"Very impressed, one of the best courses I have been on. Thank you." - Proposal Writer, Balfour Beatty
If you need a Professional Qualification in Bidding, Tendering and Proposal Management, this is the course for you!
To have arrived at this page you will know something about the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) and its accreditation system. APMP certification is the global standard for developing and demonstrating proposal management competency. As an Authorised Training Organisation, Sixfold can help you prepare for and pass the Foundation level examination.
There are other providers of this training. However, Sixfold offers some significant advantages over the courses you will find elsewhere. Firstly, we achieve a very high first-time pass rate. This is because we have much smaller course sizes which gives us the ability to treat you as an individual and not as just part of the mass. Moreover, our facilitators are all deeply experienced bid professionals who have a history in running many bids. They bring this experience to the day and you will leave with many more ideas and approaches than you would get from the APMP syllabus alone.
It is clear from recent salary surveys that Foundation accredited bid professionals earn an average of 15% more than their peers. The survey results are very compelling. For specific levels of accreditation, progressing from Foundation to Practitioner level typically attracts a 14% pay rise, whilst advancing to Professional level leads to a further 30% increase. However, we recently ran a short survey of the people who had been through our Foundation training courses. We wanted to know what impact our training event had made to their daily working life. The results were instructive:
Over a quarter of our alumni responded. What they reported was highly encouraging and when we analysed the detail we found:
- 94% reported that they had found the information they picked up on the Foundation course assisted them in the way they did their job.
- 54% reported that gaining the qualification helped boost their status within their organisation.
and
- 13% reported that the qualification had directly helped them earn a promotion or (for freelancers) win a new contract.
To start you down this road, on the day of the event we will guide you through the APMP Foundation level syllabus and the examination itself, maximising your chances of passing first time. Plus, you will meet useful people in the your profession who are on the same journey as you and have a great day.
