P3O®

Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O^®) training is available via our Accredited Training Organizations or their approved partners in many formats, including face-to-face training in a physical or virtual classroom, or via distance learning which may be delivered via Learning Technologies or other methods. Some training solutions may be a combination of both. For more information, see the Training section of our website.

Candidates are able to self-study (i.e. take the examination directly from AXELOS' Examination Institute (PeopleCert) without attending an accredited training course) for all the P3O exams.

For more information, see our P3O Certification section.

Each Accredited Training Organization (ATO) sets their own price for a course, so this will vary from ATO to ATO. Contact an ATO to confirm the cost and course delivery details.

The P3O^® courses and examinations are based on the "Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices" publication.

To purchase this publication and browse other official P3O publications, visit our store.

P3O^® Examinations have been translated into a variety of languages.

For more information, see our P3O Certifications section.

As of January 2018, AXELOS' sole Examination Institute (EI) is PeopleCert, who offers ITIL^® accreditation services. Contact PeopleCert for details of their accreditation processes and for more information about becoming an AXELOS ATO or accredited trainer.

NOTE: Any training organization who wishes to offer P3O training and examination services to individuals or organizations must be accredited. Organizations offering P3O training who are not accredited by an approved Examination Institute may be in breach of Intellectual Property law.

Candidates who have passed the P3O^® Practitioner examination can put "P3O^® Practitioner" on CVs, business cards and online profiles.

Only certain organizations are permitted to use AXELOS logos. See the Licensing section of our website for more information.
