How to Differentiate Between PRINCE2 Training Providers

prince-2-class-size

All PRINCE2 training providers must be accredited by APMG in order to offer official PRINCE2 courses. This often leads to the misconception that all PRINCE2 courses are the same, and that the only differentiating factor is price.

That’s simply not the case…

Read a list of common misconceptions about PRINCE2

If you see a 5-day PRINCE2 Practitioner Course advertised for £600, stop and ask yourself how that course is so cheap.

The main way to get the price down, is to cram more delegates in to the training room. We’ve come across some PRINCE2 training providers who will fill courses up to 20 people. That’s right – TWENTY! That’s an insane number of people for any training course – let along an intensive workshop like PRINCE2.

You can also cut costs by using the cheapest PRINCE2 trainers (which tend to be those with less experience) and by using lower quality training materials.

Our PRINCE2 courses will never be the cheapest on the market, but we’re quite happy with that.

We’re confident that for the rates we charge, our PRINCE2 courses are excellent value for money for the high quality we provide.

Here’s what sets us apart from the rest – you might want to use this as the basis for questions to ask PRINCE2 course providers if you’re shopping around.

Why are our PRINCE2 Courses different?

Maximum Group Size of 12

PRINCE2 Training RoomHaving the time to have your questions answered is vital on a PRINCE2 course. This will not only help you to pass your PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam – but will be a great help in relating what you are learning to your own work, helping you to start implementing it faster when you get back to the office.

In a group of 20 – we believe you have no hope of having your questions answered effectively – so we NEVER have more than 12 people on a course.

Experienced Project Managers as PRINCE2 Trainers

Just holding a PRINCE2 qualification doesn’t make you a brilliant project manager – and the same applies to trainers.

All of our trainers have proven project management expertise from using PRINCE2 on projects in the real world.

This makes it easy for them to:

  1. Help you to pass your PRINCE2 Practitioner exam, which is all about applying the methodology to real-world scenarios
  2. Give you advice that is based on hard-won experience on how to effectively apply PRINCE2 to your own projects when you return to the office

We NEVER use trainers who have just learned the PRINCE2  methodology in order to teach and have not applied it for real
