P3O Foundation and Practitioner Course

The P3O® Combi training includes BOTH the Foundation and the Practitioner certifications. Both the P3O Foundation exam and the P3O Practitioner exam are included. Candidates can benefit from a reduction on the total price by choosing the Combi training.

The P3O Combi course consists of two courses: the P3O Foundation and the Practitioner course for your PMO Office.

P3O Foundation aims to confirm that a candidate has sufficient knowledge and understanding of the P3O guidance to interact effectively with, or act as an informed member of, an office within a P3O model.
