I did mine in a hotel just outside Oxford (onsite 5 day bootcamp), passed both Foundation and Practitioner and had no prior experience in Prince 2.
Food, Hotel and training was really good. All I would say is that its VERY heavy going, we were working from 8am > 10pm at night plus home work! The one evening we did have off, no one wanted a drink in the hotel bar - we all had an early night!
They had a campus near Oxford where I did an AX course. I really liked it there. Then they moved to a place near St Neots just off he A1.
P2 was hard work, the facilities were very good, though the package was quite expensive. It was an all in price, nothing additional to pay for, drinks snacks, everything, all in. The class size was enormous about 25 I think.
I later did MSP with Novare at their offices in Altrincham. I booked into a cheepo local hotel and in total it was way cheaper than Firebrand. The facilities were more than adequate, the staff excellent and the class numbers were low. Passed that too.
I also did Change Management with Novare. It was in a London hotel. Facilities were good, numbers low, lecture fantastic. Booked myself into a cheepo hotel in Cromwell Road, that was the only mistake! Passed it.
Thinking of doing M-O-R. and will do it with Novare when I get round to it.
I found PMPLearning to be very good when I originally did my Prince 2 and therefore used them for my renewal late last year. I was successful in both.
They merged with The Project Group earlier this year and my opinion is mixed on the combined company: Aikona Training. Admin side was not so hot when I tried to book my MSP course and then they cancelled at very much the last minute. I am now booked to do it with Pearce Mayfield. I will let you know how it goes. So far their admin has been Ok....!!
