Overview

P3O® (Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices) is the standard developed by the UK government to enable individuals and organisations to establish, develop and maintain appropriate business support structures.

The guidance brings together a set of principles, processes and techniques to facilitate effective portfolio, programme and project management by proposing proven enabling and support structures, roles and responsibilities.

These structures also bridge the gap between the process of developing the organisation’s strategy and that of its delivery.

This eLearning course covers the latest version released in 2013 and prepares delegates for the Foundation and Practitioner examination.

Foundation & Practitioner exams are sat online through the exam board PeopleCert, valid for six months and can be sat anytime during this period. The official exams and eBook manual are included in the package.

P3O® is a globally recognised and highly sort after qualification desirable to employers globally.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
