1) Institutional Scope and Educational Boundaries
APMIC is a professional training program designed to develop applied project management competence. It does not confer academic degrees, professional licensure, or legal authorization to practice regulated activities.
Training is role aligned, standards grounded, and outcome-drive through training for advanced in-depth skills rather than career and interviewing alone. Learners are trained continuously in ethical decision making, governance discipline, documentation integrity, and responsible stakeholder communication.
By enrolling, learners acknowledge:
The program is vocational and professional in nature
Completion is based on participation and meeting academic requirements
Outcomes depend on individual engagement and external variables beyond institutional control
Learners must represent training and credentials accurately and conservatively
2) Enrollment Policy
Enrollment is completed online and provides immediate access to course materials after payment is confirmed or an approved payment plan is active.
To enroll, learners must:
Be at least 18 years of age
Have sufficient English proficiency to engage with professional level instruction and assessment
Have reliable internet access and a compatible device
Be capable of independent online learning in a self paced environment
Admission is not selective or competitive. Enrollment does not guarantee program completion, certification issuance, employment, or professional outcomes.
3) Program Access and Delivery
APMIC is delivered fully online through a secure learning platform accessible via desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Instructional materials may include:
Written lessons and reference materials
Video instruction and applied demonstrations
Audio resources for reinforcement
Interactive exercises and simulations
Scenario based evaluations
Reflective assignments and applied case analysis
Lifetime Access Clarification
Lifetime access refers to continued availability of enrolled content for the life of the program offering. It does not guarantee perpetual platform operation, indefinite instructor availability, or an obligation to maintain identical course features forever. APMIC’s intent is long term access with ongoing curriculum improvements, while maintaining realistic institutional boundaries.
4) Academic Integrity and Learner Conduct
APMIC maintains strict academic integrity standards to protect the credibility of its credentials and the professional safety of stakeholders who may later rely on graduate work.
Learners are expected to:
Complete assessments independently
Submit original work where required
Engage respectfully in learning spaces and community environments
Follow ethical standards taught throughout the program
Represent credentials accurately and conservatively
Content Use and Sharing Rules
Sharing login access, copying protected content, or distributing assessment materials is not allowed
Republishing lessons, quizzes, or answer keys is not allowed
Using APMIC checklists and templates inside your workplace or consulting practice is allowed, provided you do not copy and repost the course itself
Disrespectful communication toward staff or peers may trigger advisory committee review and can result in suspension or disqualification.
Plagiarism, credential misuse, or misrepresentation may result in certification revocation without refund.
5) Assessment and Certification Requirements
Certification is awarded only after completion of required coursework, assessments, and any capstone level components.
Completion criteria may include:
Required module and lesson completion
Assessment performance thresholds
Capstone evaluation submission if applicable
Policy acknowledgments where required
APMIC reserves the right to withhold certification if academic standards are not met. External bodies retain independent authority over any third party credential recognition.

FAQ: Policies, Refunds, and Standards (APMIC)
1) If I enroll and immediately start the course, do I lose my refund eligibility?
Not automatically. You remain eligible during the 14 day window as long as your total completion stays at or below 20 percent and no certificate has been issued. The refund policy exists so you can evaluate platform fit and curriculum structure without being trapped. If you complete more than 20 percent, the program is considered substantially accessed and refund eligibility ends.
2) What does 20 percent completion mean in practice?
It refers to your progress through the program content as tracked inside the learning platform. This protects fairness because the program includes substantial materials and long term access. If you are unsure how progress is calculated, contact support@apmic.org before completing additional sections so you can make an informed decision within the refund window.
3) Are payment plan enrollments eligible for the same refund policy?
Yes. The same 14 day and 20 percent thresholds apply. Refund processing and timing may vary depending on the payment method and third party provider terms. If a third party charges non refundable fees, those fees may not be recoverable through APMIC.
4) What happens if I miss a payment on an installment plan?
If a payment is missed, access may be suspended until the account is brought current. This protects fairness across learners and ensures APMIC can continue delivering platform access and support. If you anticipate a problem, contact advising@apmic.org early so you understand available options before access is interrupted.
5) Can I share course materials with my team or reuse content at work?
Sharing protected course content, quizzes, answer keys, or login access is not allowed. However, using APMIC provided templates and checklists inside your workplace or consulting practice is allowed, as long as you are not republishing the course content itself. The rule is simple: operational tools are fine, redistribution of the education product is not.
6) What behavior could result in removal from the program?
Academic integrity violations, credential misuse, harassment, abusive communication, repeated misconduct, or sharing restricted materials can result in advisory review and potential removal. This policy exists to protect learner safety, preserve credential credibility, and maintain a professional learning environment.
7) If I complete the program, does APMIC guarantee I can get a PM job?
No. Outcomes vary based on experience, role fit, market conditions, interview skill, and execution. APMIC provides structured education and professional documentation signals. It does not sell job guarantees.
8) What does accreditation or standards alignment mean and what does it not mean?
Standards alignment confirms the program is structured around defined learning outcomes, instructional design, assessment methodology, and documented training hours where applicable. It does not confer licensure, legal authority, or guarantee employment. It is a quality and structure signal, not a legal authorization.
