How will I benefit from taking this course/what career paths will be open to me?

If you are looking for a project management job role some recruitment agencies won’t even consider you without having PRINCE2 on your C.V and some interviewers may wonder why you didn't formalise your experience by tackling the training and the exams. Don’t give them the chance.

PRINCE2 on your  CV will rate you as an all-round professional; if you want to move on to a new challenge, it could be your passport out as it’s not tied to any type of project, company, industry or culture, PRINCE2 is totally portable and acknowledged across the global job market.

Testimonial of former student:

NATO-One of the things we really value about ILX Group is its flexible and partnership-style approach to training. We're able to use its products, services and highly experienced trainers together with our own in-house capabilities to deliver the most effective and best-fit training solution to our staff. And it is an approach that is starting to pay dividends because we now find that staff who've been through the ILX Group solution are much better equipped to manage projects in a more cost effective and timely way. It also means that we have a more consistent approach to project management despite the multi-national and multi-culture mix of staff in NATO.
