There are plenty of free project management introductions online, including short videos, articles and taster lessons. These can be useful for getting a feel for the basics, but they usually don’t include an accredited qualification or an official exam. If your goal is a recognised credential (such as PRINCE2, APM or similar), you should expect to pay for training and assessment. If you’d like a low-commitment way to explore the topic first, you can start with 1 month’s free access to our learning library and work through bite-sized project management lessons at your own pace.

Do I need any prerequisites to take these qualifications?

Many Foundation-level courses are suitable for beginners and do not require prior project management experience. Higher-level courses (such as Practitioner levels) may require you to have passed the relevant Foundation exam or hold an accepted prerequisite. Always check the specific qualification page for the exact entry requirements.Are workshops a good alternative to a qualification?
Workshops are ideal if you want a focused, practical outcome in a short time, or if you’re building confidence before choosing a qualification. They’re also useful if your goal is skill development rather than an accredited credential. If you need a widely recognised qualification for career progression or employer requirements, a qualification route is usually the better fit.
Do you offer training for teams or organisations?
Yes. We deliver private training for organisations and can tailor the focus, delivery approach and scheduling to your needs. Team training is a good option if you want consistent capability across a group, or if you’re aligning training to your internal project governance and ways of working.Can I study alongside a full-time job?
Yes, many learners study alongside work by choosing a format and pace that fits their schedule. Some courses have self-paced options, and instructor-led courses run on scheduled dates, so you can plan ahead. The available study options vary by qualification, so check the relevant qualification page to see what’s available for your chosen route.Knowledge Train is a Change Management Accredited Training Organization.
