APMP approved training course FOR CERTIFICATION

Delivered by an Approved Training Organisation (9 CEUs)

This virtual instructor-led training course is delivered over 2 days. It has been proven to teach bid and proposal managers and contributors a systematic approach to bid and proposal development. Few people have been formally trained in how to develop and write a good proposal. Sadly, great solutions often fail to win because of poorly developed and written proposals.

Shipley’s Writing Winning Proposals workshop has been proven to teach bid and proposal team members a repeatable, systematic approach to proposal preparation, for better customer responsiveness, for a lower cost.

This virtual instructor-led training course offers the same learning as the traditional two-day face-to-face training offers. It is delivered remotely, in four instructor-led modules, over a two-day period. It includes both discussion opportunities and group-based virtual exercises. Participants on this training course receive access to an electronically published version of Shipley’s award-winning Proposal Guide. The training course teaches principles of proposal development that can be tailored and applied to all types and sizes of opportunity.
