MSP® F&P Combined in a Nutshell
- This combined MSP® Foundation and Practitioner course, taught by our engaging and experienced trainers, will ensure that delegates acquire all the information they need to become efficient MSP® Practitioners and pass both exams.
- This is a highly sought-after certification because it gives individuals a competitive edge in business, especially due to it being highly desired by a multitude of employers.
Managing Successful Programmes, or MSP, is a framework used by organisations all over the world. It helps an organisation establish best practice to deliver transformational change, this is often in situations where there are large and complex structures to contend with.
MSP is a framework designed to ensure successful programme management within an organisation. The MSP course methodology was created from the collective expertise and experience of practitioners across a range of industries and sectors which makes it a comprehensive yet highly flexible approach. It has been adopted by many companies within both the public and private sectors. Our MSP training course is one of our most popular qualifications.
The MSP® framework is popular with programme managers and project teams and offers the following benefits to an organisation:
- Alignment with business goals
- A solid structure for achieving programme benefits
- A flexible change management framework
- Boost stakeholder engagement and participation
- Achieve changes on time and within budget
Today’s organisations exist in a climate of constant increasing change. Organisations that have learned how to transform themselves through effective leadership and strategic control are more likely to survive and prosper in today's climate. Programme management is increasingly being recognised as key to enabling organisations to manage that transformation, therefore gaining an MSP certification could be a great step forward for yourself and your company.
If you are looking to apply MSP principles to your work, you would first need to gain the MSP qualification. There are two main MSP qualifications, these are MSP Foundation and MSP Practitioner levels.
We offer a Foundation & Practitioner combined MSP qualification which is designed to equip you with all the core skills and knowledge you will need to work on Programme Management. Our qualified MSP trainers will guide you through the MSP training course syllabus and help you prepare for your exams. If you have opted for one of our MSP courses in the classroom you will cover Foundation and Practitioner levels and both exams in the 4.5 day course meaning you are fully qualified in less than a week!

Live Virtual Learning allows you to complete an online course from the comfort of your own home. It is delivered by a live qualified trainer over video conferencing software. It will also cover the same content covered in any of our classroom courses.
Live Virtual Learning is a training course delivered by a live qualified trainer over video conferencing software. You can ask your trainer questions during the training and get a response right away. It also allows the attendees and trainer to have live discussions. An E-Learning course is a pre- recorded video delivered by a qualified trainer that will cover the content of a training course. You will watch this in your own time and you are unable to ask any questions or have any discussions.
Our classroom courses take place in venues throughout the UK and Ireland. You and the trainer will physically be in the same room. Live Virtual Learning takes place over a web based application from your home and it is the next best option to a classroom course. Both types of courses will offer the same content and support as the trainer will be able to answer any questions you may have using a microphone if you choose to do a virtual training course. Documents can be shared over web applications as well as email. A huge benefit of Live Virtual Learning is that there is no travelling involved, you can take a course online in the comfort of your own home.
We are capping the class size to 10 delegates. This means you will receive a high level of support from the trainer at all times.
We will be using WebEx as the platform for our Live Virtual Learning training. It offers you the option to communicate with your trainer using the microphone on your pc/laptop, use the chat option to type a question or select the ‘raise a hand’ option if they have a question to ask. So your trainer will be alerted anytime you have a question to ask.
If you opt to take a Live Virtual Learning course with us, you will also take your exams virtually. We will issue you an exam voucher for the relevant exams you have booked. You can then use the voucher code provided to book an online exam with the examining body for a time and date that suits you. This will be an exam taken on a computer via an online proctor with the examining body. You are required to have a webcam for all exams.
Your exams will take place after your Live Virtual Learning course takes place. Once you book and pay for your Live Virtual Learning course in full, we will issue exam vouchers to you. You will then use the voucher codes to book your online exams with the examining body. We advise you book your exam slots as soon as you receive your vouchers code to ensure you get an exam slot soon after you have taken your Live Virtual Learning course.
Absolutely. Our high qualified trainers will be offering the same high level support we offer on our classroom based courses. You will a few ways of communicating with your trainer while you are taking your course. You will also be provided with the same training materials that we provide on our classroom based courses.
You will receive the exact same materials that we provide on our classroom based courses. We post the training material out to your home or work address before your Live Virtual Learning course starts. The trainer will also share their screen with you via the Webex platform during the course so you will view the same training slides that we use on our classroom based course.
