How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer The Learning Machine has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and The Learning Machine awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from The Learning Machine.
Aimed at those seeking to enhance their bidding expertise, the Level 3 Award in Bid Best Practice covers advanced techniques and strategies. It explores enhanced market positioning, advanced bid processes, and the strategic differences between public and private sector bidding.
These are the units The Learning Machine registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with The Learning Machine. It does the teaching and the mapping. The Learning Machine sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Coach · your practice partner Illustration - Pitch it Evaluate
“Enhanced Bid Basics” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.
