Foundation Level

APMP Foundation-Level Certification (CF APMP)

APMP Foundation-level Certification is the entry level for the APMP Certification Program. Candidates who would like to pursue a Practitioner-level Certification must begin at this level.

Why should I pursue APMP Foundation Certification?

  • To demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of best practices for proposal and bid management
  • To demonstrate your commitment to your own professional development in the industry
  • To prepare yourself for additional responsibility and more complex assignments
  • To advance to the sweet spot of APMP’s Certification Program ‒ the Practitioner level.

Eligibility

  • Candidates should have at least one year of experience in a bid and proposals environment; this experience does not have to be continuous. Time spent working or supporting salesand marketing also counts.
  • Your experience may be verified with a reference you choose. This is done on a random sample basis. You may not be asked for a reference, and/or the reference may not be checked.
  • Candidates do not have to be a member of APMP to take the exam, but the cost for non-member candidates is more than the cost of membership.
