An overview of training with CC Learning

I am delivering a PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner in Brisbane this week and I have other trainers delivering in Auckland, Wellington and other cities around the world.

It is quite amazing for me to look at the way we have CC Learning set to not only deliver world class training with world class instructors; but we have a world class team backing all of this up. When we first began the company - like many - we relied on what would today be considered ancient tools to manage our courses. Spreadsheets and documents were the order of the day.

Many companies now boast administration processes and procedures; we've gone one better than that. We have taken our processes and procedures and automated them into a tool. We have Course Sales and nothing comes close to it as an automated training administration system - with web front end and web back end with powerful customisation capability.

The tool is based on defined process and procedure and it has already won us praise from a number of independant companies - but the tool is nothing without the right people to use it. We're a training company - so we train our staff in the complex art of training administration. Any training company that doesn't put as much effort into the way that they handle your enquiry, registration, pre-course and post course activities as they do into the training isn't providing you with a total experience.

CC Learning offers you a total training experience. You are kept informed, you get the best in class and out of class support and you won't find another company like CC Learning when it comes to your needs analysis, delivery and support. www.cclearning.cc

PRINCE2 Maturity Model

Many readers won't be aware of it, but there is a PRINCE2 Maturity model (P2MM). The model is a 5 tiered approach to assessing the initial, repeatable and defined key process areas of your PRINCE2 implementation.

Assessments are mechanisms that provide a way to prioritise improvements and in general give the reader an overall feel for the way a particular methodology is working in the organisation.

The P2MM defines five levels of maturity as follows  but only three levels are actually in use:

1. Initial - Projects are recognised and run differently from usual business
2. Repeatable - PRINCE2 adopted by most projects
3. Defined - PRINCE2 tailored for organisational fit
4. Managed - not utilised in PRINCE2
5. Optimising - not utilised in PRINCE2

You may be wondering - why define the 5 levels if only 3 are used. The reason is that the 5 levels are used in the ITIL maturity model (ITIL and PRINCE2 are both OGC owned frameworks).
