P3 Certification Program
Venturing into the world of public-private partnerships can be daunting. Not only is everyone’s time precious but it’s sometimes difficult to find the educational resources necessary to develop an understanding of the complexities of the model. Contracts need to be procured properly with the right fundamentals so that the taxpayer receives the full benefit and power of the delivery method.
Join us for the Introductory Module after the close of the P3 Conference. Subsequent sessions will be held virtually, on the first Wednesday of every month from April to December, with a final exam in January 2024, and certificates to be awarded at the P3 Conference in 2024.
