MSP® (Managing Successful Programmes)

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

Course Overview

MSP® was developed by AXELOS to create a solution for executing business transformational change, and it has become a globally recognised framework for best practice programme management. It has become the must-have qualification for Business Change, Programme Managers, and experienced Project Managers who have earned their PRINCE2®, Agile, CAPM, or PMP certifications.  

Our MSP® Foundation & Practitioner training will help you demonstrate industry best practice in project management and business strategy execution. The Foundation stage will begin by teaching you the basics of programme management, before moving onto the Practitioner level, which will guide you through implementing the theory you've been taught.

MSP® can be used alongside other project management qualifications, including PRINCE2® and MoP®.

If you're also looking to earn your Practitioner certificate, why not consider our Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) Foundation & Practitioner training.
