P3O® – Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices Foundation and Practitioner Course

Become fully certified in Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O®) with our accredited P3O® Foundation & Practitioner Course in New Zealand. This comprehensive programme combines both levels of the internationally recognised PeopleCert qualification into one structured learning pathway, helping you develop the knowledge and practical skills to design, implement and manage effective PMO structures within any organisation.

You’ll begin with P3O® Foundation, where you’ll gain a thorough understanding of the P3O® model, including governance, organisational structures, portfolio support, programme offices and project offices. You’ll then progress to P3O® Practitioner, where you’ll learn how to apply and tailor the framework to real organisational environments, ensuring PMOs deliver measurable value, improve governance and support successful project and programme delivery.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore PMO design, governance frameworks, business case development, stakeholder engagement, reporting, assurance, organisational maturity and continuous improvement. By completing both qualifications, you’ll develop the confidence to establish or enhance PMO capability across organisations of all sizes.
