Made a dry subject interesting

The Tutor was very nice and made great efforts to make the training entertaining. I think we could have made a bit more time for exam prep (review, structured recaps, mock exams, etc...) and the tutor could have involved us a bit more in coming up with ideas and examples. There were soe discussions but often the tutor let the discussion carry on and he could have facilitated the discussions a bit more towards producing a structured recap of the the key points for each specific areas. Overall the content was good but could have done with a bit more structure.

My personal view of the course overall was a positive one. There is a huge amount of work to get through in limited time which was a little overwhelming at first thought. The refreshments were great and there was no need to go outside for lunch. We had breaks in the morning and afternoon but I have to be honest the afternoons were long and we were finishing up at around 5.15 so by this time I was exhausted. The trainer was good and very knowledgeable, the only feedback I would suggest giving is to spend a less time on giving personal experiences as examples as for me personally this did not help me remember anything in my test and I did tend to 'zone out' whilst listening to these.

The course was run well and the trainer was very good and engaging in explaining content. The pre-course material could be improved - it referenced a document that wasn't provided but is available online but no indication of that was provided.

The tutor was very knowledgeable, which is always a distinct advantage as it allows them to put more complicated subjects into various contexts to allow better understanding. Venue was adequate, not amazing, but adequate. Would recommend.

car parking was limited at the venue and we were moved into different rooms everyday

I think that the training that was provided was comprehensive however when we received the exam paper it was difficult to relate what we had been taught to what was asked.

I enjoyed the course and learned a lot. I would have appreciated getting the materials earlier so I could have read more before the course as I find I retain more if I can do a bit of pre-reading. (NB The manual only arrived a week before the course took place even though it was booked well in advance.) My suggestion for improvement would be that if there was time doing a timed I hour session under exam conditions of half of a practice paper might have been useful practice for the exam.

This is a very dry subject, and for a non-IT person it was a bit daunting. Not my favourite thing ever, but the teaching clearly worked because I passed with flying colours. Thank you :o)

It would have helped if the workbook was structured in a manner similar to the cheatsheet.

Overall the training was good and I did find it useful to gain an understanding of the Prince 2 Framework. The trainer was obviously very knowledgeable about the material but could have been a little more patient with us as a group of learners and at times seemed dismissive of our questions or condescending. The one thing that I felt was missing from the course was the enthusiasm behind Project Management. I appreciate that the course is designed to impart the complex foundations of Prince 2 however, as someone who works in Project Management I know how interesting and dynamic projects can be and I don't know if that that came across. Having said that I did enjoy the course, am happy that I have a Prince 2 qualification and would encourage others to get trained in Prince 2.

The training was good and I felt as though I had a good grasp on the subject scoring high on the test papers. Unfortunately when it came to the exam the questions were worded very differently, the vast majority of the questions didn't make sense and it felt as though we had been trained at a different level. The only way I felt I would have been able to answer all the questions in the exam would have been if I had memorised the entire workbook word for word. That said, even the trainer said he struggled to understand what the exam questions were saying so what hope did we have? Came out of there feeling as though I had wasted 3 days :-(

I'm sorry that you found the exam was not at the level you expected. Unfortunately Best Practice Training do not set the exams as these are owned by the official accreditor AXELOS Ltd. AXELOS also provide us with the sample exam papers we use in our training courses and these are meant to be aligned to the live exams. There are examination feedback forms supplied with the exam packs which we would normally suggest delegates complete if they have issues with the exam and reviews.co.uk is meant to be primarily feedback relating to how we conduct the training. We will however feedback your concerns to AXELOS and we will look at what we can do to better prepare delegates for the exam. We aim to deliver our courses to teach the topic rather than as exam coaching and typically this technique leads to a greater depth of understanding which enables delegates to do well in the exam. David your tutor is a very experienced service management expert and we'd hope that you would have learned a lot despite your exam concerns. Please get in touch directly if there is anything we can do to improve the situation and help you achieve value from the training. Regards, Richard
