IP3, a Tetra Tech Company and APMG, an award winning exam institute, have signed an agreement which offers joint recognition for both parties providing training courses that cover implementation of the complete life cycle of public-private partnerships (PPPs).
The APMG PPP Certification Program was launched in early 2016 and aims to foster a common minimum level of knowledge and understanding amongst practitioners with the intention that a proper practitioner should have knowledge of the whole PPP cycle. It helps practitioners leverage finance and efficiencies from the Private Sector and gives them a certificate, upon passing an exam, which demonstrates they have studied and understood the PPP Guide. The Certification Program is available globally and is an innovation of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), the World Bank Group (WBG) and part funded by the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) with a shared vision of enhancing PPP performance globally. CP3P is the definitive credential to demonstrate to your peers that your abilities are aligned with international PPP good practice.
The IP3 training courses are complementary to the CP3P program. These year-round courses are taught by leading international practitioners and provide CP3P candidates with technical training to enhance the knowledge they have learnt from their CP3P studies.
Since its founding in 1994, IP3 has trained over 35,000 officials from 175 countries. IP3 develops highly specialized programs on finance, policy, regulation, and infrastructure management in the energy, transportation, water, and telecommunications sectors, covering all the transactional aspects of PPPs.
Whilst IP3 does not directly deliver the APMG CP3P Certification Program, their Executive Director, David Baxter, was directly involved in the review of the CP3P Body of Knowledge and Foundation level certification. David comments “We endorse the program and would recommend interested students to review this as part of their ongoing development of becoming a PPP practitioner.”
Richard Pharro, CEO of APMG, the certification’s awarding body adds, “The specialized courses offered by IP3 support the vital role of educating PPP professionals in specialist skills needed to deliver successful PPP projects across the globe.”
