As the number of people who undertake PRINCE2 Training is
increasing, so are the number of myths and misconceptions along with
it. It is important that you have a clear, specific and the correct
information about the training, especially if you are planning to
invest in the same.
- PRINCE2 is an acronym for all the projects in the NON Commercial Environments
PRINCE actually stands for ‘Projects in Controlled
Environment’. Its primary objective is to provide a structured project
management method which is applied to all project situations.
-
Only the project managers who want a job undergo this training
Not only is to get a job, training given in a way
such that the employees learn a more rigorous and a beneficial approach
to the project management.
- If you get this training, you will become competent
No, it doesn’t. It will simply mark you as somebody
who has invested time and money to understand the basics of PRINCE 2
projects. Also, the training will develop your skills in such a way
that you are able to apply the principles to real life situations. Only
the theory understanding will not suffice. In fact, it is the blend of
the theory understanding as well as the practical sessions that will
make a successful project manager.
- It is only a three day foundation course and two day practitioner course
Yes, although a major group of people get trained in
this way but it is not the only way that exists of getting the PRINCE 2
training. There are a number of training organisations that offer the
instructor led training in different formats that suit a variety of
learning styles and methods.
- The new exam pattern is degrading the value of training
A new system of examination was introduced that
replaced the earlier essay based examinations. This exam is for three
hours and it is meant to test the student’s potential to apply the basic
principles of PRINCE 2 in the everyday life.
