The APMP Chesapeake Chapter and Lohfeld Consulting Group are offering a 1-day webinar to prepare attendees to pass the APMP Foundation Certification. APMP offers the only professional certification program for those working in a bid and proposal environment.

This Lohfeld Consulting Group course trains students for the refreshed Foundation exam based on the APMP Body of Knowledge (BoK). The competencies are classified into five groups: sales orientation, information research and management, planning development, and management. The course explains best practices for implementing the competencies and provides constructive exercises and practice test questions.

Class will be conducted via a live webinar. Prior to training, you will receive a link to access the webinar. On the day of the training, you will join the Zoom session to view the course slides and hear the instructor’s presentation. During class you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in exercises to prepare you for the exam.

We recommend taking the exam online shortly after the class, but you can take it any time that works best for you. Of the hundreds of students who’ve taken our APMP Foundation Level Certification training over the past 12+ years, 99.9% have passed their certification exams.
