3 Motives to choose a 3 Day PRINCE2 Practitioner Training
Once a Practitioner course is completed and the exam is passed the main risk is to deal with the inability to apply what learnt once back in the office. You pass your exam, you achieve a new certification but you don't have a complete understanding of the methodology and how to apply it in real working life because you have been focussing on passing the exam only. You are confident in finding help by reading the book again and again but it is full of useful principles and lacking in real cases on how to apply them. Sounds familiar?? We care about delegates and our aim is to really improve their knowledge in order to give a real boost to their careers and organizations. So, does one more day make a real difference? The answer is yes, it does! QRP International delivers PRINCE2 Practitioner trainings in 3 days instead of the classical 2 days just to avoid the above mentioned likely situations .1. Get a real understanding on how PRINCE2 improves Project Management
With a classical two day course, the trainer knows that all the program must be covered at the end of the first training day in order to give space to exercises, case studies and to the exam simulation. The course is delivered at a very fast pace and sometimes candidates risk not to have enough time to ask their questions and trainers get frustrated because of the impossibility of going in-depth with complex topics. Having the availability to add one full training day means that the trainer can cover the program at a more relaxed pace taking more time for participants’ questions and dedicating more space to the most complex concepts and to the participants learning needs. You will get a real understanding of the methodology and once back in the office you won’t feel as you have to manage a PRINCE2 project out of the blue.2. Take the advantage of learning by several case studies and real life experiences
Any accredited PRINCE2 Practitioner training course provides an opportunity to apply the concepts of the PRINCE2 methodology to a scenario by using case studies, exercises and final exam simulations. The added value of choosing a QRP 3 day training means gaining a better understanding of how to apply PRINCE2 in practice with real-life examples, several case studies and tailoring advice for any situation without renouncing to exam samples and exam simulations.3. How to pass the PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam: a higher pass rate
The quality of a training is not determined by a pass rate; learning how to apply the method in a real context and having the chance to share knowledge and lessons learned with the trainers and the participants is the essence of a high quality training. Having said that, once you invest your time and your money in a professional course you expect to obtain the certification so, achieving the exam represents your short-term objective. All the PRINCE2 Practitioner trainings delivered by QRP assure a higher pass rate due to the chance of doing more exercises and simulations. Our experienced trainers give advice on how to tackle the PRINCE2 final exam and help participants to understand all the exercises done during the lessons and as homework correcting and fully discussing them. If something is not clear, you won’t be left behind! Courses are available in English, French and Dutch. Do you want to know more? Visit the PRINCE2 Practitioner page! Do you have any other questions about PRINCE2 PRACTITIONER course? Do you wish to organize an in-house course or to send several people? Get in touch with us!

The Eurovision Song Contest, the international song competition among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union, has reached its 64th edition.
The contest is one of the most notorious and long-lived TV music festival in the world: every year singers from all over Europe try to catch the audience attention through music and funny performances.
But how to manage such a complex event? Thanks to a set of best practices like MSP!
Eurovision Song Contest as a Programme of Projects
Eurovision Song Contest is a big event which is being broadcast to nearly 200 million people . It requires an intensive and structurated working plan. In other words, it's a programme, a set of projects!
A competition that involves 41 countries and each of them has its own goals to achieve. In addition, there are also projects around hosting the event in Israel. All these factors made of the Eurovision Song Contest an effective example of programme management.
John Edmonds, PPM Portfolio Development Manager published a very interesting article on the topic (The Eurovision Song Contest - How to make it work using MSP - AXELOS). Edmonds tries to underpin the MSP principles at work which allowed and are still allowing the Eurovision Song Contes to be a high-profile and successful event .
Applying MSP principles on Eurovision Song Contest
Edmonds writes that the use of three principles of MSP are able to contribute to the success of the Eurovision Song Contest. The MSP principles taken into consideration are: Learning from Experience, Envisioning and Communicating, Designing and delivering a coherent capability. Let's examine them one by one.
MSP's principle: Learning from Experience
The Eurovision 2019 arrived at its 64th edition and Israel already hosted it twice in the past 20 years. So, the team had the opportunity to learn a lot during the years making all those lessons available for the current organizers: the ability to apply all those lessons in an effective way is foundamental for the success of the whole event.
MSP's principle: Envisioning and Communicating
Engagement is essential for Entertainment Business. Two ways in which we can encourage engagement on a large scale are:
- Be pragmatic: do not enable a ‘one size fits all ’ approach.
- Work in an engaging way that involves the participation of as many stakeholders as possible.
MSP's principle: Designing and delivering a coherent capability
Coherency and a well-designed show are essential for the overall vision of the event. For this reason, the main stage at Eurovision 2019 is being designed by the same team from the five previous years.
