MSP® Re-Registration Examination
Since January 1 2010, Re-registration exams for MSP® have been available. From the start of the qualification, there has always been a requirement for all MSP Practitioners and/or MSP Advanced Practitioners to be re-registered within 3-5 calendar years of their original certification.
All Practitioners/Advanced Practitioners who have taken the MSP Practitioner/Advanced Practitioner qualification have agreed to this requirement as part of their initial application and so are now designated as Registered Practitioners.
All certified Practitioners/Advanced Practitioners have the opportunity to take the Re-registration examination in order to demonstrate their commitment to professional development. This is particularly important following the recent update to the MSP Guide.
By taking the Re-registration examinations, you will be able to demonstrate to employers and prospective employers the recency of your knowledge and commitment to Continuing Professional Development.
Re-registration exams are available for both Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner. You will only be required to sit the Re-registration exam for the highest level of qualification you have achieved. For example, if you currently hold the Advanced Practitioner certificate you would only be required to take the Re-registration exam for this level.
The format of the Practitioner Re-registration exam is:
3 questions, with a scenario background and appendices.
- Each of the 3 questions is worth 10 marks
- An overall score of 15 out of a possible 30 is required to pass
- One hour 15 minutes duration
- Open-book (only the MSP Guide is allowed).
The format of the Advanced Practitioner Re-registration is:
A 2000 - 4000 word "dissertation" (suggested target 2500 words) on a specific subject (selected from a range of topics) demonstrating application of MSP. It would ideally be based on a "real life" programme that the candidate has worked within. If this is not possible (if a candidate has not recently worked within a programme or their programme contains classified information), it would be acceptable to base it on the Advanced Practitioner Case Study "MSP Care". There are no time restrictions imposed on this dissertation. The dissertation will be marked out of a possible 75 marks with the candidate needing 38 marks to achieve a pass. Should the candidate fail the Re-registration, feedback will be provided. The candidate is permitted to update and re-submit their paper, however should this second attempt be a fail and detailed feedback is given then the candidate must submit a new paper. Instead of the re-registration paper, a candidate also has the option to sit the full Advanced Practitioner examination to re-register at this level.
