MoP®
introduction
The MoP® certification scheme has been developed to offer two levels of certification, Foundation and Practitioner.
FOUNDATION
Description of the course:
The purpose of the Foundation certification is to confirm that you have sufficient knowledge and understanding to work as an informed member of a Portfolio Office or in a range of portfolio management roles. The Foundation certification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner certification.
Course Format & exam pass marks
- Multiple choice examination questions
- 50 questions per paper
- 25 marks required to pass (out of 50 available) – 50%
- 40 minutes’ duration
- Closed book.
Intended audience:
MoP Foundation is suitable for professionals involved in a range of formal and informal portfolio management roles encompassing investment decision making, project and programme delivery, and benefits realisation. The certification is also valuable to those involved in the selection and delivery of business change initiatives, including members of Management Boards and Directors of Change, SROs, Portfolio, Programme, Project, Business Change and Benefits managers, as well as business case writers and project appraisers.
Course length:
3 days training, exam taken on the last day (preparation and sitting the exam). The course can be also delivered in virtual mode, respecting the standard course length.
Requirements for homework:
During the Course, there will be Exercises and homework assigned to be completed prior to the exam.
PRACTITIONER
Description of the course:
The purpose of the Practitioner certification is to confirm whether you have achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor the MoP guidance and to analyse portfolio data, documentation and roles in relation to a scenario situation. A successful Practitioner candidate should, with suitable support, be able to advise on the implementation of appropriate practices and techniques, and apply the method to a live portfolio, but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. Their individual expertise, the complexity of the portfolio, and the support provided will also influence the impact the MoP Practitioner can achieve.

- Four questions per paper with 20 marks available per question – all question items will be worth one mark, making the total number of marks available per paper 80
