CHOOSING THE RIGHT COURSE
Foundation or Practitioner?
If you are new to PRINCE2, Foundation is normally the starting point.
If you already hold an approved prerequisite qualification, Practitioner may be appropriate.
If you are unsure, arrange a free advice call and discuss your situation with Andrew.
None for Foundation.
Many learners come from operational, business analysis, change, PMO, team leadership and professional services backgrounds.
No.
PRINCE2 is relevant to a wide range of roles involved in planning, coordinating and delivering change.
PRINCE2 remains one of the most recognised project management qualifications in the UK and internationally.
The value comes not only from the certification itself but from understanding a structured approach to managing projects.
WEEKEND LEARNING
Can I really do this at weekends?
Many learners cannot easily take time away from work.
Some are contractors. Some are self-funded. Some prefer to preserve annual leave for family and personal commitments.
PRINCE2 Weekends was created specifically for those learners.
It requires commitment.
However, many learners find a predictable weekend schedule easier to manage than taking time away from work during the week.
No.
The schedule is published in advance so you can plan accordingly.
The commitment is finite and focused on achieving certification efficiently.
In many cases, yes.
If you have a question about your circumstances, you can contact Andrew directly.
