About the Course
Across the globe, governments are facing increasing demand for infrastructure and services without enough public funding to meet it. Enter PPPs: a powerful model to mobilize private capital and expertise to deliver public priorities. But PPPs are complex. Poorly designed projects carry major risks, from cost overruns and delays to public backlash. The difference? Professionals with the necessary skills can ensure that the project is designed correctly.
This training gives you exactly that. Aligned with the APMG CP3P framework, it walks you through every phase of a PPP, from initial project identification to procurement, financial close, and long-term contract management. You’ll learn how to structure deals that balance public benefit with private sector incentives, assess affordability and value for money, and manage risk across decades of delivery.
You’ll engage with real-world cases, step through global templates and tools, and prepare to sit for the CP3P Foundation, Preparation, or Execution certification exams. Whether you’re preparing a project pipeline or reviewing proposals, this course gives you a shared language and proven playbook to lead successful partnerships.
