World Exclusive
Firebrand is the only training provider in the world to offer both the Foundation and Practitioner certifications in just three days. This includes sitting both exams.
There's not much that you can achieve in three days. You could walk the entire length of the Thames, or maybe count to 1,000,000 (we worked them both out). Or you could set yourself on your way to a £50,000 salary, as reported by IT Jobs Watch.
We have now certified more than 1,500 students on our PRINCE2 training course. We've listened to their feedback, and this has helped us develop this three-day course. We were challenged to make the course more 'Firebrand-like' (super fast), while maintaining all of the curriculum content from the five-day course.
The real-world case studies remain woven throughout the entire course, and we have been able to remove some exercises that were not needed in the latest curriculum. Fear not, our exclusive lecture, lab, review process remains, to ensure that you can learn everything required 40% faster than anywhere else. You will gain two whole days to spend on more work or family time!
Tried and tested
Before the PRINCE2 training course was launched, we ran a beta version. During this period we had a pass rate of 88% and a student feedback score of 91%.
Officially Accredited by APMG
When officially accrediting the course, Richard Pharro, CEO of APMG, said this:
“APMG recognises the importance of training organisations continually innovating their offering to meet the changing needs of delegates. It is encouraging to see Firebrand Training has found a way to deliver the Foundation and Practitioner certification in just three days, whilst maintaining the same high quality.”

- Intensive group instruction
- One-on-one instruction attention
- Hands-on labs
- Lab partner and group exercises
- Question and answer drills
- Independent study

Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.

Many tasks are designed to help delegates ‘link’ the four integrated elements of PRINCE2®; “principles”, “processes”, “themes” and “tailoring”.
