5 Reasons why Project Managers should consider E–learning

E-learning is an interactive way to gain your qualifications. Cupe Projects have recently launched their fully accredited and certified solution for the PRINCE2® qualification. This Course is designed for;

• Project Managers
• General Managers
• Project Support
• Team Managers
• Support staff
• Programme Managers

There are number of benefits to online study that are really worth considering when you’re choosing between a traditional classroom based Project Management course:
1) Time
Many project managers find it hard to get time away from work to go on courses, especially as some courses last a whole week. This is especially the case with contractors, where missing a days work can result in a loss of income.
E-learning is a great way to learn in your own time, either after work or over the weekend. Time spent travelling to venues can also be reduced.
E-learning also allows the course to be broken down in to smaller lessons.
2) Cost
E-learning is cheaper than equivalent venue courses. Most course venues drive the price of PM qualifications higher because of the rented space, tutor fees and refreshments available.
E-learning also has the potential to save on exam fees. The candidate can specify when they are ready to take the exam rather than the pre-booked exam slot at the venue. (exams to be booked within 1 year)
E-learning can help an individual or organisation reduce the costs associated with travel and hotel expenditure.
3) Convenience
E-learning can be done anywhere you have use of a laptop or PC. You are not required to attend lessons or modules on a set date or time slot. We all face new challenges that take priority over our learning; E-learning is a perfect learning ‘risk strategy’.
4) Pace
E-learning can be done at a suitable pace to suite the learner. With venue courses candidates can find topics tricky and wish for a lot more training than time allows. E-learning gives the user the ability to test and re-learn any weak subject areas.
5) Improving C.V
PRINCE2® E-learning can improve the chances of the user getting a new job or contract work, upon completion. Whether you are a contractor, looking for a new career or wish to up skill for a promotion PRINCE2® E-learning would be an excellent qualification to add.
