Why should I study PRINCE2?
To Gain First Class Project Management Skills
PRINCE2 is the de facto project management standard. It provides the skills to make you confident about successfully managing projects.

3 Reasons Project Assurance is Vital to Success
Assurance is when the project board objectively assesses a project’s performance. This assessment considers whether users’ requirements are being met, and if the project’s intended benefits outweigh its costs. In spite of this, project assurance remains an underutilised aspect of PRINCE2.
