Is it worth doing Prince2 for moving into Project management
Anonymous
Hello All,
I'm a professional from telecommunication industry. Currently I'm employed with a telecom giant. My current profile makes me work for technical support group, however, I'm willing to move my career ahead in project management. But since I have no previous project management experience I cannot go for PMP certification.
However, I can pursue Prince2 ( foundation + practioner) as it doesn't require any pre-requisites to be met. And I hope that Prince2 will aid me to change my job profile to project coordinator/ assistant.
I'm also pursuing MBA in project management from Disance education.
Please advise me if Prince2 is worth doing for me! Saving Changes...

This depends on individual company's hiring needs. Most often than not, companies will look for experienced personnel more than those with just certification. However, there might be exceptions to this where companies are willing to take in juniors and train them. Nevertheless, it should not stop you from attending PRINCE2 courses if your objective is to gain more knowledge in the field of project management.
BTW, you might want to consider starting a new discussion thread to post your question instead of posting it here in someone else thread so that might get more responses from the people here? Saving Changes...

I've been looking at Prince 2 Training. As I want to move into project management is the foundation course advisable? Or is it best to both the foundation and practitioner course?
I was recommended Prince 2 training, has anyone used them before?

Judy, reading through this thread should definitely help. There's an introduction to the different PRINCE2 exams here: Introdution to PRINCE2 exams interview that you might find interesting too.
Personally, if you can afford it, I would do both. It's only an extra day and a half in the classroom and if you know enough to pass Foundation you'll make it through Practitioner as well. Saving Changes...
Scrum Methodology can be applied to almost any project. Geoff Watts, is bringing a 2-day training course on Certified Scrum Master training. I would recommend trying out one of his courses https://inspectandadapt.com/course-ticket/...ng-birmingham/. Saving Changes...
