The first qualification consists of 50 multiple choice questions to be answered in 40 minutes. This is a closed-book examination. Pass mark is 50% (25 correct answers). A pass at this level entitles the candidate to an MSP Foundation Certificate.
Practitioner
The Practitioner exam aims to test your knowledge of basic concepts and understanding of the MSP methodology.
The Practitioner examination has been changed to an objective marking style, closed book paper. The paper will consist of 9 questions with a total of 180 marks available to be completed within two hours. Candidates need to achieve a mark of 108+ (60%) to pass the paper.
Advanced Practitioner
The MSP Advanced Practitioner is the highest qualification for the MSP methodology and aims to test your understanding of the application of MSP to programme management.
The Advanced Practitioner examination will remain an essay based, open book paper. The paper will consist of up to 3 questions with a total of 75 marks available to be completed within 2 hours. Candidates need to achieve a mark of 38+ to pass the paper.
Background to Qualifications/Eligibility
Candidates must always take the Foundation examination before the Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner examinations.
If a candidate has previously passed the Foundation Examination, they are qualified to sit the Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner Examinations without the need to re-sit the Foundation Examination.
If a candidate chooses to sit the Foundation examination only, and passes, they will receive a "Foundation Examination" certificate stating that they have passed.
Please note however, if a candidate sits the Foundation examination, Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner examination on the same day, and passes all three, they will receive a "Advanced Practitioner Examination" certificate, but not any other certificate.
