PRINCE2 Study Guide 1st Edition

Hello, I passed the PRINCE2 Foundation exam and became certified thanks to this book by David Hinde and the PRINCE2 Foundation course by GreyCampus on Udemy's website.I first took the Udemy course, watching about 30 minutes per day. Then I read this book. I read about a half a chapter a night over the course of a few weeks and took the quizzes at the end of each chapter. Then I took the full practice test. I returned to the Udemy course, letting it play in the background while I did other things at work and at home. That let the information sink in. From start to finish, it was a three and a half month process. Obviously, I took my time. I generally do with certification exams because I want to pass on the first try. Others knock it out in a week or two.Between the course, the book, and the quizzes, I felt pretty confident I would pass the foundation exam. And I did.Since the Practitioner material is also covered in the book and the course, I plan to take that certification exam as well. But I’m not as confident as it goes deeper than Foundation. I’m going to purchase the official PRINCE2 Manual since test takers are allowed to use that book during the exam.

While you'll need the official AXELOS manual to take the Practitioner exam, this guide made all of the difference in preparing me to pass the Practitioner exam. It really helps bring the material to life, providing a ton of real world examples. The writing style is easy to read, unlike the official manual, and the digital flashcards that come with the book are wonderful! The bonus practice exams and questions at the end of each chapter really helped me get into the mindset of how the concepts are being applied in the exams. Cannot recommend this book enough!

I liked the overall content. I have to retake the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam to stay current and need to score over 85% as an instructor. David has done a good job explaining the how & why details of using PRINCE2. The biggest challenge is understanding the project manager simply coordinates and reports to the project board. The project board holds all the authority. Why this is standard "product-based" management to some the concept is new to junior members of the project team.

I picked up this title following the purchase of the official manual and passing the Prince2 exams title. Between them it was all the study I needed for both exams, following up with some practice exams at the APGM site.The study guide presents the information in a different format and level of detail to the manual which gave me a strong grasp of concepts, some of which I hadn't picked up on in the first read through of the manual. It also provides guidance on how to prepare and manage yourself during the exam. It boosted my confidence and I'd highly recommend anyone studying for the exams picks this up at to supplement their learning.

Instructions on how to use online resources of the book are simple and the contents are easy to understand to help you prepare for Prince2 certification or as reference when you already have one. Exams on the book and online are good addition. If I had this book sooner, I would not enroll to online class.

This is an exceptionally good guide. I am using it to teach my students along with the official book.Syed Hussain

This book is so much easier to understand than the official Prince2 Manual. It gives good examples that you can relate too and some hints on how to use the official manual. It covers everything in great detail so your not missing out on anything. I find myself turning to this now when I am stuck on a question and think I might actually stand a chance of passing the exams with the help of this book. My only criticism is that the additional tools are no good if you have an apple mac. Maybe the author needs to upgrade them.

A bit too detail.Only for those who need to understand more on Prince2 practices.It has lots of diagram that good in bringing you to understand the process flow to Tailor your project.

Excellent explanation of PRINCE2

Online tests are useful

Really helped me a lot to become PRINCE2 Practitioner certified.With this book you won't need to take an expensive course. Made me save a couple of thousand €uros.Concepts are easy to understand even for ESL readers.I strongly recommend.

Great book, with a good bank of training questions. This is the only book you need to pass the PRINCE2 exam at your first attemp.

Good book
