    I am currently out of work but have been working as a business analyst at a very basic level. i am looking at doing some training to make myself more marketable. the two options i have been looking at are the PRince 2 course with sureskills for approx 1500 and the Cert in Business analysis from NCIRL for 3400 . The prince 2 is a five day course whilst the NCIRL is 2 days a month over 6 months. just wondering if anyone has done either of these? or if anyone has any advice as to which may prove to be more beneficial.

    MAny thanks.

    They're very different, Prince2 relates to Project Management. I've completed training in Prince2 to Practitioner level, it is fairly straight forward. I suppose it depends on the types of roles you want to go for. PMP is another project management methodology worth looking into. Or perhaps you could consider Service Management ITIL, seems to be work in that area - Sure skills offer training in that area - not cheap though if you do all modules.

    Just a quick one if you don't mind.... I was looking at rereading firstly in IT, but it was recommended to me last seek to go for project management over IT.....

    Is there much work around, and is it easy enough to get work once you have completed your cert? Also what kind of salary could I expect.... If you Prefer to private message me rather than reply top this post I would really appreciate it.....

    cheers, DD
