Program Overview
The CP3P Foundation (Level 1) course is intended for individuals working at a basic level of PPP implementation and aims to standardize their knowledge of the PPP process and terminology, while preparing them for APMG’s Foundation Level exam and to participate meaningfully in the PPP process.
This course is intended as a review and is delivered through a combination of self-guided modules and live sessions. Participants are expected to have read and have an understanding of the material prior to the first live session.
Included in this course:
- Three months access to the Toraza Zenith’s resource center
- Three x 2-hour interactive live coaching sessions with an APMG accredited trainer
- Summary videos
- An easy guide: summary of Chapter 1 of Body of Knowledge
- Sample exam

THE EASY GUIDE
The Easy Guide was exclusively prepared by TORAZA P3 Training for the sole purpose of supporting registered participants as they study the APMG Book of Knowledge Chapter 2 through 5 in preparation for the Preparation (Level 2) examination.
It provides a basic introduction to the key concepts, basic features and characteristics of PPPs. While it does provide a general overview of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), it is not intended to replace the APMG Book of Knowledge, which provides useful examples, additional information and interpretation of PPP and the PPP process.
The CP3P Foundation (Level 1) is available for delivery in English and Spanish
