1. Introduction
The Management of Portfolios (MoP) guidance provides advice and examples of how to apply principles, practices, and techniques that help optimize an organizations investment in change alongside its Business As Usual (BAU) work. Qualifications are offered at two levels: Foundation and Practitioner. The primary purpose of the syllabus is to provide a basis for accreditation of people involved with the selection and management of portfolios of projects and programmes. It documents the learning outcomes related to the use of MoP and describes the requirements a candidate is expected to meet to demonstrate that these learning outcomes have been achieved at each qualification level. The target audience for this document is: Exam Board Exam Panel APMG Assessment Team Accredited Training Organizations. This syllabus informs the design of the exams and provides accredited training organizations with a more detailed breakdown of what the exams will assess. Details on the exam structure and content are documented in the MoP Foundation and Practitioner Design documents.
2. Foundation Qualification
2.1 Purpose of the Foundation Qualification
The purpose of the Foundation qualification is to confirm that a candidate has sufficient knowledge and understanding to work as an informed member of a Portfolio Office or in a range of portfolio management roles. The Foundation qualification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner qualification.
2.2 Target Audience

This qualification is aimed at those involved in a range of formal and informal portfolio management roles encompassing investment decision making, project and programme delivery, and benefits realization. It is relevant to all those involved in the selection and delivery of business change initiatives including: members of Management Boards and Directors of Change; Senior Responsible Owners (SROs); portfolio, programme, project, business change and benefits managers; and business case writers and project appraisers.
2.3 High Level Performance Definition of a Successful Candidate

This level aims to measure whether a candidate understands the principles, cycles, practices, techniques, roles, responsibilities, documents and organizational context within which portfolio management operates. Specifically to know and understand the: scope and objectives of portfolio management and how it differs from programme and project management benefits from applying portfolio management context within which it operates principles upon which successful portfolio management is based

approaches to implementation, the factors to consider in mantaining progress, and how to assess the success of portfolio management purposes of the portfolio management definition and delivery cycles and their component practices, and relevant techniques applicable to each practice purpose and key content of the major portfolio documents scope of key portfolio management roles.
Only learning levels 1 (Knowledge) and 2 (Comprehension) are tested at Foundation level.
3. Practitioner Qualification
3.1 Purpose of the Practitioner Qualification
The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to confirm whether the candidate has achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor the MoP guidance and to analyse portfolio data, documentation and roles in relation to a scenario situation. A successful Practitioner candidate should, with suitable support, be able to advise on the implementation of appropriate practices and techniques, and apply the method to a live portfolio, but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. Their individual expertise, the complexity of the portfolio, and the support provided will also influence the impact the Practitioner can achieve.
3.2 Target Audience

This qualification is aimed at those involved in a range of formal and informal portfolio management roles encompassing investment decision making, project and programme delivery, and benefits realization. It is relevant to all those involved in the selection and delivery of business change initiatives including: members of Management Boards and Directors of Change; Senior Responsible Owners (SROs); portfolio, programme, project, business change and benefits managers; and business case writers and project appraisers.
3.3 High Level Performance Definition of a Successful Candidate

Candidates should be able to apply and understand how to tailor MoP effectively. Specifically candidates should be able to demonstrate their ability to: define the business case to get senior management approval for portfolio management plan the implementation of portfolio management select and adapt MoP principles, practices and techniques to suit different organizational environments evaluate examples of MoP information (including documents and role descriptions) analyse the solutions adopted in relation to a given scenario.
The Practitioner syllabus will test learning at levels 3 (Application) and 4 (Analysis).
4. Learning Outcomes Assessment Model

A classification widely used when designing assessments for certification and education is the Blooms Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. This classifies learning objectives into six ascending learning levels, each defining a higher degree of competencies and skills. (Bloom et al, 1956, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives). APMG have incorporated this into a Learning Outcomes Assessment Model which is used to
Version 2.1 (Status Live) Page 2 Owner: Chief Examiner
provide a simple and systematic means for assessing and classifying the learning outcomes for APMG qualifications. This structured approach helps to ensure: A clear delineation in learning level content between different qualification levels Learning outcomes are documented consistently across different areas of the guidance Exam questions and papers are consistent and are created to a similar level of difficulty.

6. Syllabus Presentation
For each syllabus area learning outcomes for each learning level are identified. Each learning outcome is then supported by a description of the requirements that a candidate is expected to meet to demonstrate that the learning outcome has been achieved at the qualification level indicated. These are shown as syllabus topics. All Foundation level requirements are assumed to have been met for Practitioner level and are not directly assessed again, although Foundation level knowledge and understanding will be used when demonstrating Practitioner application and analysis learning outcomes. Each of the syllabus areas is presented in a similar format as follows:

7. Important Points
The following points about the use of the syllabus should be noted.
7.1 MoP Guide References

The MoP guide references provided should be considered to be indicative rather than comprehensive, i.e. there may be other valid references within the guidance. In practice, at Practitioner level, questions based on a syllabus topic may require knowledge of material from other sections of the MoP guidance. This will be clear from the context of the question and the scenario. The references provided include sections (e.g. 4.7) and sub-sections (e.g. 4.3.4). Where a specific section is referenced, e.g. 4.9, this refers to that section only it does not refer to its sub-section, e.g. 4.9.1 to 4.9.5. However, where a range of sections is referenced, e.g. 4.3 4.4, all sub-sections of the referenced sections are meant to be included.
7.2 Syllabus Exclusions

Examinations will be based on the main MoP guide and wont include items only addressed in the accompanying An Executive Guide to Portfolio Management . The examples shown in the shaded boxes throughout the MoP guide are not examined.
