Benefits of PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Certification Training

Benefits of PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner Certification Training

There are several benefits for the PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Certification Training. Some of these are obvious while others are not. In many cases, they are an employer’s requirement. In this article, we have listed the top ten benefits of taking the PRINCE2 Certification:

  • Improving your project management skills

The most obvious benefit of getting the PRINCE2 qualification is an improved project management skillset. When a professional goes through the PRINCE2 training, they are well-equipped for deploying and developing a project matter. During the training, you will be learning about the terminology, framework, methodology, procedures, and common systems that are used by project managers across the globe. When you have efficient project management skills, you will be able to plan, start, manage, execute, and monitor projects successfully. PRINCE2 professionals follow an alternative methodology for PMP. Having knowledge of PMP as well as PRINCE2 allows them to be more flexible and versatile.

  • PRINCE2 is a methodology, not an instruction manual

Unlike certifications like PMP, PRINCE2 is more focused on the set of Project Management principles than following an instruction book that is full of rigid rules. It is a technical reference guide explaining all the stages and process of a project along with the associated roles and responsibilities. It won’t be telling you how you should be micromanaging your tasks in the project. It can help you understand the principles and processes and how you can manage them. When you have an in-depth understanding of the PRINCE2, you will be able to tailor the processes to suit your needs and oversee all the projects effectively.

  • You will be able to start easy

While selecting a certification, there are several important factors you need to consider including the costs involved, the time required to study, and the disruption it will cause in your professional life. With PRINCE2, you have the advantage of starting off with the PRINCE2 Foundation exam only. This means that you don’t have to commit a high cost and a huge amount of training for getting a real project management certification. Also, during the PRINCE2 Foundation training, you will be given a complete overview of what you should expect if you decide to continue the qualification with PRINCE2 Practitioner certification. PRINCE2 Foundation certification makes launching a career in project management significantly easier.

  • You will get your certificate sooner than with most exams

As soon as you complete your training, you can take a public exam or with your training provider. There is no complicated, time-consuming registration process. Also, there is no audit process for your application like the PMP exam. So, you will be able to get your certification much earlier.

  • PRINCE2 Certified Professionals can earn a handsome package.

PRINCE2 certified project managers are some of the highest-paid IT professionals. On average, the annual salary of project managers can be $85,800.

  • PRINCE2 is a globally recognized certification

PRINCE2 qualification is globally recognized. It was developed under the UK government supervision in the public IT sector. Today, it has become the standard methodology for project management across the globe. Public, government, and private organizations all over the world have started implementing the methodology. Its popularity has continued to grow globally, including in Asia, USA, and Africa.

In 2009, AXELOS Ltd. the body with the rights to the PRINCE2 qualification, issued a white paper named “Using PRINCE2™ to Manage US Federal Government IT Projects’ ‘ for supporting the demand of PRINCE2 in US organizations. So, when you have this certification, you also have the option of taking work internationally.

  • The PRINCE2 Project Management works with many organizations

Unlike some project management certifications, the role of a project manager in PRINCE2 is not the highest and most important. PRINCE2 has clearly defined roles and responsibilities shared by professionals in the project organization. So, even though the Project Manager plays a key role in the success or failure of the project, he is not the only one responsible if things don’t go exactly as planned in a PRINCE2 project.

The roles and responsibilities shared in a PRINCE2 project support the success and reduce the chances of failure.

  • With PRINCE2 qualification, you won’t be bound to a single industry

PRINCE2 is a methodology for project management. This means that it is not tied to a specific organization or industry type. It can be used in projects of any scale, in any form of organization and industry. So, getting the PRINCE2 certification will allow you to expand the areas where you can work.

  • Everyone will be able to see the proof of your skills

With PRINCE2 certification, demonstrating the proof of your knowledge and skills will be very easy. All certification holders can be found in the official successful candidate register of PRINCE2 provided by the certification body APMG international. Anybody can check the register online. For example, during a job application process, you won’t have to send in copies of your PRINCE2 certificate. The online register will confirm that you have completed the exam successfully along with the date of the exam. All that is needed is your name and candidate number. If you want an employer or potential employer to see your PRINCE2 qualification, you can just send them your candidate number along with the link.

  • PRINCE2 certification can make it cheaper and easier to get other qualifications

PRINCE2 is an independent project management certification. But once you have it, you might be eligible for exemptions while studying for other certifications for project management.

Today, PRINCE2 certifications are considered necessary for the role of a project manager by several established companies. Candidates with the certification will be given preference over their non-certified counterparts. PRINCE2 is a globally recognized certification that will surely add an advantage to your CV.

Iranian Village Comes to Be Known as “Litter-Free Village” Nationwide

Iranian Village Comes to Be Known as “Litter-Free Village” Nationwide 3

Everywhere is clean here. There is no litter even within kilometres outside the village. Dustbins have remained empty for so long that villagers have collected them all. No trucks come in at night to collect garbage. Probably, it is a common scene for city-dwellers to see dustbins full of trash and streets scattered with litter every day despite efforts by relevant authorities to keep the city clean. Accordingly, it would be a bit far-fetched to imagine a litter-free village in the heart of one of deprived provinces.Iranian Village Comes to Be Known as “Litter-Free Village” Nationwide 2

Nevertheless, it is a reality that the litter-free Kohankahoor village exists in the central part of the town of Mehrestan in southeastern Iranian province of Sistan-Baluchestan. Locals have not been waiting for the rural municipality, state budget or other assistance to take out garbage and make their village clean; rather, they have rolled up their sleeves themselves and, as a result, their village has been introduced as the only litter-free village.

