Afiniti and Metier Academy launches online PRINCE2® courses for UK project managers

100% e-learning means studying for PRINCE2 certification fits into a busy work life

In response to the growing need for flexible learning, Afiniti, a leading UK project management consultancy and training provider, today announced new online learning courses for people who want to study and pass their PRINCE2 Foundation or Practitioner Level certification at their own pace and time. The courses are available on www.afiniti.co.uk/prince2online

In a joint venture with Metier Academy International, the leading international project management training provider, Afiniti has added Metier Academy International online project management training to its portfolio, complementing its 15 years worth of experience in successfully delivering PRINCE2 classroom courses.

Project managers throughout the UK are constantly seeking a more effective way to obtain PRINCE2 certification and improve their project management skills while managing a busy workload.

Fully approved by the APM Group Ltd (APMG-UK), each e-learning course uniquely combines high quality content and innovative interactive learning, responding to this demand for better flexible learning products. Differing from other e-learning providers, Afiniti provides a qualified e-coach to help each student successfully prepare for their exam without needing to go into a classroom.

To ensure students are fully supported, each course comes with a personal coordinator who checks on a student’s progress and book their exam date. Mock exams and quizzes let students test themselves and become prepared for exam conditions. The e-coach answers queries and helps students through their course work. Students can interact in a dedicated chat room and forum run by Afiniti.

Ideally suited for people who want to fit their project management training into their busy working lives, the course is done completely online – only the exam has to be taken in a training centre. Students start learning immediately without downloading content or waiting for a CD-ROM to arrive in the post.

Chris Tanner, director of Afiniti commented, “As a lead trainer and director of Afiniti’s PRINCE2 courses I am delighted that the result of 15 years experience as an Accredited Training Organisation has been channelled into such a fantastic e-learning package providing students with a flexible approach to achieving their PRINCE2 certification.”

Tanner added: “Delegates can be assured that Afiniti have based the new courses on its winning training formula which delivers above average exam pass rates.”

The new courses start from £495 and are available now from Afiniti at: www.afiniti.co.uk/prince2online

Metier Academy International has a 30 year track record in corporate and individual project management education. These new individual PRINCE2 e-learning products take advantage of how Metier Academy International has developed and run personalised project management training for major corporate organisations worldwide.

Halvard Kilde, managing director, Metier Academy International said:

“Studying for PRINCE2 can be a real burden for working project managers who are juggling other priorities and find it hard to spare the time for class room learning. Our new e-learning courses mean you can study anytime, anywhere and at a pace that suits you. And there’s the reassurance that you’re studying with content and proven e-learning processes developed by project management education experts whose track record in helping students learn and apply PRINCE2 is high”

PRINCE2 is a process-based approach for project management providing an easily tailored and scalable method for the management of all types of projects. The method is the de-facto standard for project management in the UK and is practiced worldwide.
