How to Pass the ECBA Exam on Your
Master ECBA exam prep in 2026 with expert study tips, a detailed blueprint, and strategies for experienced professionals
Your MSP Isn't a Certificate. It's Your Non-Negotiable Pass to Senior Roles You're already a PMP. You're good. You manage complex projects, hit deadlines, and control budgets. But you've hit a ceiling. You're managing multiple projects, but you're still just called a "Senior Project Manager." You're the one desperately trying to coordinate five different project teams, fighting for resources, and explaining to VPs why their "pet project" doesn't align with the company's actual strategy. You deliver your project "outputs" perfectly, but the overall business benefit still fails to materialize. Meanwhile, MSP-certified Programme Managers are given strategic authority, dedicated programme budgets, and command salaries 30-50% higher for applying the structured governance framework you're trying to invent on the fly. Your resume gets filtered out for "Programme Director," "Head of PMO," or "Head of Transformation" because you don't have "MSP." That stops now. This isn't another course designed to make you memorize the MSP 5th Edition guide. Our MSP Training Program is designed by battle-tested Programme Directors who have run large-scale business transformations in Indian IT, banking, and telecom?environments with conflicting executive priorities, resistant stakeholders, and profoundly unclear strategic goals. They've built this program to teach you the MSP framework while showing you how to actually use it to control chaos when ten different projects are all on fire and claiming to be "Priority 1." Unlike certification mills that teach you only how to pass the exam, we build strategic leadership capability. You?ll learn how to build a Programme Business Case that gets executive buy-in, create a Benefits Realization Plan that proves actual ROI (not just "on-time delivery"), and proactively manage inter-project dependencies instead of just reacting to them. The exams are just the proof?the real value is walking into your next steering committee meeting and confidently recommending you shut down a project that's out of alignment, presenting a clear benefits map for the next tranche of work, and leading a team of project managers with unshakeable authority. We've built this for working professionals who can't afford to stop their careers to get certified. Weekday evening and weekend batches, fully interactive with live Q&A. Every session recorded. Beyond the MSP training, you get business case templates, benefits map examples, 24/7 expert support, and end-to-end assistance with the entire PeopleCert exam process?where most aspiring candidates fail before they even understand the scenario-based Practitioner exam.

Eligibility Criteria:
MSP is globally respected because it's a two-stage validation of your knowledge and your ability to apply it. The path is straightforward and designed to build capability, not just test memory. ✔ Accredited Training (Mandatory): You must complete an accredited MSP training program from a PeopleCert ATO (Accredited Training Organization) like us. This is a non-negotiable prerequisite. ✔ MSP 5th Edition Foundation Exam: This is the first hurdle. It's a closed-book, multiple-choice exam that validates your understanding of the MSP framework's principles, themes, and processes.5 Our training fully prepares you for this, and the voucher is included. ✔ MSP 5th Edition Practitioner Exam: This is the real test. To sit for this exam, you must have passed the Foundation exam. The Practitioner exam is an open-book, scenario-based test that challenges your ability to apply the MSP framework to a real-world programme.6 ✔ No Experience Hours: Unlike PMP, MSP does not require you to log and prove thousands of experience hours. The prerequisite is completing the accredited training and passing the Foundation exam.

Stefan Long
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this training. Yomi was awesome as a trainer and working to make sure that we understood the concepts. Controlling Cost and Controlling Risk are the most complicated, but Yomi spent time after class working through questions to help others understand. This class also helped to change my perception of the PMP being this MONSTER to something that I can I can successfully do.
Nancy Davis
