I haven’t written on here for a few days, including the weekend, and the age old excuse popped into my mind when I was thinking about it, I don’t seem to have enough time to do everything I want to do. We’ve all said it at some time, and meant it many of those times, but Read More

What Certifications Are Worth Sharing?
As I was hoping yesterday, I have today completed the BPMN course and it turns out that Udemy certificates just ping straight into your inbox when you finish the final video (in this course anyway!). With that question answered, I started wondering about certifications and which ones are going to add the most value to my Read More
BPMN 2.0 And Cawemo
Yesterday I talked about the Udemy course I began to learn how to use BPMN to produce workflow diagrams. Since I have the time off work, I have much more free time than I really know what to do with, which means I have powered through that course a bit and am almost through with it. Read More
Udemy On Sale (Again)
The learning site, Udemy, is never far from some sort of sales promotion. Every time I want to learn a course on there, if they aren’t on sale at the time I just put the course into my cart and wait a few days or weeks, it’s usually on sale by the time I go back. Read More
Free Weekend On Pluralsight!
Pluralsight has a free weekend coming up and if you don’t yet have an account there, I strongly urge you to at least take advantage of the upcoming free weekend. There is so much great content available there that I am not going to write anything else today! Put it in your calendars and make use Read More
Real World Applications of PRINCE2 Concepts
Sometimes when we are studying something, one of the questions that occurs to us is when am I going to use the thing I am learning in the real world? To be fair, we most often wonder this in standard education, like school or university, once you move into the business world you are more likely Read More
Excitement About The Next Step
Now that I have refocused on where I need to be looking, I am once again excited about the progress I am making. In my last post I mentioned an Excel Analytics course containing some of the skills I need to develop, which is on Pluralsight where I already have a subscription thanks to the PRINCE2 Read More
Why We Shouldn’t Fear Exams
As described in an earlier post, I took my PRINCE2 Foundation exam today and passed! I took multiple practice tests and tried out two different courses to prepare myself. I ended up with an achievement of 68%, with a pass being 55% and above. From the practice tests, I was sure I could score in the Read More
PRINCE2 Exam Day!
The day has finally arrived and I am about 70% confident that I am ready to pass the exam. If you asked me if I was ready to achieve top marks, I would certainly say no, I don’t know everything I need to know to get top marks. I strongly believe that I know enough to Read More
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3…
I’ve barely begun the third part of my PRINCE2 course on Pluralsight and I’m already itching to find out how far I’ve progressed. I’m going to partially blame Barbara Oakley’s Learning How To Learn course for this, as she describes testing as one of the best ways to learn. Unfortunately, Pluralsight doesn’t follow the format of Read More
