A Few Figures
- Our key staff have been in project management since 1997, and deliver project management training since 1999
- The largest project they managed so far was worth over 2 mil. EUR and took almost two years (and yes, it was a success – failure was not an option anyway)
- We ran our first training according to the 5th edition of PRINCE2 already on 6.7.2009 (i.e. the global launch date of training according to PRINCE2 5th edition set by the PRINCE2 accreditation & certification body) and we delivered PRINCE2 courses according the newest 6th edition since its launch in 2017 until the end of 2023.
- In 2023 we started replacing project & service management products, whose total cost of ownership raised significantly and which did not provide adequate value for money anymore, with free to use products like P3.express, DPMM and ITSM.express with certificates valid for life.
- We have delivered over 900 courses, seminars, lectures & workshops to in total well over 4500 people.
