Take the first step toward a rewarding career in PPP by enrolling in the CP3P Foundation course today!

The CP3P Level 1 Foundation Course is aimed at those working at a basic level of PPP implementation, with little or no prior experience, as well as those with an interest in PPP’s. It aims to standardise their knowledge of the PPP process and terminology, as described in the PPP Guide.

The CP3P Level 1 Foundation Course course will enable you to recall, recognize and demonstrate understanding of the established procedures, roles and institutional responsibilities that determine how the Government selects, implements and manages PPP projects, as outlined in the PPP Guide, including terms used, process sequences and roles involved.

You will learn how to:

Identify the basic features and ideologies of PPP project finance
Explain the major sources of PPP project funding, its benefits and limitations
Explain how to set up a new PPP Framework or, where an existing framework is in place, what to look for to make sure it is effective
Describe the Phases in the PPP Process: Identifying Projects and Preparatory Activities, Appraising the Project, Structuring the Procurement Process and the Contract, Tender and Award, and Managing the Contract

Governments around the world now understand that public-private partnerships (PPPs) can be an important option to help meet infrastructure and basic service needs while contributing to a reduction in poverty. By bundling construction and service delivery, PPPs offer the possibility of improved accountability, greater innovation, and long-term efficiencies.

However, to get the hoped-for benefits of PPPs, public sector officials and managers need to develop and maintain skills and capacities to identify, assess, and procure PPPs – and, once the project is up and running, to manage the contract and regulatory requirements.

The Foundation certification is a pre-requisite for one or both of the next two certifications; the Certified PPP Professional (CP3P) Level 2 Preparation and the Certified PPP Professional (CP3P) Level 3 Execution.

If a candidate sits all three exams and completes them successfully, they can be awarded the CP3P Professional credential from APMG.

Specialists involved in all phases of PPP projects – including public sector employees, advisors, and financial and legal experts, among many others – will benefit tremendously from pursuit of the CP³P credential. Individuals possessing the credential signal their expertise in PPP practice, which gives organisations employing these qualified professionals greater credibility in the marketplace by demonstrating the technical competence of those assigned to PPP initiatives.

The new qualification standardises best practice across the globe
Provides a road map or method through managing PPP projects
Ensure you are aligned with acknowledged standards in PPP
Learn the common language of PPP so the whole supply chain uses a uniform language
Be recognised as a leader in promoting standards in PPP
Work in an established and structured approach with supporting templates
Includes elements of finance to help with procurement
Ideal for construction projects

The benefits are better working practices and common standards and knowledge across the organisation and supply chain. Ad hoc training costs are reduced significantly, and the option of online and workshop training, gives flexibility to all potential students.

At the end of the Certified PPP Professional (CP3P) Level 1 Foundation course you will take a 40-minute exam to test your knowledge and understanding of the PPP Guide so you are in a position where you feel comfortable acting as an informed team member of a PPP finance project. This will enable you to participate in a team environment and move on to implementing the process.
