Strategic Proposals was one of the first APMP ATOs. Over the past 5 years, they have safely navigated over 500 candidates through the accreditation process, from more than 100 different organisations across 15 countries. Their award winning trainers Jon Williams and BJ Lownie, both fellows of APMP and authors of the extremely popular blog The Proposal Guys, are now joined by Graham Ablett as Approved Trainers for the APMP. All of their trainers are leading proposal practitioners who not only deliver first class training courses, but also regularly roll up their sleeves to win live deals. They regularly receive outstanding feedback from course delegates and have an average course evaluation rating over 90%. They offer in-house and public APMP Foundation courses – more details of which can be obtained from This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Since January 2007, Shipley has successfully prepared more than 300 people for the APMP Foundation Exam. Shipley has been an approved training organisation for the APMP since the launch of the Approved Training Programme in April 2006, delivering Foundation training in the UK, Europe, India, USA, South Africa and the Middle East. We have approved trainers in all our locations that are able to provide flexible delivery of in-house or open workshops.
Shipley’s APMP Foundation Level Accreditation 1 day workshop is an intensive workshop that provides candidates with an opportunity to consolidate their knowledge of the competency areas tested by the APMP. Preparation for the Foundation exam is through a series of leader-led discussions and structured exercises. Candidates have the opportunity to sit ‘representative exam papers’ to confirm their understanding of the best practices tested in the Foundation Exam.
Bid to Win delivers best practice proposal training in over 20 countries and has been an Approved Training Organisation since 2007.
In Bid to Win's APMP Foundation Level Accreditation Workshop, candidates for the Foundation exam prepare through a series of guided self study, instructor-led discussions and case based exercises. The workshop also provides plenty of representative test papers under exam conditions. On completion candidates are fully prepared and confident in their ability to pass the exam. The workshop is available in either a one day or two day format to support the needs of participants.
For candidates who cannot travel conveniently to a classroom based event a fully mentored distance learning option is available.
