ABOUT WPM-Group

WPM Group Courses and Consultancy Services

WPM Group provides training and consultancy throughout the stages of bid, project and programme management. From Bid Management to risk assessment, risk management and proposal development we offer accredited training in each of the various stages. Full PRINCE2 training is essential for any project manager that currently uses or is looking to utilise the widely accepted PRINCE2 methodology. Whether you're an individual looking to further your career prospects or a business that requires project management tools and products, including Bid Management and risk management, WPM Group has the solution.

Project Management Training Courses

Project management requires a range of skills and an excellent level of knowledge. By using accurate and effective techniques it is possible to minimise financial and resource based risk while improving the flow of the project. Specifically, at WPM Group we offer PRINCE2 Training, because PRINCE2 is a well developed collection of best practice methods and strategies and is widely used in the government, private, and public sectors.

PRINCE2 Training

A range of PRINCE2 training courses can be booked on our website. We deliver PRINCE2 training for all aspects of the PRINCE2 methodology. PRINCE2 training will provide you with a substantial grounding in the highly revered project management methodology and stand you in good stead to becoming a fully qualified PRINCE2 Practitioner. We provide PRINCE2 training for Practitioner level, PRINCE2 training for Foundation level and PRINCE2 training for Conversion or Re-Registration levels.

In order to gain PRINCE2 Practitioner status you must pass the Practitioner exam and display that you understand the PRINCE2 theories and realise how best to put them into action. The PRINCE2 Practitioner exam requires delegates to show that they can apply the principles of PRINCE2 to a given scenario. On passing the Practitioner exam the delegate would become a Registered PRINCE2 Practitioner which needs to be re-registered on a 3-5 year cycle. The re-reg exam is 1 hour in length, which differs from the Practitioner exam which is 3 hours in length. The exam is multiple choice and uses the Blooms Taxonomy educational objectives. The pass mark for the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam is 180 or more out of a possible 360 marks.

PRINCE2 Training Qualifications

PRINCE2 training courses help to lay a strong basis in the components, processes and techniques used. No prior PRINCE2 training is necessary to embark on one of these courses, but those looking to achieve PRINCE2 Practitioner status via a 2 or 3 day Practitioner course should have first attended one of the Foundation courses. The PRINCE2 training Foundation exam requires the delegate to have an understanding of the PRINCE2 terminology in order to work in a PRINCE2 project environment. The Foundation exam is 1 hour in length and is multiple choice. The pass mark required for the Foundation exam is 38 or more out of a possible 75 marks.

WPM Group PRINCE2 Training Benefits

At WPM Group we are committed to provide the highest in examination pass rates and we consistently attain pass rates well above the national average. In particular, our 2 and 3 day conversion from Foundation to Practitioner courses have generated 100% pass rates thanks to exemplary PRINCE2 training techniques and highly qualified trainers.

PRINCE2 training is designed to assist project managers that already implement these techniques as well as those that wish to in the future. Governmental departments and organisations rely heavily on PRINCE2 techniques, as do many businesses and other organisations.

Risk Management

Risk management is a vital component to any business but especially to business to business service providers. Financial risk can be found in many forms and needs to be identified and measured in order that a business can respond to and control that risk. This process of Risk Management is employed by most companies with varying degrees of success but there are methods and techniques that assist in providing most effective risk management possible.

Management Of Risk (MoR) Courses

Foundation courses provide a good level of knowledge on the Risk Management techniques that will be more closely studied in the Management of Risk (MoR) Practitioner course. On successful completion of the Management of Risk Practitioner course, the successful candidate will be rewarded with the title of Management of Risk Practitioner. Managers and Support Staff needing a comprehensive practical understanding of various aspects of the management of risk and the key management documents that should be created, will benefit.

From Foundation To Practitioner Courses

WPM Group offers both a Foundation course and a Practitioner course in Risk Management. The Foundation course teaches some of the basics of MoR methodology and provides a starting block to go on and take the full Management of Risk MoR Practitioner course.

WPM Group Risk Management Benefits

They are ideal for anybody involved in the risk management process as well as those that wish to implement risk management into their own, or their team's processes.

Proposal And Bid Management

Proposal and Bid Management are vital aspects in progressing any business. All projects start with the formation of a proposal and bid. During this process, businesses often also implement risk management strategies in an attempt to provide the most accurate and least financially risky proposal and bid. Effective Bid Management and proposal writing can make all the difference, which is where APMP (Association of Proposal Management Professionals) courses come in.
