Anyone want to buy my place on a PRINCE2 course in Birmingham w/c 11 May

£5.01 - did I win? This definitely is not eBay and nowhere near as good fun.

You win. Don't forget the £99 postage and packing fee.

Ah that's better - I feel like an eBayer now thanks.

Anyone know of any alternative ways of studying this course? I hate the thought of 5 days of cramming in a classroom atmosphere with rushed exams at the end........5 days later and most is forgotten

Prince 2 for dummies is, I kid you not, pretty good.

That together with "Passing the prince 2 examinations" and you're sorted.

You can do a self study passport through spoce. I did mine this way and passed with flying colours. don't believe the time it takes though i took 3 weeks averaging 1.5 hours a day.

You can buy the manual for about £45 and study it.
There are providers of CBT type training.
There are study guides available.
You can probably track down sample papers.

The exams can be booked and paid for without a course.

Self study is possible, but I understand that the pass rate for pure self study candidates is lower than that for course attendees.

Please bear in mind that a Prince2 qualification doesn't teach you how to be a PM.

...you would be amazed how many HR departments (and even IT directors), don't know that.

Its another CV filter filler.

Actually did the course I found it easier than self study.

Same, the group study environment was helpful and the instructor was excellent with very useful exam advice, going through exam model answers and marking Practitioner mock exams done in the evenings.
When I did mine it was in the days of essay type answers in the Practitioner exam.

I'm glad I did a course as being an experienced PM already was more of a hindrance than a help when it came to the exam as I would naturally shortcut some stages which would have lost me marks.

It's a tick in the box for CV filtering, it doesn't teach you how to be a PM, but it is actually useful as a methodology (NOT method) as a real PM.
