Thanks God, I finally got my PRINCE2 practitioner certification.
If you have a good grasp of the major aspects surrounding project management, your journey for the certification exam will be less tricky.
First off, I have two advises :
- You really don't need to pay lot of money for the training.
- Don't count on a single resource (that applies to any certification).
If
your are already searching for the best training, you realize that
there are huge amount of online training videos. However, in my opinion,
there are two online training that are worth the investment : Mplaza or Projex's Prince2 Masterclass.
I
liked the Mplaza PRINCE2 foundation training and the instructor has a
smart approach to deliver the information, however the Practitioner
training was not up to par with what I was expecting, the discussion
approach wasn't the right option for me.
The Projex's PRINCE2 Masterclass was the option I picked up. It prepares you for both the foundation and practitioner exams (it really prepares you),
this is the best value for money training I could find. The videos are
shorts with easy to follow slides. The bonus with this training, is
that you have the opportunity to improve your English listening :), the
instructor has a pretty clear speaking English.
For practicing exams, I have only used two samples exams, one provided by Projex and the second by Axelos, try to do them just few days before the d-day.
For Foundation, I have used the free Mplaza exam simulator, additional to the plenty of free mock exams out there.
I have passed the Practitioner exam without the book. However, sometime I had the feeling the answer is in the book.
