Strategic Proposals is pleased to offer two APMP Accreditation training events on the day prior to this year’s UKAPMP Conference in Bournemouth.

APMP Foundation Level Revision and Examination

One-day workshop, 9 October, 0845-1700hrs

Attaining a professional qualification in proposal management techniques is increasingly recognised as a pre-requisite for proposal staff. APMP’s Foundation Level exam represents the first step on the accreditation ladder.

This one-day workshop, from 0845-1700 at the conference venue on the day prior to the UKAPMP conference itself, will help participants to revise for the exam and to build their confidence in proposal ‘best practices’. We’ll review the APMP syllabus, exploring key concepts and equipping you with the necessary information and skills. Participants will also sit the exam itself, and will learn on the same day whether they have passed.

The session will be presented by BJ Lownie and Jon Williams, two highly acclaimed proposal trainers – themselves both accredited Proposal Professionals. BJ and Jon are the principal directors of Strategic Proposals, an APMP Approved Training Organization.

The event costs £450 + VAT per head for APMP members, which including materials and the cost of the examination itself.
