MSP Foundation and Practitioner Course 5th Edition

Become fully certified in programme management with our accredited MSP® Foundation & Practitioner Course in New Zealand. This comprehensive programme combines both levels of the internationally recognised Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) qualification, providing a structured learning pathway from understanding the framework to confidently applying it within complex organisational change programmes.

You’ll begin with MSP® Foundation, where you’ll develop a thorough understanding of the MSP® 5th Edition framework, including its principles, governance themes and transformational flow. You’ll then progress to MSP® Practitioner, where you’ll learn how to apply and tailor the framework to real organisational scenarios, ensuring programmes remain aligned with strategic objectives while delivering measurable business benefits.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore programme governance, leadership, stakeholder engagement, benefits realisation, programme planning, risk management and organisational transformation. By combining both qualifications into one programme, you’ll build the knowledge and practical skills needed to lead successful programmes across both public and private sector organisations.
