The start of a new year is always a good time to think about where you should focus your upskilling efforts in the months ahead. For some, their time will best be spent learning the ins and outs of information security. For others, an introduction to ITIL is an excellent launching point.
For those needing to take charge of projects, however, PRINCE2 training from ALC is one of the best options. Let's take a look at why it's a good idea to start thinking about this framework and where you can get started with a course.

Why PRINCE2?
At its core, PRINCE2 is designed to give people the skills required to confidently manage projects. However, PRINCE2 isn't just useful to one particular field.
This is a framework that's applicable to any project within any industry. What's more, courses teach common systems, language and procedures. Project managers who have taken the time to undergo PRINCE2 training will certainly find they make fewer mistakes, ensuring projects run more smoothly and it's a less daunting task to actually manage a project from beginning to end.
