QA Launches Blended PRINCE2 Training to Improve Pass Rate Success
QA, the UK's largest independent provider of training and consulting, today launches a blended learning programme for PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner certification that is premised on delivering increased opportunity for accreditation success. The cost-effective approach uses different delivery media to provide project managers, sponsors and team members with a comprehensive training programme in this highly valued and popular qualification.
PRINCE2 is the de facto standard for project management methodology in the UK. The national average pass rate for the PRINCE Practitioner examination is 71%*. QA's classroom-based programme typically achieves a 74% success rate**. The blended approach will further enhance examination success rates by providing a combination of learning media and support services for delegates.
"Project Management is one of the hottest skills today because organisations know that skilled project managers mean the difference between success and failure," commented Brian Sutton, Chief Educator, QA. "Our blended PRINCE2 training solutions offer truly effective, flexible programmes at a significantly reduced cost, helping our clients beat the project failure statistics".
QA's blended PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner programmes provide a combination of training delivery for maximum effectiveness, including elearning, self-study and classroom workshops. Delegates are supported by online resources and pre-examination clinics. This flexible approach offers a very cost-effective means of dramatically improving project performance.
Organisations with a large number of project teams will benefit greatly from this programme that can be customised to match a company's internal project management environment. The structured blended environment also enables project managers to put into place newly acquired techniques as they progress through the flexible programme.
