The booking and binder were good for someone with no project management background. I would recommend letting people know it is an intensive course and does require a bit of study.
The venue is in a good location but I think refreshments could have been better considering the cost. Also chairs designed for long periods of sitting would be useful.
The quality of the information and enthusiasm was very strong.
Slightly confused on some occasions as to whether I should be looking at the textbook or the course handbook for information being presented.
Nevertheless, I would certainly recommend this course to others!
Would recommend to others!

What is the history of PRINCE2?
PRINCE (meaning ‘PRojects IN Controlled Environments’) is a project management methodology derived from an earlier method called PROMPT II (Project Resource Organisation Management Planning Techniques).
In 1989, PRINCE was adopted by the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) as a UK government standard for project management on IT projects.
In 1996, PRINCE2 was revised as the 2nd version and became known as PRINCE2. This was a generic project management method to be used on any type of project. Since 1996, PRINCE2 has become widely used across the world by governments and corporations. It is used by the United Nations Development Programme.
Since 1996 PRINCE2 has undergone several revisions. It was revised in 2009 under the auspices of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) which is when it moved away from an essay-based Practitioner exam to a multiple-choice exam.
In 2014, AXELOS was formed as a joint venture between the Cabinet Office and Capita plc. AXELOS took over responsibility for the maintenance and development of PRINCE2. Under the leadership of AXELOS, PRINCE2 was revised again in 2017 to incorporate more guidance on tailoring of the method. This latest revision is also known as PRINCE2 6th edition.
In 2018, PeopleCert was chosen by AXELOS as the sole EI (Examination Institute) for delivery of PRINCE2 Accreditation and Examination services worldwide.
Knowledge Train is one of many PRINCE2 Accredited Training Organizations (ATOs) which are accredited worldwide by PeopleCert to provide accredited PRINCE2 training and examinations to students.
