Trainer Profile
All AFA PRINCE2 trainers have undergone the rigorous approvals process administered by the APM Group on behalf of the UK Cabinet Office. They are practising project managers with considerable experience in a wide range of industry sectors. The use of hybrid trainer-managers is of great benefit to delegates and ensures that illustration and anecdotes have up-to-date validity and that the training given, whilst being true to the syllabus is also pragmatic.
Location & Duration
AFA open courses are held at approximately fortnightly intervals at a range of venues across the UK. All venues have been chosen for their modern equipment and ease of access from major road, rail and air routes. Alternatively client events can be arranged on-site or at a suitable venue nearby.
