Excellent, well-structured course

The structure, navigation, mix of media and clarity of content makes this an excellent course. Highly recommend.

Louise Dentice

Excellent course, I’d highly recommend.
The structure and pace is perfect, I particularly liked the balance between theory, guidance and test.
I’d highly recommend this course to others.
Thank you!

A good, well-rounded course that is ideal if you like the flexibility to go back and forth at your own pace or view sections more than once. The course structure is complementary to the exam structure with useful hints and tips along the way, setting you up to be well-prepared for the exam (just don’t forget to study the BOK as well). I’m happy to share I did go on to pass the exam! Now for the toughest question of all…do I have enough pennies left for a T-shirt?!

FAQs

What kind of exam is it? expand

The exam consists of three parts:

  1. The Scenario part contains one scenario, providing a description of the customer and the business rationale for the opportunity; the objectives of the opportunity; the bidding organisations and their history with the customer; as well as how they intend to position themselves for the opportunity.
  2. The Questions part contains six sections, called ‘questions’, each covering a different syllabus area, which will be clearly identified at the beginning of each question. Each of the six questions contains a number of part questions, e.g., part A, B, or C. Each of the ‘part questions’ will identify the portion of the exam points allocated to it. Each part question may have 3, 4, 5 or 6 question lines. Each question line within the part question attracts 1 mark, giving a total of 80 marks.
  3. Your experience, combined with the APMP approach as laid out in the APMP Body of Knowledge (BoK) Of note: Unless it is clearly stated otherwise, there is only one answer to each question line. If more than one answer is given, the response line will be void.
    • It is an online multiple-choice exam with 80 questions (Objective Testing Exam, OTE) .
