Prince2 2009 has Become Popular in Non-It Projects as Well, Says Firebrand Training
(NewDesignWorld Press Release Center) --London, UK, June 20, 2009 -- We’re just about to see the new release of the benchmark accreditation for project management, Prince2. In July the Prince2 2009 manual and exams are launched, scheduled to replace the current version completely by the end of the year.
So should I wait for the new curriculum to come out?
Well, the advice for both and individuals and companies is stick with the 2005 version for now. It’s more detailed (the manual is 500 versus 300 pages long) meaning if you understand 2005 you will easily get 2009. However if you get trained in the 2009 version you could find your new skills won’t fit into an organisation which has adopted 2005.
And with the current version being much more widely adopted in businesses, it will be a while until the 2009 method will be adopted as the industry standard.
So, overall Prince2 2005 is still the more rounded, more detailed cert.
Our advice is, do a Prince2 now in v.2005, and wait until your current cert expires before looking at Prince2 2009.
NOTES TO EDITORS
Prince2 is widely used as a project management method in IT-projects in both public and private sectors, but it has become popular in non-IT projects as well. It is now the UK's de facto standard for project management. One of the most effective ways to grasp the method is through
Accelerated Learning.
The training course equips delegates with a detailed knowledge and structure of the method, working through each stage of pre-project preparation and the project lifecycle.
PRINCE2 was originally developed by the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) now part of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) in 1989 as a UK Government standard for IT project management.
The Firebrand Training Accelerated Learning course:
• Helps students grasp complex project management concepts more easily by identifying and catering to individual student learning styles through a mixed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic-tactual delivery system
• Enhances retention by employing accelerated learning techniques focused on committing information to long-term memory
• Is not like other bootcamps where just the exams are taught. In fact our PRINCE2 training courses is delivers more case based scenarios than traditional training or boot camps
About Firebrand Training (http://www.firebrandtraining.co.uk/courses/managem...)
Firebrand Training is challenging the way in which professional training is delivered.
Firebrand Training, formally known as The Training Camp, has pioneered Accelerated Learning courses for busy IT professionals. The organisation’s innovative approach to course delivery has led to its status as the Institute of IT Training’s “IT Training Company of the Year” for the three years – something no other IT Training company has achieved.
Students are totally immersed in the subject matter, receiving an average of 12 hours intense tuition per day at a residential training site. Subject experts implement a range of teaching methodologies designed to fit with how we best understand and retain information during different periods in the day.
Accelerated Learning is an attractive proposition for contractors, whose time commands very high premiums, and employers who need to minimise staff absence. Firebrand Training has an above average pass rate of 85% - confounding critics’ claims that Accelerated Learning fails to produce results.
Firebrand Training was founded by Robert Chapman and Stefano Capaldo in Summer 2001 as The Training Camp. Stefano was a former student in the US and rated the company’s approach so highly that he decided to launch a programme of courses in the UK.
The organisation has since been recognised by Microsoft as a Gold Partner for Learning Solutions (MCPLS) and over 17,000 students have been trained in the UK to date. The success of the company enabled the management team to relaunch as Firebrand Training, which is focused on delivering training courses specifically designed for a European market.
Firebrand Training offers a range of courses covering all major vendors such as APMG (Prince2), Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Sun, and Novell, as well as specialist certifications in the areas of security, business intelligence, project and business process management.
