Lesson 01: About this course
- 00:05 - Hi, and welcome
- 00:07 - Welcome to this Prince2 Foundation Course
- 00:10 - My name is Frank Turley and I’m going to be your PRINCE2 trainer for this course
- 00:17 - Now PRINCE2 actually contains a lot of content
- 00:21 - And to go through this content from A to Z is going to make it very hard on you to absorb
- 00:28 - So, we’re not going to do that
- 00:30 - Instead, we’re going to use three iterations and gradually lower you in to PRINCE2
- 00:37 - And the first iteration is a very hi … from a very high level
- 00:42 - And we give you an overall understanding of PRINCE2 and what PRINCE2 is all about
- 00:48 - Then we will use that understanding, add on more information to give you a more solid foundation
- 00:55 - And that’s what we’ll do in level 2
- 00:57 - And then in level 3, we actually go through then all the details of PRINCE2
- 01:04 - So, by the end of the third iteration, you will have a very, very good understanding of PRINCE2
- 01:09 - And you’d have gone over many of the concepts multiple times
- 01:14 - So, your knowledge and your confidence really, really … will be very good
- 01:19 - Now when taking the course, just relax
- 01:22 - Don’t worry about the learning process
- 01:25 - Just enjoy the course and leave the rest up to me
- 01:29 - And don’t rush the course because if you rush the course
- 01:34 - That’s not really good for your brain
- 01:36 - Your brain needs time to absorb the information
- 01:39 - So, it’s a very good idea to put aside let’s say 20 to 30 minutes a day
- 01:44 - And to do this continuously and if you do that
- 01:48 - The learning process will work much better. Okay?
- 01:51 - So, in other words, follow the words slowly and continuously
- 01:58 - Now when also taking the course, do not worry about the exam
- 02:03 - As I said before, it’s my responsibility that you understand PRINCE2 and that you pass the exam
- 02:10 - And from the thousands of people who have taken our PRINCE2 online training
- 02:15 - Very, very few have failed the exam
- 02:17 - And those who actually failed
- 02:19 - Well, just ran through the course very quickly or did not even complete the course at all
- 02:27 - If going through the course you have some questions
- 02:29 - You can write those questions down
- 02:32 - And you’re going to find that the majority of those questions are actually answered
- 02:36 - In the next or the next or the next video
- 02:39 - However, if you have still outstanding questions at the end or you misunderstand something
- 02:44 - Or you don’t a good grasp of something
- 02:46 - You can actually use the coaching button and reach out to me
- 02:50 - And I personally look through all of these questions
- 02:54 - So, I will get back to you
- 02:57 - If you have a technical question, let’s say, about the exam or booking the exam or working with PeopleCert
- 03:03 - Then you can actually contact our support desk because that’s our 24/7 support desk
- 03:08 - So you can use the chat or you can use email to contact them
- 03:12 - And they will give you the answers
- 03:15 - They do this all the time, so the information is also very much up-to-date
- 03:23 - There’s one more thing that you need, though
- 03:25 - To pass the exam or to be confident about passing the exam
- 03:29 - And that’s to be familiar with the style and the approach of the questions
- 03:35 - So, that is why we have created a very good exam simulator for you
- 03:40 - And this creates special exams based on a large pool of questions
- 03:45 - So, it gives you good practice for taking the exam
- 03:48 - And then you can see how you did in the exam and if you got a question wrong
- 03:53 - It actually gives you good feedback so you keep learning as well
- 03:57 - There’s also a coaching button there
- 04:00 - So if you still are not happy with the comment that I gave, you can actually reach out to me
- 04:05 - And I’m happy to give you more feedback
- 04:08 - So, the exam simulator will really make you confident about taking the exam
- 04:13 - Just remember, do not use the exam simulator too quick
- 04:18 - It’s best to follow the complete course first and then use the exam simulator
- 04:23 - So, that’s it for the introduction
- 04:26 - Enjoy the course, I know you will
- 04:29 - And I know you’ll pass the exam
