Managing Successful Programmes (MSP™ )
Programme Management has become a key element in delivering successful organisational change, and at QA we help organisations to attain the necessary skills through our learning services.
The APMG have recognised that QA are the single largest UK and worldwide provider of MSP exams (Foundation and Practitioner) in 2010*.

Why undertake MSP™ certification ?
MSP™ is the widely accepted best-practice approach from the Office of Government Commerce (OGC). It supports the management of multiple projects that typically aim to deliver strategic organisational benefits in a complex business environment. It is rapidly being the programme management approach of choice for large organisations in the UK.
MSP™ focuses on the three core areas of:
- Working with and changing the culture of an organisation
- Delivering results at an acceptable pace
- Realising benefits
What is involved in MSP™ certification?
The Foundation level qualification is attained by passing a 40
minute closed book examination consisting of 50 multi-choice
questions. The pass mark is 60%.
The Practitioner level qualification is attained by passing both
the Foundation examination and the 2½ hour long open manual
‘objective test’ Practitioner examination. (The pass mark is
50%)
Delegates wishing to attain the Practitioner level qualification
should book on the QA Programme Management Practitioner
course – they will take the foundation examination at the end of
the third day and the practitioner examination on the fifth day.
Delegates wishing to attain only the foundation level examination
attend only the first three days of the course and should book our
Programme Management Foundation course.
The Advanced Practitioner qualification is attained by passing the
Practitioner level qualification, and then attending the Advanced
Practitioner course. This prepares delegates by working on a
complex case study (MSPCare) both before and during the course, for
an open book essay style paper. This lasts 2½ hours, and delegates
apply their own experience as well as MSP principles to the Case
Study. (The pass mark is 50%)
Additional courses and services
In addition to examination courses, we offer overviews and briefings for various people involved in programme management.
All courses are based on the new 2007 version of the MSP
Manual.
