Why PRINCE2TM?

By undergoing the certification process and achieving a PRINCE2TM qualification you will have demonstrated your knowledge of the PRINCE2TM method to a recognised examined standard. This is important as many employers now wish to recruit candidates with specific skills in PRINCE2TM and are aware of the PRINCE2TM qualifications and what they mean in terms of PRINCE2TM competency.

Opportunities post PRINCE2TM

For individual project managers certification is becoming increasingly recognised as not just a nice to have but essential to demonstrate skills to prospective employers. In November 2005 a search on three major job websites revealed over 1,600 opportunities that specifically mentioned requirement for PRINCE2TM.

For existing project managers PRINCE2TM certification provides a means to formalise knowledge and to adopt an approach based on industry best practice. PRINCE2TM does not intend to replace activities you currently undertake but instead provides a structure for thinking about what aspects of current practice could be improved.

For those looking to make a move into project management, PRINCE2TM provides an excellent place to start. Through its process led approach, PRINCE2TM specifies the steps necessary to successfully run a project. Alongside PRINCE2TM defines the role and responsibility of each member of the project team and describes techniques to support the planning and running of a project. This all contributes to give those, new to managing projects, a comprehensive understanding of the role.

Why are organisations choosing PRINCE2TM to manage their projects?

More and more organisations are adopting PRINCE2TM to manage their projects. There are a number of reasons why this is happening:

Increasingly organisations recognise the importance of consistency in management of projects. PRINCE2TM as an open standard provides a common set of terminology to allow discussion of projects in a uniform way.

Rather than developing an expensive and time consuming in-house method. Organisations can adopt PRINCE2TM quickly and easily. PRINCE2TM can be easily customised and further developed as necessary.
PRINCE2TM provides the benefit of historical experience on numerous projects in all manners of industries.

By adopting PRINCE2TM, organisations ensure that their project teams are all communicating in a common language, thereby reduce confusion and misunderstandings. Individuals new to a project or organisations can get involved straight away and make an immediate contribution as they know the processes and steps that the project will follow.

Target Audience

The course is suitable for any organisation from any industry or individual seeing the need for a controlled approach to managing its projects, including: Project/ Programme Managers, Project Support, Team Members from any discipline.The PRINCE2TM method is flexible and adaptable for any type and size of project. It offers an excellent management foundation for any member of staff; no prior Project Management knowledge is necessary. "PRINCE2TM ensures the delivery of our accountabilities; its structured approach meets or exceeds customer requirements and business demands", Pam Trott, Project Development Manager, Cable & Wireless.

How 'official' is this GAQM
They claim that certain certificates are level 7 UK by asiqual. Problem asiqual is not recognized by the official uk body (ofqual) so they write also " learning outcomes have been benchmarked against Ofqual’s Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF) " so just clear no official UK Level 7 qualification
On the sample certificate (http://www.gaqm.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/ASIQUAL_Validated_Award_EXAMPLE.pdf) is written "The course measurable learning outcomes have been benchmarked using Ofqual’s Qualification and Credit Framework level descriptors at Level 7 - 75 Credits This is a non - regulated course"
So you and I can also write a certificate with the same text without being 'on the wrong side of the law'. Effectively worth nothing.

The organization they claim to be accredited by (IAO -International Accreditation Organization) is also listed as a non-accepted organization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unrecognized_higher_education_accreditation_organizations and http://www.distancelearning.com/unrecognized-accrediting-agencies/)

On their website there is no real address or phone number. I have send an email to them got a response without a name, address or phone number in the email.
When you look here you find an address in India
http://www.training-classes.com/providers/01/12/11247_gaqm_-_global_association_for_quality_management.php
Head Office: Flat No 307, Sai Tirmala Towers, Hyderguda, Himayatnagar3rd Floor Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh India
Why if you are a respectable certification organization are you hiding your address? I know a lot of them and you can always find an address.

So am a bit sceptic to take any of their qualifications and put that on my CV

What is your experience here.
