MSP Foundation

[Wilmslow]

Waste of space or worth a punt on Prometric for a couple of hundred?

Got Prince2, and ITILv3 both at foundation level, ISTQ intermediate, as well as hands on experience with HP Service Manager (also administrator course for HP-QC). Currently working in a major programme, but mindful of keeping the CV topped up nicely.

Is MSP worth having, or laughed upon as wannabe glorified PSO support?

Wasn't he the one who pissed on your shoes?

Haha - very quick thinking so late at night!

Karma counteracted this event though - annoying oik sat next to me on the spin class tonight, I was sweating like a good 'un, and a mere shake of my wet hairy head gave him a nice early shower.

"Foundation" level anything is worth roughly the same as 'Cycling Proficiency Test'. If you are a Permie then take it - a few days doss on the company dollar.

The foundation level is virtually 100% pass rate multi-choice and fairly basic, although the manual is useful. Like PRINCE2, if you have the time and money it is worth taking another 2 days to get the Practitioner (which still has a high pass rate). Negotiate hard on the prices though - whatever you decide!

It's not his money, he's a permy. He couldn't hack it as a contractor, people kept pissing on his shoes.

Would be self studying and taking the exam myself hence the cheapo £5 book from amazon and Prometric option. While not needed for my current job, as I know the basics enough for my role anyway work won't be interested in funding, but I should get the Prince2 Practitioner out of them which is good. Just want the CV primed for return to contracting as and when.
