As for the exam - you need to do a search. I would but I have a meeting to go to.Si posse, recte, si non, quocumque modo remComment

does the exams for £99, but dependent on buying and taking of a computer based training course too. All seems a bit too $kerching$ for my liking from searching so far.Comment

Yep, useful CV tool. Some contract requirements state it as mandatory and agents search on it (so, if you haven't got it, put it in your CV anyway using white letters so you'll come up in any CV search).
It's little more than yet another documentation set and project structure guideline but that sort of stuff is blindingly obvious to any PM with experience anyway.
I don't have it yet despite doing this stuff for years (too busy doing it to get the piece of paper that proves I can do it). My wife is a 'Practitioner' and has never managed a project in her life. The girl who does the project admin on one of the projects where I am currently is also a 'Practitioner'.
I'd say if you're on the bench and have a bit of spare time and fancy doing a course, it's probably worth doing. I wouldn't be taking any time off to do it where I could be earning instead though.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

Thanks very much for all your help. If I was to not take the role and study Prince2 off my own back, how long would it take me/how much would it cost to do?Comment

sorry just seen the link. How technically minded do you have to be? My main skills are as a manger at the moment, I have a solid understanding of Connectivity, hosting, network security-i.e I can talk the talk but not necessarily walk the walk if you know what I mean!Comment

Misguided advice
Alf, unlike a lot of other qualifications, all the names of those that have passed the Prince2 exam at F/P level are held in a database which can be accessed by anyone. So I wouldn't advise anyone to be 'creative' as a client can easily check and boot out any 'imposters'.Comment
