APMP has just released a new online tutorial to guide you in preparing your Proposal Practitioner Assessment Questionnaire. The tutorial is available through the APMP Education Center in the APMP Store (https://apmp.site-ym.com/store/default.asp).

What’s included in the APMP Practitioner Level Training?

The tutorial has 10 detailed chapters that guide through the entire process from getting ready to prepare your PPAQ, to submitting your PPAQ online. Start with your most comfortable competencies identified in a self-assessment. Then tackle more challenging competencies as your master the approach. See example competency responses and hear how to handle the challenging areas.

Here what a few members that used the tutorial have said:
Extremely well written and delivered online training, with very pertinent examples and a complete explanation of the Practitioner process!

I very much appreciated the “I’ve been there” tone – never condescending but sharing experience and tips on how to approach things.

I put my Practitioner off for 5 years. After viewing the tutorial I decided, “I can do that!” and completed it over the weekend.

The 2015 UK Bid & Proposal Salary Survey (the survey) represents the most comprehensive study ever undertaken.

The UK Bid & Proposal Salary Survey successfully delivered against its 6 stated aims:

1. Provide employers and employees with accurate salary data
2. Report on significant salary changes since the 2012 Survey
3. Align salary data to specific roles and responsibilities, rather than job title alone
4. Assess job satisfaction of those working within the bid and proposal industry
5. Increase participation (800 in 2012)
6. Deliver a bespoke online tool that allows individuals to benchmark their own salary and role against alternative locations, industries, and experience levels.

In total, 1200 people from across the UK contributed to the survey. We are confident that employers, employees and self-employed consultants will find the results valuable for the purposes of salary benchmarking, staff retention, peer review and career planning.
