APM Project Risk Management Level 2 is designed to determine an individual’s knowledge, understanding and capability in project risk management sufficient to allow them to confidently undertake formal project risk management. ⭐️It’s therefore a testament to our new cohort’s dedication to their learning during their time in the optimise Academy and moreso their new found ability to apply that learning to APM L2 standards in less than 3 months into their Risk Management careers. 🎉A truly outstanding achievement that we simply can’t under-value. So, huge congratulations go to Charlotte Davies Ben Halewood and Oscar Hartley for this amazing achievement. We have truly been blown away by your work ethic. We are also proud of optimise Academy for maintaining a 100% pass rate for a third cohort. 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊 #RiskManagement #ProjectRiskManagement #APMQualifications #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #LearningJourney #optimiseAcademy #SuccessStory #Congratulations #Achievement

Last week, we were counting down the days to our team's annual summer BBQ, and it didn’t disappoint! The event was full of delicious food, laughter, and fantastic company. At optimise it’s tradition for the “bosses” to take turns hosting this BBQ for our colleagues and their families/partners – a gesture we always look forward to. There may have been a last-minute BBQ crisis just hours before, but everything came together perfectly in the end. Another great day in the books! We are just hoping the socks and green sandles don’t become office attire as modelled by one of the bosses!! 😅 #TeamCulture #CompanyTraditions #SummerBBQ #EmployeeAppreciation #CompanyCulture #TeamEvent
