Axelos
AXELOS is a joint venture set up in 2014 by the Government of the United Kingdom and Capita, to develop, manage and operate qualifications in best practice, in methodologies formerly owned by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC).[1]
Portfolio
AXELOS manages:
- Managing Successful Programmes (MSP)
- PRojects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2)
- Management of Risk (M_o_R)
- Portfolio Management (MoP)
- Value Management (MoV)
- Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
- Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O)
- P3M3
There are third-party training providers, but Axelos manages certification. In April 2014, AXELOS announced that it was also launching a cyber-resilience qualification;[2] this would complement guidance available from CESG.
Background
The portfolio was originally developed for UK government, and is valuable; the government periodically requests tenders for private-sector partners to manage it. Historically, this had been APMG. However, in April 2013 Capita won the contract, under a new arrangement which required them to invest in a joint venture. This joint venture, AXELOS, was formed in July 2013, and it took over from APMG on 01 January 2014.[3] Axelos is also expected to "gamify" training materials.[4]
