APMP Micro-Certifications
Advance your proposal expertise with our immersive two-day APMP Practitioner course.
This course is designed for bid and proposal professionals who want to deepen their strategic thinking and apply best practice techniques in real-world scenarios. Unlike our half-day introductory workshop, this extended format allows for richer discussion, collaborative exercises, and practical application of the APMP Body of Knowledge.
What to expect
Over two days, you’ll work through scenario-based challenges that mirror the Practitioner-level Online Test Examination (OTE).
The course is highly interactive, with group exercises, peer review, and facilitator-led walkthroughs of sample OTE questions. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to approach the exam and how to apply the learning in your day-to-day role.
Who should attend?
This course is ideal for professionals who have already achieved APMP Foundation certification and are ready to take the next step. Whether you’re a proposal manager, capture lead, or part of a bid team, the Practitioner level will help you sharpen your skills and boost your confidence.
