The PS Professional Foundation certificate does not expire.

This certification scheme is for people working, or aspiring to work, within Professional Services.

The PS Professional is an integrated set of techniques for professional service teams which recognises the fundamental importance of both technical and non-technical expertise, whilst taking into account existing certifications held by the individual. The material is drawn from several sources and has 5 focus areas:

• Athlete – Personal Effectiveness
• Rainmaker – Commercial
• Catalyst – Delivery/Operational
• Executive – Business
• Authority – Subject Matter Expert/Technical

There will be a Foundation level training course and examination for all 5 areas. We also hope to develop the scheme further with a Practitioner and Expert level of certification.

Pour les personnes qui étudient en autodidacte, il est presque impossible de le dire. Comme tous les candidats ont une expérience différente et un temps d'étude disponible variable, cela varie d'une personne à l'autre. Nous vous suggérons d'acheter les manuels et d'y jeter un coup d'œil par vous-même avant de décider combien de temps vous devez consacrer à l'apprentissage. Si vous souhaitez une copie du programme, veuillez contacter le Service Client d'APMG International au +44 (0)1494 452450 ou par e-mail.

Pour ceux qui étudient avec un organisme de formation agréé, chaque cours de base est généralement dispensé sur 3 jours. Il vaut vraiment la peine de se renseigner auprès des prestataires de formation, car beaucoup proposent des solutions d'apprentissage sur mesure et mixtes, et il peut également y avoir des travaux préparatoires et/ou à domicile.

Voor personen die zelfstudie doen is dit bijna onmogelijk te zeggen. Omdat alle kandidaten verschillende ervaring hebben en een verschillende hoeveelheid tijd beschikbaar hebben voor studie, verschilt dit van persoon tot persoon. We raden u aan de handleidingen te kopen en er zelf doorheen te kijken voordat u besluit hoeveel tijd u nodig heeft om te leren. Als u een kopie van het curriculum wilt hebben, neem dan contact op met de APMG International Service Desk op +44 (0)1494 452450 of via email.

Voor degenen die studeren bij een geaccrediteerde trainingsorganisatie wordt elke foundation cursus over het algemeen gedurende 3 dagen gegeven. Het is zeker de moeite waard om dit te onderzoeken bij de trainingsaanbieders, omdat velen op maat gemaakte en gemengde leeroplossingen aanbieden, en er kunnen ook voorbereidende cursussen en/of huiswerk zijn.
