APMP Accreditation Program

APMP offers the world’s first Professional Accreditation 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 world best practice standards.

Accreditation delivers many benefits both for individuals and for the organisations in which they work

The qualification is internationally recognised and is the ONLY professional accreditation scheme specifically for proposal management and business development professionals.

Approved Training Organizations

To assist candidates to prepare and progress through the accreditation process, APMP has created the Approved Training Organistion (ATO) scheme.

How it works

There are three levels of accreditation. Each is tested in a different way and each requires a minimum level of experience. To maintain accreditation individuals are required to participate in a Continuing Professional Development programme, earning CEU (Continuing Education Unit) credits in accordance with defined standards.

How to get started

Everyone, regardless of experience or knowledge, has to start with the Foundation Examination. This is open to members and non-members (though the examination fee is discounted for members).

Candidates can prepare for the examination either through self study or through Approved Training. The examination can be taken on-line or as a paper examination as part of an Approved Training course.
