Good Afternoon All,
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
I just wanted to introduce myself and try gain some knowledge from everybody.
I currently live in the North West of England and have started studying for my Project Management Qualifications in CAPM, Agile, Prince2 & MS Project.
In my previous role, I shortly on boarded two clients and managed them. This is what has given me the push to want to do Project Management.
I am currently looking for my first step into Project Management, but not sure what to look for really.
I am also wondering if anybody knows of any networking opportunities in the North West where I can have the opportunity to speak to other Project Managers.
I look forward to speaking to you all and gaining invaluable knowledge from you.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Both,
Thank you for your replies. I am a member of PMI but waiting to be added to the UK chapter in order to attend events.
Oncer verified I will definitely be attending.

Hi Ryan,
It would be interesting to get some feedback on the events.
I know the APM events have good quality key speakers, for instance Susanne Masden. Here is a link to a recent APM event below where she spoke. She is a well known author and project leadership coach/speaker:

Thanks,

For your project management career, I think you are already on the right track. You are combining education with experience, which is the best combination. I suggest to continue applying project management principles in your everyday job, even if you don't have that title. This will help you apply your knowledge, give you confidence, and also reveal what you need to improve on.
I had a similar experience before I landed my first PM job. These posts could help you further, and add more details for you:
