Praxis Framework
The Praxis Framework Certification Accredited by APMG International - Equivalent to three alternative courses.
You would need to take at least three separate project and programme certifications to reach the breadth of guidance provided by Praxis framework. The content of other discipline overlap - forcing you to study duplicated themes and conflicting terminologies if you want a complete and rounded view of the discipline. Being comprehensive, Praxis removes repetition by covering all the key areas - combining the value of three accreditations into one.
Example of how the Praxis Framework Certification strips out duplication:
- If you chose to become a certified PRINCE2 or MSP practitioner, both have similar process models but use different terminology, so you would learn what is essentially duplicate information. With the Praxis Framework certifications, you learn about the process model once.
- Taking Risk Management as an example theme, it covered by many introductory courses such as PRINCE2 and APM's PFQ. The fundamental nature of managing risk does not vary between programmes and projects, therefore Praxis Framework Certifications cover risk once and explains how it is applied to different contexts. The same can be said of other themes, Business Case, Organisation, Planning and Control.
- Documents specified in PRINCE2 and MSP are also vey similar. When defining the context of Business Case and Stakeholder Management Plan or Strategy, the basic structure is no different in a project than in a programme. Therefore, the Praxis Framework Certification removes document duplication.
By stripping out the duplication, the Praxis Framework courses can offer training on all aspects of programme and project management for a fraction of the cost.

When booking on one of our Praxis Framework courses, delegates need to be aware, that they are expected to do between six and ten hours (depending on the learning style) of pre-course reading. This will include: review of the Praxis Framework website manual and of a case study. Additionally, during the course, delegates are expected to do two to three hours of evening work. This will include: review of day's training, practice of examination questions and an overview of the subsequent day's training.
Raj Khanna Associates' training is focused on the learning and not teaching. Therefore, unlike majority of other providers having a block of three or five consecutive training days, we would we spread the sessions over 2 weeks, allowing our participants to:
- Have an opportunity to make appropriate notes and digest their learning, before moving on to the next element. All our sessions are recorded, and participants can review them again to suit their learning styles.
- Apply the learning to the way their organisation and change initiatives are being managed, including their personal role and responsibility. Additionally, the participants can understand the different roles and documentations they might come across.
- Increase their chances of success in their examinations.
