Overview
Course duration: 3 days.

With the ever increasing pressure to change, organisations need to know how to deliver change in the most efficient and effective way. A P3O model provides a decision enabling and delivery support structure to deliver all change within an organisation, whether large or small.

The P3O guidance - aligned to Office of Government Commerce (OGC) PRINCE2, MSP, and M_o_R - brings together in one place a set of principles, processes and techniques to facilitate effective portfolio, programme and project management.

This three-day Foundation course focuses on the concepts, structures and duties of a P3O. The Foundation exam consists of 50 multiple choice questions to be answered in 40 minutes. It is a closed-book examination on the last afternoon of the course and has a pass mark of 60%.

The P3O Qualification Scheme is developed by the APM Group Ltd in partnership with the OGC and The Stationery Office (TSO).
