The aim of the course is to enable participants to obtain PRINCE2 certification, and it fulfils this purpose. The trainer’s experience and teaching skills really help participants to understand and focus on the key points, the main mechanisms and the philosophy of PRINCE2. An additional mock exam under real-life conditions would be welcome.

I found the content too general, very theoretical and not in sufficient depth. The key concepts of PRINCE2 were covered in too brief a manner, without allowing for a proper understanding of the method. The training relied mainly on a slide-by-slide presentation, with few practical case studies tailored to our professional environment. Given the initiatives currently underway within my organisation, I would be grateful to be able to attend a further session with a different trainer.
