APMP Foundation Level:

Entry-level certification for proposal professionals with 1-3 years of experience.

Individuals and teams take part in a one-day training course which includes the Foundation level examination at the end of the day.

APMP Practitioner Level:

For proposal professionals with 3 or more years of experience.

Individuals and teams take part in a half-day interactive orientation session to consider, discuss and confirm their experience and evidence required for each syllabus topic assessed at APMP Practitioner level. This level of accreditation is only open to APMP members who have achieved APMP Foundation level status.

APMP Professional Level:

The highest level of certification for proposal professionals with 7 or more years of experience.

Note that Professional Level certification involves an interview and portfolio review, therefore it cannot be attained through formal training.
