Prince2 is an industry standard for project management.
Used in construction, Demolition, Commercial Diving, Product development etc.
Not just in IT.
In the Marine civil Engineering contracts that I undertake when not too busy with the IT side of the Business,, I operate under a CDM which is a Construction, Demolition management program. Under HSE regulations this requires the apointment of a project manager/supervisor who is best accredited by Prince2.

Trust that this clears thing up for you.

PS. Good Luck

Guys,

Now I am just wondering what kind of people take PRINCE2 foundation..? I thought it was taken mainly by IT Project managers. But what I saw is large number of non IT staff (& ladies)taking this exam..! Any on have any idea why these guys are interested in PRINCE2..?? Is there any non IT job (non white collar..!) role need PRINCE2 certification..?

Again Thanks for all your help....I will update outcome next week...Fingers crossed...

Guys,

Thanks very much for all responses, you guys were very helpful..

Abt Exam...
Not sure...will have to wait & see the outcome. I did around 3 hrs preparation on the night b4 exam. But in that 3 hour I gone through all processes well & glanced on all objects related..I have 2 years project mgmt experience, not PRINCE2 though

Out of 75, I got 10 definite correct answers, another 15 with 50% chance to be right..Honestly I found 1 hour time not good enough to have a relook at questions.

But again one question I have is ...I was bit surprised set of people came for the exam.All young people more than 50% ladies..!! Not sure why all these guys are interested in PRINCE2..? Not many were from IT background as well. Now I am just wondering what kind of people take PRINCE2 foundation..? I thought it was taken mainly by IT Project managers.

FFS. No wonder most IT projects in the country fail if this is the quality of the PMs.

as long as you get your money and your out of there before it does then all is well.

OK, quick tip. Find someone who has been on a Parity or Maven or similar training course and (a) get their practise exam papers and have a go and (b) copy the PRINCE summary cards which they produce - diagrams of the PRINCE2 processes etc. There are a fairly limited number of multi-choice questions for PRINCE2 so the more mock exam papers you do the more familar you will be with the questions that come up.

Thanks ..But I have only 2 years as PM, I have to cover rest 8 years...
