MSP Advanced Practitioner Training Courses

The objective of this course is to give delegates a comprehensive understanding of the ‘Managing Successful Programmes’ (MSP) philosophy and how it can be applied to live programmes. This course is delivered using the latest MSP manual and syllabus.

The course is recommended for senior managers with substantial experience in a programme environment. An MSP Foundation and Practitioner examination pass is a pre-requisite for attendance at this event.

The course will cover the following topics:

• Revisions & Developments
• Advanced Practitioner Conversion
• MSP Healthcheck
• Adopting MSP

In addition delegates will work through case study based exercises, and will be fully prepared for the MSP Advanced Practitioner exam.

All AFA MSP trainers have undergone the rigorous approvals process administered by the APM Group on behalf of the UK Cabinet Office. They are practising programme managers with considerable experience in a wide range of industry sectors. The use of hybrid trainer-managers is of great benefit to delegates and ensures that illustrations and anecdotes have up-to-date validity and that the training given, whilst being true to the syllabus, is also pragmatic.

This course takes place over three days. The Advanced Practitioner exam is taken during the afternoon of day three. Evening consolidation and preparation work is required in order to gain maximum benefit from the course.

AFA open courses are held approximately monthly at a range of locations across the UK. All venues have been chosen for their modern equipment and ease of access from major road, rail and air routes. Alternatively, client events can be arranged either on-site or at a suitable venue nearby.

Open course places cost £995+VAT per delegate.

Also included in the cost of the course are:

• Joining instructions and pre-course preparation pack
• Access to the AFA Atrium
• Printed course material
• Examination fees
• Daytime refreshments

Joining instructions are sent to delegates approximately 2 – 3 weeks before the course start date. It is assumed that delegates will have a current copy of the MSP manual; if that is not the case one can be provided at cover price.Typically 3-4 hours will be required for pre-course preparation.
