Get APMP certified!
APMP offers the world’s first Professional Certification Program for those working in a bid and proposal environment. The Program uses a process of examination and competency-based assessment, which is consistent and measured against worldwide best practice standards. With the Certification Program, employers provide their employees world-class bid and proposal management know-how, and they improve process quality.
Signature Certification
There are three levels. Participants start at Foundation and advance to Practitioner, and then to Professional. Each level is tested in a different way, requires a minimum level of experience, and verification with a self-selected reference.
The Capture Practitioner (CAP APMP) is dedicated for opportunity/capture professionals.
Micro-Certification
As opposed to the Signature Certification Scheme (Foundation, Practitioner, Professional, and Capture Practitioner) that is designed to cover the entire spectrum of Bid and Proposal Managers’ tasks, each Micro-Certification is focused on a single topic.
So, APMP’s Micro-Certifications are targeted at all those who deal with this topic, whether or not they are Bid or Proposal Managers.
The APMP Foundation™-Level
The APMP Foundation-Level Certification is the entry level for the program. Candidates should have one to three years of experience. With the Foundation-Level, candidates demonstrate their knowledge of Best Practices
The APMP Foundation-Level is open to non-APMP members, too.
The APMP Practitioner™-Level
At APMP Practitioner level, participants must go beyond a basic understanding of concepts and terms and prove that they can also put these into practice comprehensively.
The APMP Practitioner-Level is for those with three to seven years experience. It is open to all APMP members who have achieved Foundation-Level.
The APMP Professional™-Level
This is the highest level. Professionals have made a significant impact on their own organisations or a significant contribution to the business development community.
The APMP Professional-Level is open to all APMP members who have achieved Practitioner-Level.
The APMP Micro-Certification
The purpose of an APMP Micro-Certification is to measure whether a candidate has sufficient knowledge and understanding of the APMP Body of Knowledge (BoK) to act as an informed member of a bid and proposal team with regards to the topic.
