Why should I choose Scoll as a training provider?

Scoll Methods has built a reputation for excellence with a flexible, fun approach to training and consultancy, since its inception in 1994. Our trainers are experienced in the use of the subjects they teach, and will offer practical help so you begin to apply your learning during your training course.

Tailored courses are developed to meet specific business needs, and standard courses are available through either our public course schedule or as an in-house option.

Please take a look at our Why Choose Scoll? page for more reasons to choose Scoll!

Will a qualification increase my employability?

MSP™, PRINCE2® and M_o_R® have a high profile in the market place as the UK Government Best Practice standards for effective Programme, Project and Risk Management. The methods have been mandated for all public sector organisations to use for their programmes and projects, so the qualifications are looked upon favourably by Government Departments, Local Authorities and private sector companies (especially suppliers to public sector organisations).

The British Computer Society’s ISEB Diploma in Business Analysis is gaining popularity through its versatility and range of applications, particularly in those areas that dove tail well with PRINCE2®,  MSP™ and M_o_R®.

You will boost your CV, and by attending training courses you will gain practical, flexible skills. You will be able to demonstrate to future employers that you can provide a controlled environment for managing programmes & projects, or apply industry standard methods and techniques in your chosen business field.

Are your courses accredited?

Yes! Scoll Methods has been involved in PRINCE2® (project management) and MSP™ (programme management) since launch, becoming accredited by the APM Group (UKAS Quality standards) as a training organisation in 1996 and 2000 respectively. Scoll Methods was further accredited as a M_o_R® (Management of Risk) in 2006.

Our Business Analysis courses are run in conjunction with ISEB’s Business Systems Development syllabi and trainers are accredited as external examiners.

Can I defer taking an exam?

Yes! If, once on the course, you do not feel ready to sit your practitioner exams, you may defer taking it by up to a month, at no extra cost. You do not need to make a decision until the day before the exam and your course trainer will be happy to offer you guidance and make arrangements.

To assist you in your preparation, you may choose to attend a revision session or take advantage of the option to attempt a practice exam paper on which we will provide verbal or written feedback.

Do you provide any helpful tips for exam preparation?

Yes!

Prior to your training course, we will send you out the relevant course book, and encourage you to familiarise yourself with the layout and content of the book in preparation for the course.

Throughout your course, you will receive hints & tips on preparation for the relevant exams.

We also issue practice exam papers, which show you the structure and content type of the exams, and answers are reviewed during the courses.

Case study examples are used throughout the courses, to demonstrate the flow of through the various processes of the methods and to provide you with examples of all the main documentation.

What is the dress code for your training courses?

We do not have a dress code – please feel free to wear whatever you are comfortable in. The majority of our delegates dress smart/casual.
