The qualification

This is an online self-study qualification and the course duration is fully flexible to fit the needs of individual learners. You can join the course at any time and progress at your own pace. Once enrolled, you will have access to all modules for 24 months. 

On successful completion of this qualification, your membership will be upgraded to the Member level, and can use the MTPI (previously known as MIRPM) designation.

The course consists of six modules and each module includes an end-of-module test to aid revision. 

There is a mock exam available at the end of the course. It is timed and contains past exam questions, so it is a good practice tool for the exam.

The qualification is concluded with a final exam. The exam is online and it is ‘remotely proctored’, so there is no need to travel to a venue to sit the exam. Instead, you will be supervised by an invigilator online.  All candidates will be provided with specific instructions and have the opportunity to test the exam system prior to the exam.

The exam is based on the qualification syllabus as accredited by Ofqual. You can find the syllabus copy here.

The exam takes place twice a year and you will be required to book an exam within 30 months of joining the course. If you DO NOT sit the exam within 30-months of purchasing the course, you will be required to pay an additional £120 to sit the exam.

The exam takes two and half hours and it consists of two sections – Part A and Part B:

Part A contains a case study with questions based on it. A maximum of 40 marks are awarded for this part of the paper.

Part B contains eight questions in four sections. Candidates are required to answer three questions of their choice. Each question carries 20 marks and a maximum of 60 marks are awarded for this part of the paper.

The pass mark is 60%.

The Pre-Exam Revision Workshop is designed to provide intensive final preparation for students studying for the exam, either at work or on their own. The online workshop includes a comprehensive revision of all the elements of the exam with an experienced tutor.
