I liked the way that Spoce worked - never heard of e-Careers, would not trust a firm I have not heard of as I know most reputable training providers (I used to manage training for my team).

Originally posted by NetContractor View PostThanks. e-Careers and Spoce are the same price. Spoce claim e-Careers rebrand their courses. e-Careers claim this (used) to be the case, but allegedly they now align their course directly with Axelos. e-Careers also are offering a 1 month "mentoring" with a professional project manager, which I am not sure I require. I have not found anyone who has used e-Careers and thus am leaning towards Spoce.

If you really want to make the transition from Dev to papershuffler and master of the spreadsheet then have a read of PRINCE2 for Dummies (seriously) and if make it to the end with the will to live intact then go for one of the training providers to get the ticket. (qa.com, The Knowledge Academy, etc) but as someone else mentioned, without the experience you might struggle to get a decent PM gig.

Originally posted by NetContractor View PostI have decided to get certified in Prince 2. I need to take an online certification, and am currently comparing courses from SPOCE and e-Careers, both almost identical and the same price.
Has anyone had any experience with either of these providers?
Has anyone taken the Prince 2 Foundation and Practitioner courses?
Thanks.

Originally posted by NetContractor View PostThanks for the serious reply. I have been contracting for 15 years, as a dev. I have seen many a project succeed and many fail; of those that failed most have little or no project management.

Plenty of Prince threads under Business/Contracts so I'd have said there.

Originally posted by NetContractor View PostOf course I did, and there was nothing suitable. It is not a "technical" question or a "business" question as such. As is suggested previously, perhaps a new forum for "non buffoonery" would be a good idea.
Thanks for your valued input though.
