1. As consultants, we are passionate about Governanace and the benefits that a project management methodology like PRINCE2 and the other OGC based qualifications can bring.
2. We believe that ILX is very well placed to be able to meet this demand with its elearning, mixed mode and face to face learning options.

eLearning is becoming a method of choice for a number of Companies and individuals. It is very cost effective, staff get more time to complete their studies than a 5 day face to face course, and retention rates of information are high. Check out the options at http://www.ilxgroup.com

ILX Group plc, the best practice training company, today announced that it has won a major global contract to help KCA DEUTAG, a major international drilling contractor, to deliver project management training across 22 countries. ILX will host a secure e-learning platform to deliver both the APM Introductory Certificate in Project Management and PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner courses to remote geographic locations such as the arctic conditions in Siberia and Kazakhstan and offices based in the deserts of the Middle East and North Africa.

Amanda studied both the foundation and practioner using e-learning material from the ILX Group. 

Amanda commented that “The material was excellent and I found the practice exam questions very helpful.  E-learning is a great way of fitting study around work and family commitments.”

At Maxsys we believe in eating our own cooking, and given that we are exam invigilators for PRINCE2® exams for ILX /APMG it makes sense that we would use ILX e-learning material ourselves. 

Well done Amanda.

Maxsys is an exam invigilator for ILX.

The professional Programme and Project Sponsorship (PPS) qualification has been developed specifically for Senior Responsible Owners (SROs) and Sponsors or Executives of programmes and projects and it is really needed. It is all very well implementing a project management methodology within an organisation, but if your project sponsors do not understand where what their responsibilities are then you will have issues.

The course is ideal taken as an elearning course, as executives can undertake the study when it suits them and at their own pace. The course is designed to take approximately 6-8 study hours.

Here is a link to the PPS (Programme and Project Sponsorship) course material.

http://cf.ilxgroup.com/demos/ppsdemo/default.htm

The qualification is based on OGC Best Practice Guidance and combines leadership ability with PPM skills.

The PPS syllabus has been split into four separate units to offer flexible half-day training modules:
• The role of the sponsor
• The sponsor working with people
• Identifying and establishing a programme/project
• The delivery journey.

The syllabus is methodology independent and uses generic terms as far as possible. However, it is assumed that candidates are familiar with Office of Government Commerce (OGC) Best Practice Guidance. Candidates should also be, or aspire to become, Programme and Project Sponsors, also known as SROs/Project Executives. These are typically at management or senior level in their organisations who often have responsibility for several programmes or projects.

What do SROs and Project Sponsors in the real world think about the need for training?

According to ILX, 83% of SROs polled believed that training in how to understand the role of the SRO; programme management language; and how to lead in a programme environment, would all have been useful when they first took on the role, according to a survey conducted by Moorhouse Consultancy.

The ILX Programme and Project Sponsorship e-learning course can be delivered via:

• CD – delegates can study anywhere, anytime, without the need for Internet access
• Corporate network – staff access the course on a shared network drive
• Intranet – staff access the e-learning course as a link on your Intranet
• Hosted Internet – ILX host the course so delegates can study anywhere at any time

ILX have launched a NZ order page for PRINCE2, ITIL, MSP, and Introduction to Project Management courses.

e-Learning is the first choice for training for ILX Group clients in Oceania as it can be deployed internationally, across multiple sites.

Maxsys facilitates exams in NZ, along with another ILX partner in Auckland.  We see this training as an essential element in upskilling New Zealanders in project management methodology. Prince2 and ITIL are widely used in Government and non Government organisations worldwide, with more and more implementing the methodologies all of the time.
