Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) 5th Edition, Foundation & Practitioner – Virtual Classroom

How does the Exam Pass Guarantee work?

We have found our Virtual Classroom training has provided higher pass rates, which has made us confident to offer an Exam Pass Guarantee, so you know we’ll support you until you are certified.

With our Exam Pass Guarantee, if you do not pass the exam after attending this training course with us, you will be eligible to attend the same training again for free.

All we ask is that you:

•    Attend all class days and complete all assignments
•    Take the exam within 30 days of completing your Virtual Classroom training

*Exam Pass Guarantee does not include the resit exam; this would need to be purchased at an additional cost.
