Suitable for proposal professionals with 1 to 3 years of bidding experience seeking formal recognition of their knowledge and skills.

Suitable for proposal professionals with 3 to 7 years of bidding experience who hold APMP Foundation certification.

Professional is the highest level of APMP certification, held by only a handful of individuals around the world.
