I suggest that you read this book a few times or listen to the podcast version. If you wish to test your knowledge, then try some of the questions in the next section, “Learn Thru Questions”. This is also available as a podcast. You could also try to fill in the exercise sheets.

4. Learn Thru Questions

   1. Introduction

Welcome to this Learn the PRINCE2 Process Model Thru Questions section of the course. It provides questions and answers on the PRINCE2 Process Model and you can find all of the answers in the above text.

This is a good way to check your knowledge of the PRINCE2 Process Model. In fact, if you have a good understanding of the PRINCE2 process model, you can easily follow a 2-day Foundation classroom training instead of a 3-day training, which should be about 30% cheaper. See our website for a list of companies that offer a 2-day foundation course.

We offer this “PRINCE2 Process Model” course in a number of formats and you can get them from the website. The other formats are:

• The podcast

• The Learn Thru Questions podcast, and

• The computer based training format or CBT

If you have any questions, you can contact me at frank.turley@MgmtPlaza.com

2. About Learn Thru Questions

We use the Learn Thru Questions technique in our training because it is the best way to (a) check your knowledge, (b) get ready for a PRINCE2 exam, and (3) learn at the same time.

The Learn Thru Questions approach asks questions, allows you to click “Pause”, so you can think about the answer, and then click “Play” to listen to the answer and compare it with yours. Depending on the question, we also provide additional information to explain the answer. This ensures that you continue to learn while using the Learn Thru Questions technique.

Most people who are familiar with podcast training or who want to see practice questions to prepare for exams find our Learn Thru Questions approach a great way to do this.

Suggestion: We recommend that you have a color copy of the Process Model Diagram with you when you listen to or read these questions for the first time, as many of the answers can be seen in the Process Model Diagram.

So enjoy this Learn Thru Questions approach.
