MSP® F&P Combined

 The MSP® Programme Management Training Course will prepare delegates for the Foundation and Practitioner exams. You will learn about managing groups of projects using MSP® principles, processes and methodologies. You will also look in depth at the MSP® framework, based on the 3 core concepts, which are designed to be modified to meet the requirements of specific circumstances.

This qualification is most suited for:

• Aspiring Project Managers
• Existing Project Managers
• Programme Managers
• Operational Managers
• Quality Assurance

If you have signed up to the combined Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) training course you will cover all of this content over your 4.5 day course. Your exams will take place during this time on your classroom based course 

The foundation level is taught during the first 2 days and includes an overview of MSP including MSP guidance, philosophy and terminology. It also covers an introduction of the principles, methods, processes and themes.

You will then sit your Foundation exam on the morning of the 3rd day of your course.

The trainer will then continue with the Practitioner part of the course which covers advanced MSP methods and case studies. You will then take your Practitioner exam on the morning of the 5th day.

Yes, we are a fully accredited training organisation. We are accredited with PeopleCert who are the examination body for MSP exams. Our MSP trainers are also fully accredited with PeopleCert.

In order to prepare for your upcoming exams during your MSP course you will be given set work to do in the evenings by your trainer. There is also an element of self-study involved so be prepared to do 2-3 hours each evening.

Both papers are multiple choice. 

The Foundation is a 60 minute paper and the practitioner exam is 2.5 hours long. 

The Foundation paper is a closed book exam and the Practitioner paper is an open book exam. The only permitted book in the Practitioner exam is the official Managing Successful Programmes Manual.

Both MSP examinations have a 60% pass rate. Therefore, you must get 36 out of a possible 60 marks in the Foundation exam and 42 marks out of a possible 70 marks in the Practitioner exam to pass.
