Do you have a PRINCE2® book that your eLearning is based on?

Yeap. There is only one Official AXELOS PRINCE2 Guidance “Managing Successful Projects”

We are investigating online versions of this which are likely to go on sale in new year. Fingers Crossed

Do I actually need a PRINCE2 book to pass the exams?

PRINCE2® Foundation Course – Our Foundation Course is so so so in depth and of such high quality the learner can pass the exams (in-house or AXELOS) without a manual /book.

PRINCE2® Practitioner Course – The learner would benefit from the purchase of a Manual as this can be used during the AXELOS PRINCE2 Practitioner Examination.

How many hours of video content is it?

PRINCE2® Foundation Course – is 12 hours of learning Videos and with dedication the course can be done in a couple of days. Faster than a classroom course.

PRINCE2® Practitioner Course – is 5 hours of learning Videos and with dedication you can be ready to sit the AXELOS exam  within a one elapsed day.

So it is possible to get Foundation & Practitioner in-house /AXELOS certification within a week ?

Is it possible to get a back-up CD of the training videos?

Nope CD’s went out with records in the 80s. After the 180 days you can if you want renew for a small fee inline with the price you orginally paid. However, also long as you have the PRINCE2 Manual (guidance) you will never need to refer back to the course after passing the exams.
