How is MSP® Practitioner training structured?

In five days you will cover both MSP Foundation (3 days) and MSP Practitioner (2 days). These can also be taken as separate courses if you prefer to split your training across different weeks.

During your training you will sit two exams - the MSP Foundation exam mid-way through and the MSP Practitioner exam on the final day of the course.  

The MSP Foundation exam is a one-hour multiple choice paper that tests your knowledge of MSP and is taken on day three of the course. 

The Foundation paper consists of 75 multiple choice questions. This is a closed book examination. The pass mark is 35%.  There are 5 unmarked sample questions included in the paper.

The MSP Practitioner exam is 2.5 hours. The Practitioner paper is a scenario based paper with 8 sections all worth 10 marks each. The pass mark is 40 (50%).

Our MSP® Practitioner pass rate in 2015 is currently 95%.

This qualification requires updating every 5 years and delegates can apply to take the re-registration examination with Silicon Beach Training.

By passing the MSP Practitioner exam, you attain ‘Registered Practitioner’ status.

We offer an exam guarantee to back up our confidence in our trainers. If you fail either exam first time you can resit the training for free. Terms and Conditions apply.

Will there be any MSP® Practitioner pre-course reading?

Before you attend one of our MSP training courses we'll provide you with the official MSP® Manual and our own bespoke pre-course workbook & quiz.  Our workbook guides you through the MSP Manual in an accessible and easy to understand way - giving you a solid base of knowledge before the course starts and allowing more time to be spent on the practical applications.  Up to 13 hours of pre-course reading is the recommended study time.

Will there be work to complete outside of MSP® Practitioner course hours?

You will be given homework in the form of Sample Foundation and Practitioner Papers and you may also wish to do additional reading in the evenings as preparation for the next day.

 Please ensure you keep your social diary free during the course so that you are able to complete work during the evenings.
