I think this could be in the wrong forum. We only talk about BTL, video games and styles of waxing here.

Ok fair enough. You get training a nice lunch and a course which you sit the exam on the third day.

However since this time I just buy the books and go and sit the exam.

Yes I do understand that you have to apply yourself. However when you think about the difference between £195 incVAT (and an extra £70 for the book and one extra PRINCE2 book for balanced/broader view) and £925 +VAT I thought "me thinks 800 odd quid is a good motivator!"

At this stage I reckon I have saved (Prince 2 Practitioner / ITIL / M_o_R / MSP) about £2500 just by kicking my own butt and pushing myself to study.

Does anyone think courses are the best way? I personally found them a bit thin on depth

Any course is only worth the cost if it results in increased rates or business.

I'd recommend going to Maven Training, they have a good pass rate.

Don't mess around. Get it done.
