I'm actually just back this week from a Prince2 foundation and practitioner course..... in Thailand bizarrely. Saw it advertised for 1000 Euros including hotel and all meals so combined it with a trip to Indonesia.

The company was Indian and to be honest it was all a pretty amusing experience, plenty of Fawlty Towers moments but the training quality was very good. It was in Pattaya though which is a world class s@@t hole. You mentioned being a trainer and to qualify as a Prince2 trainer you need to score I think more than 69 per cent on the practitioner exam (normal pass mark is 55)

I actually enjoyed the course and would recommend it. Also agree with the previous poster re: Agile methodologies which I prefer, but if a Project wants Prince2 not much you can do about it.

Just so I can get it on my CV!

There's a CBT I'm going to download this weekend, I'll post the link when I get home - it's a couple of hundred quid about.

I'm looking at this:

At least give me a chance to edit it.

Hi,

Looking for a prince2 foundation course, just wondered if anyone had any recommendations, quality of course is more important than the price....I'm looking to train someone in prince and thus need a prince training course and not a bootcamp to pass an exam...

Any recommendations please?

Thanks

Mark

Slightly off topic but does anyone else see a guy having a pot noodle on the cover?

Pretty much all PRINCE2 training I've encountered is geared towards passing the exam, I'm afraid market forces come into play here and that's what most people want. If you want generic PM skills training you’re better off looking at the APM style courses that focus more on day-to-day methods and techniques rather than the PRINCE2 process itself. Good PMs tend to rely on their core skills and draw on the PRINCE2 process when its required (by the project or the client), rather than using PRINCE2 as a starting point.
