You can take a Practice Exam at the APMP site. This seven-question online test exam shows you the format and context of the questions. However, since it is only seven questions it may not be a true test of one’s ability to pass the real exam.

At the end of the Baachu APMP study course, you will have 3 mock tests to practice before you take the final certification exam. These questions test every core concept of the course and helps you to clear the final exam with ease.

The following table provides an overview of each of the Foundation Certification.

The cost for the Foundation Level exam is $400 USD. This does not include payment for Certification training offered by APMP-Approved Training Organizations (ATOs). Training to prepare for the Foundation Level exam from an ATO can cost anywhere from $195 USD (for self-paced learning) to $500 USD (for face-toface training), per person, depending on the ATO and the media used in training. The APMP Proposal Guide is available in the APMP Store for $59 USD plus shipping.

The good news is that Baachu offers you the 4 week training at just $299! (This excludes the APMP exam fees). Register now at Register for APMP

The following table shows what the APMP Foundation Certification designation means and how you should represent it.

The course fee is $249 + TAX (multi currencies available)

Yes, you make retake the test up to 2 times (for a total of 3 attempts). After 3 failed attempts, you will be required to retake the class (which you can do for free) and all the module quizzes prior to attempting the final exam again.

No. A certification that can simply be purchased isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. That’s why our courses are challenging. If we’re going to allow you to display a Baachu Proposal Specialist badge, you better believe you’re going to have to earn it.

You’ll find that the test is “satisfyingly difficult.” By that I mean, it’s difficult enough that you need to actually know the materials, but it isn’t tricky or difficult just for the sake of being difficult. That said, to preserve the exclusivity and importance of this designation, we have made the tests challenging and the questions do pertain to our proprietary methodologies, so you shouldn’t expect to be able to pass the test just because you have taken other courses in the past. This training is different, and the exams will reflect those differences.

At this time no scholarships are available. Fortunately we have priced our classes so that they are affordable to all, especially compared to similar certification classes.

You can move at your own pace! We understand that life happens, and that just because you enroll today that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to finish (or even start) the class this week. And that’s ok! Take as long as you like. We aren’t going anywhere, and neither is this certification.
