Overview
This course is designed for candidates who have already achieved the MSP 4th edition Foundation certification and wish to sit the 5th edition foundation exam prior to progressing to Practitioner. It is a pre-requisite for MSP 5th edition Practitioner certification that candidates already hold the 5th edition Foundation certificate. This course is designed for those who
- Have achieved the Foundation qualification in the level 4 guidance
- Wish to re-register their Practitioner status
- Wish to update their practitioner qualification in order to achieve Axelos’ ProPath certification.
PLEASE NOTE: This bridging course is NOT designed to teach the foundation syllabus in its entirety but will focus solely on the differences between the 4th and 5th editions. If you wish to revise the foundation syllabus, please book on to the 3 day MSP Foundation course.
The foundation exam will NOT be set on the day of the course. Candidates will receive an exam voucher, which they can use to schedule the exam at their own convenience. It is ESSENTIAL that adequate time is allowed prior to your course to read through the pre-course work and refresh your knowledge of MSP (minimum of 8 hours), and after the course to familiarise yourself with the new manual and the differences therein (again a minimum of 8 hours) before attempting the foundation exam and/or attending the practitioner course.

Delegates will learn how to
