A training Company

Posted by Kevin Moriarty on 23 January, 2012 - 21:18

Hello All,

I am looking for some advice on training. I am currently investigating doing the Prince2 Foundation/Practitioner course and am seeing huge differences  in price. I am currently looking at a Company called ProJstudy who use APMG accredited trainers. This seems to be distinct from APM accreditation and they are not listed as accredited trainers on this site.

Does anybody know anything about them, quality of the training or has anybody actually attended their Prince2 courses? I am currently on a very limited budget hence the appeal of their course.

Any help or insight you can give me would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kevin

Did you know that APMG are a totally seperate entity from APM? APMG provide a number of qualifications of which one is PRINCE2. APM provide their own suite of qualifications and you may be interested in the Introductory Certificate or APMP.

There's an interesting blog from Arras People that talks about the differences between the APM and PRINCE2 that you may find helpful.

Hi David,

Thankyou for the information and the blog was very useful. I was aware that APM and APMG were different organisations but was really looking for any feedback in relation to the training Company and why there could be such a difference in price of the same course. Was it a reflection of the standard of teaching etc. However, the information has been very useful and much appreciated.

Regards

Kevin

Hi

I wrote a blog for arras people some tiem ago at http://www.arraspeople.co.uk/project-management-training-directory/choosing-a-project-management-training-provider/

Price is not everything, you should look at the quality of the trainer and pre-course material too.
