Re: Help: Programs & Projects / Best Project Management Methodology
Hi Fariez, I believe I can help you with these questions, and hopefully this will help with your studies. In response to your first question, projects and programs can seem similar, as they both deliver a change and have a business case, as well as having a certain goal in mind. However, programs ac...

Re: Prince2 Self Study Course or Class Based Course
Hi i3666, I think it really depends on the elearning package that you choose. For example, Knowledge Train has their elearning packages here at http://www.prince2-online.co.uk as far as I know, the Practitioner exam pass rate is the same (if not slightly higher) as the classroom exam pass rate. In m...

Re: PRINCE2 exams

Re: How to start a career in project management?
AspiringPM, In relation to the previous replies to your message, I thought it might be helpful to say that the training company I work for offer PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner courses almost every week.

If you're aiming for PRINCE2 certification, then you'll probably have lots of questions about exam format, what preparing for exams is like on a PRINCE2 course, when you can use the manual, etc. Below are examples of questions ...

Did you set out to be a project professional? Or have you gradually drifted into project work, perhaps after being asked to take on project responsibilities at work? On the project management courses that I help to organise, some people are retraining to work in pm, others have found that they need ...
