Reviews & success stories
I chose Knowledge Train for my PRINCE2 Foundation course after comparing several providers, and I’m very glad I did. The whole experience felt organised, professional, and supportive from start to finish. The live online sessions were engaging, not just someone reading slides. Our trainer used real-world examples to bring the PRINCE2 themes and processes to life, which made the terminology much easier to understand.
I particularly valued the way the course balanced theory with practical application. We discussed how PRINCE2 fits alongside agile ways of working, and how to tailor the method rather than apply it rigidly. The practice questions and mock exam were very close to the real thing, and the trainer took time to explain why each answer was right or wrong, which really built my confidence.
