Build your career through certification and recognition

APMP membership allows you to build your credibility with peers, clients, and organisations with certification, awards and recognition.

APMP offers the only industry-recognised certifications to its members. These certifications are the global standard for developing and demonstrating bid, proposal, and capture competency and best practice.

Certification helps you develop your career, pursue new opportunities and grow your remuneration. You are able to use digital badges and postnominals on all your profiles. Currency of certification is maintained by earning Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points which are monitored in your account.
