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!

Agile’s influence on the project management industry continues to rise at pace. More organizations and project professionals than ever are embracing Agile tools and frameworks as they aim to increase the success of – and return on investment from – projects and other change initiatives.
Since its introduction in 2010, AgilePM has fast established itself as the leading framework and certification for agile project management.
Published by the Agile Business Consortium, AgilePM guidance offers a practical and repeatable methodology that achieves an ideal balance between the standards, rigour and visibility required for good project management, and the fast-pace, change and empowerment provided by Agile. It offers a structured and scalable corporate Agile framework based on proven practice.
But why has AgilePM proven so popular? Here are some of the key features that contribute to its success.
- A tried and tested corporate approach: AgilePM is essentially a project manager’s subset of the Agile Business Consortium’s wider Agile Project Framework. The framework – established for over 20 years and regularly refreshed – provides governance and rigour along with the agility and flexibility demanded by organizations today.
- Addresses the full project lifecycle (beyond product development): AgilePM offers a mature Agile approach that, whilst offering agility and flexibility, retains the concepts of a project, project delivery and project management. It goes beyond the realm of Agile product development approaches such as Scrum.
- Quality & governance controls: One of AgilePM’s underlying principles is Never Compromise Quality. In an AgilePM project, high-level acceptance criteria is agreed at various stages throughout the project lifecycle, from initial requirements at the feasibility stage, to objectives for each stage of product/solution development.
- Risk management: AgilePM provides practical ideas for managing risk, directly addressing many of the common risks associated with projects. The Project Approach Questionnaire provides an effective starting point for creating a clear, shared understanding of project risks and their mitigation.
- Clear roles & responsibilities: People working together effectively is the foundation of any successful project. AgilePM recognizes this and assigns clear roles and responsibilities to each person in a project, representing business, solution/technical, management and process interests.
- Popular agile practices incorporated: AgilePM incorporates and encourages a range of popular agile practices to support effective product and solution development, including MoSCoW Prioritisation, Timeboxing and Iterative Development.
