A minimum of one year of bidding/proposal experience is a requirement for sitting the Foundation exam.
A current APMP membership is required to enrol in our workshop + exam, as our price includes the examination fee at the member rate.
The APMP Foundation-level Certification Study Guide (v4) can also be purchased from apmp.org, and is recommended (but not compulsory).
Our APMP Foundation workshop is delivered online over two consecutive half-days and requires a commitment of 3.5 hours for a live Zoom session each day. At the end of day two you’ll be given the option to sit the online Foundation exam, which takes a further 65 minutes. Alternatively, you can choose to complete the exam later at a time more suitable for you.
The Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) is the global industry body for professionals dedicated to the process of winning business through proposals, tenders, bids and presentations. Designed specifically for proposal professionals, APMP’s certification program is the only internationally recognised professional qualification pathway.
BidWrite (and its training division Bid Academy) is Australasia’s only APMP Accredited Training Organisation (ATO) and is approved to provide APMP certification training. Our trainers hold the highest level of APMP certification and can confidently guide participants through the training content and exam processes.
For APMP Foundation and Practitioner training workshops, certification badges are issued by APMP’s certification partner APMG International (apmg-international.com) after completion of your exam. This happens independently of BidWrite and Bid Academy so if you encounter any issues with receiving your certification badge, you’ll need to contact APMG directly.
Bid Academy uses Zoom Meetings to deliver our online workshops. This enables us to utilise functionality such as screensharing, breakout rooms, reactions and polls.
