Choose the best course for you
There are a multitude of formats available when choosing your PRINCE2 course. You can opt for traditional classroom training, online courses, blended learning, or virtual classes. Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to do some preliminary research to familiarize yourself with what’s available before making a decision. Knowledge Train’s PRINCE2 course provides all these formats, giving you the flexibility to choose what suits you best.
Keep in mind that each course provider will have their own way of presenting information and each tutor will have their own style of teaching. Before you invest in a course, see if the course provider offers course demos. At the very least you should check their customer reviews on google to get an idea of what quality you can expect from the course.
Know what you need to do to remain certified
PRINCE2 certification lasts of exactly 3 years. After this period, you will have to retake an exam for your chosen PRINCE2 certificate. Make sure to plan in advance, book a refresher course if you think you might need it, or set aside some time to revise your notes before sitting the exam a second time. If you’d like to take a refresher course, consider taking an online course if you have previously taken a classroom course. An online course will allow you to cover content much faster and won’t eat up as much of your free time if you’re confident you can pass the exam again without help from an instructor.
Know what you need
Not everyone needs to attain the highest project management qualification available. If you work alongside project manager or if you work in a PRINCE2 environment but aren’t a dedicated project manager yourself. A PRINCE2 Foundation course is likely the only training you’ll ever need.
If you work in an Agile environment, know that you might need a PRINCE2 Agile® certification in addition to a PRINCE2 project management qualification.
If you’re a student and perhaps want to flesh out your CV for the purpose of internships, an Introduction course is a cheap and easy way of impressing employers. You won’t receive any qualification, but it’s a great way of letting employers know you can work in a PRINCE2 environment.
