About the PAAPM Program
Before a project is approved someone has to show that it is worth doing, affordable and better than the alternatives. The program covers project appraisal end to end, from defining options and estimating costs and benefits to discounted cash flow, risk analysis and a business case that survives scrutiny. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, it leaves project, finance and technical staff able to appraise proposals consistently and advise decision makers with evidence.
