I currently work on projects and want to learn new skills to bring back to work
In this case you probably should choose either a PRINCE2 Foundation or a combined PRINCE2 Foundation & Practitioner course. These will provide you with a much deeper understanding of PRINCE2 than this introductory course.
I want to change career and work in project management
You will find that PRINCE2 is widely recognised as an essential starting point when looking for many jobs, not just project management jobs.
Even if you want to make a complete career change you will find that many jobs require project management skills that are transferable. This is true even for project work at university.
One thing to remember however, is that if you want to work in project management, gaining the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification is recommended. Gaining the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification shows you can apply PRINCE2 to simple projects. In that respect, a more suitable course for you would be the PRINCE2 online Foundation & Practitioner course.
I want an introductory PRINCE2 course for my colleagues
If you need a simple, short course to provide your colleagues with a basic overview of PRINCE2, this course is ideal. It is also compliant with industry-standard learning management system (LMS) standards such as SCORM, Tin Can API and AICC which means you can add it to your corporate learning management system and be able to track your users’ usage.
