Do more with PRINCE2 with the NEW ProPath certification pathway

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new ProPath certification pathway! This exciting new certification scheme comes from AXELOS - global best practice qualifications specialists.

ProPath combines professional development courses in order to achieve a top designation. There are three routes you can take, each combining leading professional development courses from our parent company ILX, along with our renowned PRINCE2® courses.

Let’s take a look at the ProPath pathways:

Candidates can choose from the ProPath Project Expert route OR the ProPath Agile Project Expert route, depending on whether you operate PRINCE2 or PRINCE2 Agile® practices. For either of these designations you will need to obtain the PRINCE2 practitioner OR PRINCE2 Agile practitioner qualification along with ILX’s Management of Risks (M_o_R®) Practitioner qualification and their Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) Practitioner qualification.

The third route option is the ProPath Programme Leader designation. This pathway comprises MSP Practitioner, Management of Portfolios (MoP®) Practitioner, and Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O®) Practitioner qualifications, all available from ILX.

Finally, the third and ultimate designation of ProPath Certified Portfolio Director can be achieved by completing two of these designation routes, ProPath Project Expert OR ProPath Agile Project Expert, AND ProPath Programme Leader.

Why combine?

ProPath brings together the world’s leading project, programme, and portfolio best practice certifications, for the breadth of skills you need to deliver meaningful organisational change, one step at a time.

Combining professional skills in this way offers you greater understanding of risk management, improved handling of more complex projects and programmes, and betters your ability to direct change. It has the potential to upgrade your leadership skills. You benefit from a wider business outlook and gain a more holistic view.

Candidates may already have the PRINCE2 or PRINCE2 Agile certification under their belts (either at Foundation or Practitioner level), and so ProPath is the perfect way to do more with your qualification. ProPath will further develop your knowledge and skills, ensuring you remain at the cutting edge of best practice.
