Prince2 Course - Finally Done And Dusted

Friday morning saw all 16 participants of this course sat in the exam room ready to take the Practitioner exam. The exam lasted 3 hours and was an open book one. The funny thing was that at the beginning of the course, the tutor mentioned that we shouldn't worry because the exam was an open book one, and that we could refer to the PRINCE2 text book whenever we wanted. On the exam day, I didn't even have the time to open the book.

Its been one week 3 days since I took the exam. Greg [the tutor] adviced us that it will take between 2 to 3 weeks to get the papers marked.

Reflections on the course: I totally enjoyed it 100%. What I noticed immediately was that 14 out of the 16 candidates were involved in project management one way or the other. I think, for me, this put me at a disadvantage as all the others who were familiar with the various terminology and processes were asking questions related to some stage ahead in the course.

Also, I thought, and still do, think that one week for the course is far to short a period to study for the Foundation and Practioner. Its absolutely too much information to get in.
