Thanks ,Lovely response from all, With the numerous response I think I am better off taking the Prince 2 course. I am already on a Team lead contract role working closely with the PM.
And to be honest I don’t see what he does. The only thing is schedule conf appointments, and appointments, and another appointment, and appointments. Then mayb in the end he summarises anything we (technical guys) have said in the meeting.
At the back of my mind - im thinking,…….. hmmm I could do what this bloke(PM) is doing now, give my brain a rest and even earn more. –
In all I think moving purely into PM contract roles with little/no experience is the problem –
Then how do I gain this experience if no is ready to get me on board without prior exp. (Then I think this is where - “going for a lower rate role comes in”)Comment

You cannot see what he does then you go on to make flippant comments about what you think he does.
You are inarticulate and clearly have no idea - basic skills to overcome to be a PM, please do us all a favour and go perm and learn the trade by completing a few projects.Comment
