An arms race has begun! Successful, work-winning professionals are actively working with clients to shape opportunities for themselves and their organisations to the exclusion of their competition. Our Capture Training Masterclass will help increase win rates, drive a higher likelihood of negotiated deals, reduce cost of sale and improve margins by enabling precision capture of pursuits.

This highly interactive Capture Training course has been developed by our exceptional training team to enable winners. It is specifically designed for anyone with leadership, business development, Capture, or bidding related responsibilities. The course is also an accredited enabler for anyone preparing for the APMP Capture Practitioner examination.

We teach participants how to drive successful Capture planning and execution through pinpoint research, aligned tactical marketing reachback, co-creating solutions and extending influence. We demonstrate how Capture is about the right people, in the right place, at the right time, having insightful conversations with clients.

The course leverages APMP best practice and brings the Capture-related elements of their Body of Knowledge to life. The course is further enhanced by added value content from our own highly regarded methodology and experience.

Jeremy Brim delivers the course content. Jeremy is a Capture specialist with 20 years’ experience pursuing opportunities of all sizes across the private, public and federal sectors in local, regional and global markets.
