Pre-requisites
The full MSP 5 day course is too intensive for some. It may be your job does not require you to have the in depth understanding provided by that course. Or, it may be your learning style is better suited to absorbing complex matters such as this in 2 parts. The Foundation course is specially designed with such needs in mind. Those who need to take their learning further can attend the MSP Practitioner Follow On Course.
