I'm a PRINCE2 Practioner. I studied the book for 3 months, and passed both exams in the same week. The qualification is a useful addition to my CV, but I haven't been registered for years. PRINCE2 jargon is not used in the private sector, where APM and PMI seem to be preferred. I'm glad I did it, but my experience and the wisdom that comes with it, is worth a lot more than the qualification or keeping up with the latest version - which seems to be AXELOS's money for old rope.

Great video, love the channel! It's exactly what I needed as I am currently studying for my P3Governance certification and planning to pursue the P3O qualification soon. You're right about how these certifications can enhance your CV and job applications, especially since many jobs require them. While understanding best practice methodologies is important, putting them into practice can be challenging, especially considering P3M maturity. That's where real-world experience becomes invaluable. Adapting the knowledge gained from courses like PRINCE2 to your specific environment is crucial.

Loved this video. It was beneficial to understand your profile and career direction. Loving the videos after stumbling across your channel!

feel like banging my head against a brick wall after getting P2 P. still nobody looks at me, nobody gives me a shot, nobody sees potential to take you under their wing and mentor you while you contribute

It might open the doors for a junior role, but nothing beats real experience. You have to be amble to communicate with doers and stakeholders and drive those who dont want to be driven

Great insights. What website did you show for the pricing at 4 minute mark? The prices are decent.

After ten years in an emergency services role I'm looking at a career change to project management so your videos are really insightful! Just out of interest, what did you do prior to a PM role? As well as the Prince2 qualification, I'm guessing there's other transferable skills required?

Great video! Thinking of buying the book and doing it myself! Are the questions very paragraph based or are we talking single/ multiple choice questions?

Thank you for the video it brings alot of motivation. Does the PRINCE2 worth it also for Europe in general?

Hi there - thanks so much for this useful guide to PRINCE2. I recently took redundancy as a Digital Producer and am thinking of getting my PRINCE2 qualification to open new doors. Would you mind letting me know where you found those prices and which website your showing? Thanks in advance.

I have to say, I found P2 Agile interesting, but I didn’t find it really helpful. Certainly not in the same way the APM PMQ Qualification - that was actually really helpful!

Thank you for the video!

I’m studying PRINCE2 right now because for the past year I’ve not been able to get a job after being made redundant (I strongly suspect after speaking with recruiters, HR people, immigration solicitors, and past colleagues, that my need for a visa sponsorship plays a heavy role in my case).

I’ve been in technical project leadership in the consumer- and pro-electronics industry for the past 4.5 years before I was made redundant. Prior to that, I was the manager of an electronics design team for about 8 years, after I had been a pure engineer for 4 years. So a total of about 18 years in my career.

My question for you is: Do you think that it’s because you have a (albeit outdated) PRINCE2 certification on your CV, you’ve been able to land jobs even after it has expired? Or, do you think that you’d still be able to land your current type of roles had you not had the certification but was promoted/transferred into a leadership / project management position?

Thank you very much.

Horrible horrible people enter the workplace via this nefarious apprentice scheme. Try a Degree, an academic degree, and speaking an excellent standard of English. Develop academic skills, to be capable .
