PPSO Certifications
PPSO Essentials
PPSO Advanced Practitioner
On Monday 1st February 2021, Project and Programme Support Office (PPSO) Essentials and Advanced Practitioner certifications from the British Computer Society’s (BCS) came under the ownership of House of PMO, a professional body for PMO practitioners.
The two acquired PPSO certifications will form part of a wider curriculum providing PMO practitioners with a full suite of training options for those working as a Project Administrator, PMO Analyst, PMO Manager and PMO Director. Find out more . . .
The training options will remain practitioner in focused, with an emphasis on how to perform the role within the workplace, a practical and pragmatic approach which enables PMO practitioners to apply the learning back in their day-to-day roles.