“Since long ago, residents of this village have been teaching their children not to throw litter on the ground, and this has been institutionalized among them,” says Mohammad Rafi Dehvari, the governor of Mehrestan town.

“Government institutions have not done much in this regard and everything is on the shoulders of people themselves,” he adds.Iranian Village Comes to Be Known as “Litter-Free Village” Nationwide 1

“In fact, the villagers were mentally prepared for this, and what we did was only to guide them and teach them certain work such as hygienic ways of burying garbage,” he says.
The governor says Kohankoor is the only litter-free village in the province and probably in the entire country.

“So clean is the village that we can even claim whoever finds litter in this village, he or she will be awarded!” he adds.

40 Other Villages to Become Litter-Free

The governor explains about the methods of dumping and eliminating garbage.

“What we have done is to teach families how to sort their waste, and, hence, all families sort their garbage items before they are buried,” he says.Iranian Village Comes to Be Known as “Litter-Free Village” Nationwide 4

“Even 50% of this garbage such as fruit, vegetable and food leftovers are recycled and used to feed cattle,” he adds.

“A rubbish dump has been made outside the village in cooperation with the rural municipality and locals, and villagers themselves take their waste, after sorting them, to this place to be burned or buried,” he notes.

“What is interesting is that we have no garbage trucks or workers to collect waste, and the whole thing is done by villagers themselves,” says the governor.

“Villagers themselves sort, collect and bury waste, and, to put it in a nutshell, they won’t wait for a state institution to come help make their village clean,” he says.

All 110 families living in the village try to keep their environment clean. There is no litter even within a radius of 1 to 2 kilometres of the village. Even if, supposedly, the wind brings litter, people have committed themselves to collecting it as soon as possible.

Villagers’ sense of responsibility is not related to the issue of waste collection only, but applies to all other aspects of their lives as well. As a case in point, they dry palm tree branches and collect them in a place they have already specified, so that the branches won’t make the village dirty. Locals even store fodder for their cattle in a separate place.Iranian Village Comes to Be Known as “Litter-Free Village” Nationwide 5

Most of the villagers are engaged in farming or breed livestock. However, even take great care with regards to collecting cattle excrement and fodder, so one can find no trace of agricultural waste and livestock faeces in village homes and alleys.

The governor describes this village as eh best of its kind in Iran.

“Forty other villages in the province have also been designated to become trash-free villages, and we are trying to lead all villagers onto a path where they themselves keep their living environment clean,” he says.

“There no such thing as the Internet here, and we have been able to promote this culture al across the country,” he notes.

“Recently, with the help and efforts of the Mehrestan governor, the name Kohankoor has become known as the ‘garbage-free village’ in the country,” say officials.

Iran President Rules Out Cancellation of Mourning Ceremonies over Pandemic

President Hassan Rouhani said mourners are required to observe social distancing measures and wear masks, and not to gather in a place in large numbers.

“Given the precise planning made, mourning ceremonies should be held in such a way that not only will they not turn into an excuse for adversaries, but they will become a model for other countries and Shiites that hold mourning ceremonies for Imam Hussein,” he said.

Rouhani said no one can drive a wedge between our religion and science, expressing hope mourning ceremonies during the holy month of Muharram this year will be coupled with respect for health protocols.

The president further said the concepts of “life and bread” as well as “mourning and health” are not mutually exclusive; rather, “they both should go hand in hand while health protocols are observed.”

President Rouhani noted mourning ceremonies should be held, and, at the same time, health measures should be enforced to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

“Monitors should deal with violations of health protocols,” he underlined.

Iran's Nature in Photos Dargah Sangi International Wetland 8

Dargah Sangi is one of the seven wetlands of Sulduz plain in the south-western part of Lake Urmia.

The wetland was on the verge of extinction, but it was revived thanks to the abundant rainfalls of the past two years, as well as the release of the water accumulated behind the region’s dams.

Now birds such as coots, black winged stilts, ducks and terns have returned to the area, bringing back a freshness which was missing for a long time.

What follows are Mizan News Agency’s photos of Dargah Sangi wetland in north-western Iran:

 

Iran Says Won’t Retaliate in Kind for US’ Harassment of Passenger Plane

Mohsen Baharvand said on Saturday the US act was an unlawful move, and retaliation in kind is not necessarily the response to such an act.

“Two bad moves will not necessarily lead to a good result,” said Baharvand, the deputy Iranian foreign minister for legal and international affairs, in an interview with Etemad newspaper.

“If the US military has committed such an act against a civilian airplane, the Iranian Armed Forces will not endanger the lives of innocent individuals simply because of Washington’s unlawful act,” he said.

“While being brave and sturdy, our armed forces abide by professional, ethical and human principles, and this is the difference between us and powers which try to settle all their issues through bullying,” he noted.

“Their main support base is material power devoid of morality,” said the top official.
He said the harassment of a passenger plane is an unlawful act and runs counter to international regulations.

“No one has the right to jeopardize the safety of airplanes of a country intentionally,” he said, adding, “The United States’ militarism has put international peace and security in danger.”

“It is no honour for a modern jet fighter to harass and imperil the safety of a defenceless civilian plane carrying defenceless men, women and children as passengers,” he said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he touched upon the illegal presence of the US military in Syria.

“This incident happened in the skies over Syria, which, itself, is one of the victims of the US militarism,” he said.

“Basically, the presence of American aircraft in that area is an illegal act and seen as a violation of the UN Charter,” he said.
