All three exams for the APMG CP3P Certification Program—Foundation, Preparation and Execution—are available in Chinese.
Since 1990 China has committed $193,701 billion to PPPs and has 1,655 projects reaching financial closure. PPPs in China are amongst the most ambitious in the world, enabling the successful delivery of complex projects including Guangzhou-Shenzhen Superhighway, Zhangzhou Houshi Power Plant and the Hangzhou - Shaoxing - Taizhou Railway.
To support Chinese PPP practitioners and help them to foster a common level of knowledge, the PPP Guide, which is the body of knowledge for the APMG Certification program was translated into Chinese in 2019. We are now delighted to announce that all three exams for the APMG CP3P Certification Program—Foundation, Preparation and Execution—are available in Chinese.
The APMG Certification Program Will Help Establish PPP Good Practice in China
The APMG Certification Program informs candidates about the key principles and models of PPP projects. Candidates who successfully pass all three exams are awarded a CP3P digital badge which demonstrates to employers they have the skills and knowledge to act as an informed member of a PPP team.
The Chinese PPP Guide is a free downloadable resource to help candidates prepare for the PPP Certification Program and an excellent reference for all elements of the PPP cycle including finance models and contracting best practice. Over 1.25 million visitors have accessed the guide among all its language versions.
“The launch of the CP3P exams in Chinese is an important milestone,” said Imad Fakhoury, Director of Infrastructure Finance, PPPs & Guarantees at the World Bank “While the Foundation exam has been translated into seven languages, this is the first time all three exams and the complete PPP Guide have been translated.” He continued, “We’re pleased to know that our work to establish consistent good practices in PPPs will benefit practitioners in China as well as in other countries.”
“We published the Chinese translation of the PPP guide last year and it has quickly become one of our most in-demand translations. China is globally recognised as a leader in PPPs delivering ambitious infrastructure projects. The APMG PPP Certification Program supports Chinese PPP practitioners to deliver best practice on the full PPP lifecycle to deliver maximum value for money. The Chinese translations of the CP3P exams will help Chinese PPP practitioners demonstrate their skills to employers and act as an informed member of a PPP team,” says Richard Pharro, CEO, APM Group.

The PPP guide is now available in eight languages to make it accessible to even more PPP practitioners.
