What does APM use to control power management?

From the Battery-Powered-mini-HOWTO " .. for APM to work on any notebook or energy-conscious desktop, the system BIOS ROM in the machine must support the APM standard. Furthermore, for APM to work with the Linux operating system, the system BIOS ROM must support either the 1.0 or 1.1 version of the APM standard, and it must also support 32-bit protected mode connections. A system that supports APM 1.1 is preferred, as it provides more features that the device driver and supporting utilities can take advantage of." You may get information about the APM version with the dmesg command and in the /proc/apm file.A more simple answer tho is; APM is an earlier version of power management. With APM, the BIOS was used to control the settings for power management. source http://www.cisco.netacad.net/

What are the professional examination types for project managers?

There are a few bodies providing project management examinations. The most recognised providers are: PMI (Project Management Institute) APM (Association of Project Management, UK based body) OGC (Office of Government Commerce) Qualifications from PMI and APM include general practitioner certifications covering a broad range of Project Management skills. The OGC commissioned PRINCE2 is a certification in a project management methodology and I would argue less useful than PMI and APM qualifications.
