Public Private Partnerships are one way to procure infrastructure and services. During the Public Private Partnerships Preparation training you will learn how to apply and tailor the established procedures, roles and institutional responsibilities that determine how the government selects, implements and manages PPP projects
Delivery format: Classroom, Virtual-Led & Self-Paced Online
Certification: Public Private Partnerships Preparation
The purpose of the Public Private Partnerships Preparation certification is to confirm whether the candidate has achieved sufficient understanding of the importance and general content of a PPP Framework and application of PPP Project Identification, Screening, Appraisal and Preparation Processes in a given governmental context. A successful Preparation candidate should, with suitable direction and as part of a multidisciplinary team, be able to start applying and tailoring PPP projects in a given governmental context, but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. This is the primary outcome from the Public Private Partnerships Preparation certification.
The APMG PPP Certification Program 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) and 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.
PPPs are one way to procure infrastructure and services. As explained in the Public Private Partnerships Foundation course, the PPP approach may provide significant benefits if and when a number of conditions are met. As PPPs are useful in procuring both infrastructure and services, this course is especially focused on better use of PPPs as a tool to deliver new or upgraded infrastructure. In this way, the greatest possible value from this procurement option can be extracted in order to help countries to fill the infrastructure gap by accessing more private capital and expertise in an efficient and programmatic manner; this is especially true for Emerging Market and Developing Economy (EMDE) countries.
For candidates involved on the private sector side of PPPs, the certification will enable the candidate, with suitable direction and as part of a multi-disciplinary team, to start applying knowledge of the PPP concept as an asset/business opportunity, and of Government’s objectives and institutional arrangements, to pursue PPP opportunities and manage PPP projects on the private sector side.
The PPP Certification Program Guide, referred to as the PPP Guide, was written by PPP practitioners. It comprises best practices from many countries and aims to bring a consistency of terms used in PPPs and to increase skills and capacity for the delivery of PPPs. Please see a summary of the PPP Guide below:
The Public Private Partnerships Preparation Course and Examination are based on Chapters 2-5 of the PPP Guide. This is a practitioner level certification – aimed at people involved in either developing or implementing PPP frameworks and in the initiation or implementation of PPP projects.

Salrasy Heng –
Simplified slide lecture – clear and easy to understand. Suggest having more case studies in the lecture.
Salpiseth HENG –
The course is very much relevant to my job in the General Department of Public-Private Partnerships. I prefer classroom course so that I can have time to concentrate on the course.
Muhammad Asif –
The trainer is knowledgeable, the way of teaching really impressed me.
Taha Khan –
As the exam was scenario based therefore course should be designed around scenario to build on the knowledge. Overall, it was a good interactive session.
Maryam Naseer –
The course delivery was good… Even the most difficult part of financial model was easy to understand and comprehend. Although my concepts are clear but adsorbing much content and to answer all in single day is bit difficult. In my opinion, test should be taken in module basis. Instructor was very good and communication was very clear and easy.
Zahid Abbas –
The training style was the most amazing thing I liked most. I also impressed by the trainer’s knowledge and support to the trainee. If you could change one thing about this course, I would like to conduct this course face to face with extended duration. Overall, it is a very helpful course for personnel working in PPP sector
Madeleine Chan –
Class environment is good. The material is quite dense and there is a lot of information to take in to prepare for the exam. However, I appreciate the accommodations that the program makes for us .
Meyka Chea –
The teacher is very knowledgeable and helpful. It would be better to extend the training to be longer since the materials are a lot
Sopheaphala Tuon –
The course material is very helpful. I think the course should have more sessions.
Yeh Li Lim –
The discussions on projects in hand were great! The course duration definitely needs to be extended to facilitate more discussion rather than just learning the theory. This will help in applying the learnings.
Dr Haslin Dato Paduka Haji Ali –
Similar to the CP3P Foundation course, I especially like the fact that I was able to relate the relevant theory with the knowledge I gained through my experience of PPP projects, which further enhanced the application of such knowledge to my current work. The training session allowed us to have in-depth discussion, therefore it would be useful to increase the time allocated per day during the course to allow for this, as we were slightly rushed for time to complete the slides, etc.
Jessica Lai –
I liked the flexibility that Jan had allowed us to focus on certain topics or questions that we may have in the course. However, time management would need to improve to ensure that we are able to cover all syllabus, theory and sample exam questions in class. Perhaps the course content and delivery could include more case studies or allow for application of theories learned in class. The reason being, the questions asked during the online exam are on case study/scenario with questions that test for application of theories. Overall experience is great! :)
Norlinda Matnoor –
Examples from other countries on PPPs are insightful. The best practices on PPP process are shared by the trainer and Jan assisted me to understand and improve on the current process. Thank you.
EUGENE CAPO-CHICHI –
A very good course! I would prefer to have it physically.
