Notes:
MSP Examination
 
The MSP Intermediate exam is a 90 minute closed book exam taken in the afternoon on the 2nd day of the course. The MSP Practitioner exam is a 90 minute open book exam based on a set case study, which will have been studied during the training course, and is taken following the course on the Friday morning.
 
You may defer taking the exam for up to one month after your course. This will give you time to consolidate what you have learnt during the course, and time to complete an assignment designed to assist in your preparation. This assignment can be submitted to the course lecturer for feedback purposes at a further cost of £75 + VAT.
