APMG Better Business Cases Foundation
Ensuring projects always get the green light
Change initiatives often fail at the first hurdle as the business case fails to convince senior management of the return on investment. Creating effective business cases and spending proposals is therefore critical to securing funding and management buy-in.
Better Business Cases training and certification is based on the ‘Five Case Model’ – the UK government’s best practice approach to developing spending proposals and enabling effective business decisions.

Study time
We recommend that when you have completed at least 10 to 15 hours of distance learning you can consider booking your examination.
However, different people have different learning styles and speeds, so we will not push you to take the examination on any given date – or impose cut-off dates on the distance learning. We have found this to increase delegate stress levels and negatively affect pass rates.
Assessment
The closed book multiple choice examination is 40 minutes in duration, with 50 questions and 25 correct answers or more required to pass (50%).
