Since 2007, our engagement in APMP has been substantial:

• Chris Kälin was part of the founding board of APMP DACH from 2007/2008 onwards. He served more than 7 years as a member of the APMP DACH board, including several years as chair.
• CSK was key in bringing many corporate members on board (Swisscom, Bechtle, T-Systems, Panalpina, Arvato, Controlware, Jenoptik, Capgemini Poland, …).
• CSK translated the entire Foundation slide deck (100+ pages) into German to penetrate the certification programme into the German-speaking market. No other ATO has made a similar effort.
• While Chris Kälin was a member of the board of APMP international, he initiated the certificaton branding, another effort to promote APMP and its certification scheme.
• CSK has led the organisation of 6 APMP DACH conferences and significantly contributed to additional 5 conferences.
• In Chris Kälin's book, The Ultimate Bid and Proposal Compendium, more than 10 pages are dedicated to APMP and the certification scheme, in order to promote it.
• Chris Kälin, Klaus Pohlmann and Kathryn Potter have been well-received presenters at APMP events.
• CSK helped almost 2000 candidates achieving APMP certification.
• With APMP and APMG, CSK led the development and implementation of the very first APMP Micro-Certification (Executive Summaries).
• For many years, to promote the association, CSK was offering discounts to APMP members for eLearnings, books and other services and goods.

CSK Management was one of the first Accredited Training Organizations (ATO) for APMP, and later accredited by APMG International (Association of Proposal Management Professionals). 

CSK has been the pioneer in offering APMP certification training through webinars and eLearning modules. CSK has also been the pioneer for the APMP certification in the German speaking countries including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

All prospective ATOs must go through an exhaustive approval process to ensure they meet the high quality course delivery of APMG's (APMG International) certification standards. The process includes designating a lead trainer, attending and auditing workshops led by APMG, developing course materials that meet APMG's certification standards and having those materials approved.
