Benefits
There are some great benefits to studying for your PRINCE2 Foundation & Practitioner certification at weekends, including:
- You don’t lose money (if you’re a contractor)
- You don’t need to take time off work
- You’ll be traveling to and from the course when it isn’t so busy (nobody likes London during the weekday rush hour!)
- It takes less time than a normal weekday course
- You have more time in between the Foundation and Practitioner parts to do further study and to reflect upon what you learned in the Foundation part.
