MSP Advanced Practitioner
-
MSP (Managing Successful Programmes) is an internationally recognised best practice programme management methodology. It has been widely adopted and successfully implemented throughout both the public and private sectors around the world. Using MSP, large complex initiatives are broken down in to manageable projects. The methodology helps organisations to improve practices, offer better services and to plan better for the future.
MSP Advanced Practitioner level builds on and expands the knowledge and experience delegates gained at MSP Foundation and Practitioner levels. The purpose of the advanced practitioner qualification is to confirm that delegate could lead a programme of transformational change.
