Customer Review

The course offers a systematic approach to delivering successful content with clear templates, processes model, steps, and master project plan (project plans, stage plans, and team plans). During my study, I have understood that PRINCE2 is more methodological and practical than PMP which is more like project management standards.

The uCertify PRINCE2 course comes with learning resources such as flashcards, quizzes, and glossary terms. The course is full of interactive activities that helped meet stay engaged. The quiz questions that were embedded at the end of each chapter also helped me with a better understanding of each topic. I would highly recommend this course to everyone.

uCertify has provided a great knowledge base and structure to learn the material for the PRINCE2 certifications as well as the real world. If the coursework provided by uCertify is followed diligently one can be very well prepared for the exams. I have found that having the PRINCE2 knowledge base has allowed me to work in a PMO environment and made managing projects easier. A note though, no methodology or framework can guarantee success of a project, these provide a good grounding for project delivery.
