PRINCE2 Live Virtual Training

Live Virtual Learning allows you to complete an online course from the comfort of your own home. It is delivered by a live qualified trainer over video conferencing software. It will also cover the same content covered in any of our classroom courses.

Live Virtual Learning is a training course delivered by a live qualified trainer over video conferencing software. You can ask your trainer questions during the training and get a response right away. It also allows the attendees and trainer to have live discussions. An E-Learning course is a pre- recorded video delivered by a qualified trainer that will cover the content of a training course. You will watch this in your own time and you are unable to ask any questions or have any discussions.

Our classroom courses take place in venues throughout the UK and Ireland. You and the trainer will physically be in the same room. Live Virtual Learning takes place over a web based application from your home and it is the next best option to a classroom course. Both types of courses will offer the same content and support as the trainer will be able to answer any questions you may have using a microphone if you choose to do a virtual training course. Documents can be shared over web applications as well as email. A huge benefit of Live Virtual Learning is that there is no travelling involved, you can take a course online in the comfort of your own home.

Our class size will be around 10-15 delegates. This means you will receive a high level of support from the trainer at all times.

We will be using WebEx as the platform for our Live Virtual Learning training. It offers you the option to communicate with your trainer using the microphone on your pc/laptop, use the chat option to type a question or select the ‘raise a hand’ option if they have a question to ask. So your trainer will be alerted anytime you have a question to ask.

Our Virtual PRINCE2 training courses will run 9.30-4 each day for the duration of the course.

Absolutely. Our high qualified PRINCE2 trainers will be offering the same high level support we offer on our classroom based PRINCE2 training courses. You will have a few ways of communicating with your trainer while you are taking your course. You will also be provided with the same training materials that we provide on our classroom based PRINCE2 training courses.

You will receive the same materials that we provide on our classroom based PRINCE2 training course. We post the training material out to your home or work address before your Live Virtual Learning course starts. The trainer will also share their screen with you via the Webex platform during the course so you will view the same training slides that we use on our classroom based course.

yes, absolutely. We are an ATO (Accredited Training Organisation) by Peoplecert examination institute, the sole exam provider for PRINCE2 on behalf of Axelos (Axelos owns PRINCE2). Our trainers go through a rigorous onboarding process and our courseware is signed off by Peoplecert examiners.

Our PRINCE2 Trainers have typically been teaching PRINCE2 qualification or worked in Project Management for over 10 years, having taught thousands of delegates in that time. Our trainers are all accredited by Peoplecert too, who make them undertake a rigorous on-boarding process. Our trainers have a lot of hands on Project Management experience in a host of industries, from the Financial sector to Engineering and Government.

You will need to do at least 2/3 hours homework every evening, based on your tutors advice. This will be a combination of reading and sample exams. Your tutor will help you as much as possible, but ultimately you need to do the practice exams and questions on your own to really get to grips with the syllabus and exam style.

You will take your exams online at home in your own time after your PRINCE2 training course ends.

We will issue you an exam voucher for the relevant exams you have booked. You can then use the voucher code provided to book an online exam with the examining body for a time and date that suits you. This will be an exam taken on a computer via an online proctor with the examining body. You are required to have a webcam for all exams. 

If you have booked a Live Virtual PRINCE2 training course with us and you need to resit an exam, we can arrange this for you.

You will get one free resit if you have booked a combined or foundation PRINCE2 course with us but if you need to resit the PRINCE2 practitioner exam contact us for further information.

Both of the Foundation and Practitioner exams are multiple choice papers.

The foundation exam is 1 hour long and the practitioner exam is 2.5 hours long.

You must obtain a 55% pass mark in both the foundation and practitioner exams to achieve the PRINCE2 certification.
