You're on the wrong site. This isn't e-bay.

Turns out I wasn't, and it is.

Hi,

I was expecting to be on the bench from today, but have unexpectedly been extended at the last minute. I made the rookie mistake of booking a training course which I can no longer a attend, and the terms will mean I get no refund - but I can can send a substitute.

Details:

• 5 day course with Foundation & Practitioner exams included
• Start date 11th May
• Location : central Birmingham

Make me an offer!

Arty.

£795 + VAT.

That's a lot cheaper than I thought. And definately not worth taking 5 days off a contract for.

What is the original price paid?

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

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.

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.

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

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.
