Why do I have to re-register?
The MSP Examination Board has determined that all MSP Practitioners should be re-registered within 3 years of their original certification. This re-registration comprises taking the full Practitioner examination. All Practitioners who have taken the MSP Practitioner qualification since October 2000 have agreed or are agreeing to this requirement as part of their initial application and so are now designated as Registered Practitioners.
How long does my MSP® registration last for?
The registration has a validity of three years and Registered Practitioners will be required to take a re-registration examination to confirm their competence in the MSP® Methodology before the end of the three year period.
What happens if I have gone past my 3-year period?
You should contact SPOCE who will be able to arrange the MSP® Re-Registration and the Practitioner exam for you. If you have exceeded the 3-year term, you can still take the MSP® Practitioner exam. In the meantime you should be aware that your "Registered" status is lapsed, and this will show on the Successful Candidate Register.
What format is the MSP® Practitioner exam?
The Practitioner exam follows the same format as your original MSP® Practitioner exam.
The pass mark is 55%. Each question tests one of the syllabus areas. The exam can be taken at any of SPOCE's venues (paper-based), or electronically (online) at your place of business or home.
