THE BIG PICTURE
About this course
PPP Focused Training and Certification supports practitioners who need deeper knowledge of PPP appraisal and management across the project lifecycle. The certification is awarded by APMG International. Across three days, the course works through identification and screening, demand and affordability analysis, risk allocation, financial structuring, procurement choices, contract design, performance management and contingencies. Learners use checklists, templates and spreadsheets on case scenarios, producing scoping notes, risk registers, evaluation matrices and management dashboards. Certification is assessed by an exam administered by APMG International. Exam specifications and booking options are published by APMG, and candidates commonly schedule the exam shortly after training. APMG International owns the certification scheme. MindClick provides training and exam preparation and is not an accredited or authorised partner.
