Just completed my PRINCE2 Foundations 3 day course and did the exam a few days later and pass with some room to clear. Thanks to the lecturer, he made the content accessible to everyone who attended no matter their experience. All materials and tools where made available to us, and where easy to use and follow. Cannot recommend highly enough the Institute of Project Management.

I was very impressed with the course, and I thought that Richard was an excellent Trainer, who was extremely knowledgeable on the topic. I felt very engaged during the course and I stayed involved throughout. Similarly, the advice and guidance that he gave during the course were extremely helpful when it came to taking the exams, and the real-world examples that he used to illustrate the PRINCE2 approach helped to make the topic more tangible and easy to grasp.

I recently completed a project management qualification through IPM and while the course content was comprehensive, it was manageable. Many of the lecturers are industry professionals whose real world experience is valuable and insightful.
