    PRINCE2 - try to get on the Foundation and Practitioner course combined. Should be a week.

              You could always try spending ten years as Chancellor, not sure how successful this "training" has been, though.
              Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad.

                The Practitioner is apparently quite tough...but the Foundation is sooooo easy.

                  The Practitioner is tough enough but if you've worked inside a project before you should get through. The thing to rmember is that this won't make you a project manager, but if you have project management experience it is useful and does give you an edge if you're going for PM jobs.

                    Agreed.

                    I have gotten interviews/work partly because I have 'Registered PRINCE2 Practitioner' on my CV. Start the contract and the client doesn't use PRINCE2 - they just want to hire someone who knows about managing projects and they think PRINCE2 means that. It doesn't.
