M_o_R Qualification Scheme
The M_o_R Qualification Scheme is developed by the APM Group Ltd in partnership with the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) and The Stationery Office (TSO).
The APM Group accredit a network of training organisations including their trainers and course materials, to be able to offer M_o_R courses and examinations.
There are two M_o_R Examinations, the Foundation and the Practitioner:
Foundation - A multiple-choice paper containing 45 questions to be answered in 45 minutes. This is a closed-book examination.
Practitioner - A case study question to test comprehension of the method, to be answered in 3 hours. Paper based reference material can be used during this exam. Pre-reading material is issued just before the exam, and candidates are given an additional 30 minutes reading time before the paper begins.
How to take the Exams
There are two routes towards obtain the M_o_R qualifications - you can sit the exams at the end of a training course, or study privately and then book the exam without a training course at one of APM Group's Open Centres. Find out more about Open Centre exams or place a booking at www.apmgroup.co.uk/M_o_R.
For details of training courses, please contact an Accredited Training Organisation.
Route to Certification
Candidates must pass the Foundation Exam before the Practitioner Exam, either on the same day or separately. If a candidate has previously passed the Foundation Exam, they qualify to sit the Practitioner Exam without needing to re-sit the Foundation.
If a candidate sits the Foundation Exam only, and passes, they will receive a "Foundation Examination" certificate stating that they have passed. However, if a candidate sits both the Foundation and Practitioner Exam on the same day, and passes both, they will receive a "Practitioner Examination" certificate, but not a "Foundation Examination" one.
