMG as the examination institute clearly improved my experience. When I checked online about APMG I just found positive reviews, which helped me to build more confidence to continue. APMG is serious business, I was delighted to see how serious the proctored examination was taken. Everyone would benefit from APMG exams.
In Australia, the Queensland Government has endorsed Praxis Framework alongside PRINCE2 for public sector projects.

If you wish to sit your exam via ProctorU again, you will need to pay a reschedule fee of £32 (which you can do in the Candidate Portal) before you can select a new date and time.
