Public Private Partnerships Training

Cybiant offers a globally recognized Public Private Partnerships training program designed to equip government officials, policy makers, and private sector professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully design, implement, and manage PPP projects. Our training is aligned with the Certified PPP Professional (CP3P) framework, developed by APMG International in collaboration with the World Bank, EBRD, and other multilateral organizations. As an Accredited Training Organization for CP3P and founding member of the PPP Alliance, Cybiant delivers official certification courses that build institutional capacity and promote best practices in PPP delivery.

Our PPP training programs cover the full lifecycle of PPPs – from project identification and feasibility studies to procurement, contract management, and post-award monitoring. Each course is delivered by experienced practitioners who bring real-world expertise from PPP engagements across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. We offer training in multiple formats, including in-person workshops, virtual classrooms, and blended learning models, all supported by case studies, practical exercises, and country-specific examples. Whether participants are new to PPPs or seasoned professionals seeking certification, our programs are designed to be accessible, practical, and directly applicable to their work.

Three levels of training

The audience for Public Private Partnerships Training and Certification Program includes individuals working on PPPs or those interested in learning about PPPs, regardless of discipline or sector. Anyone can apply to take the exams leading to gaining the CP3P credential. Some previous knowledge or experience in the topics covered in the PPP Guide will be advantageous, but lack of experience should not prevent anyone from taking part in the Certification Program. CP3P (Certified Public-Private Partnerships Professional) is the definitive credential for demonstrating your grasp on PPP good practice and the ability to deliver PPPs to a high standard.

The CP3P Credential can be obtained by completing the following three Public Private Partnerships training courses, and successfully passing the examinations.
