    piece of cake.
    They spent the whole week teaching you how to pass the exam rather than how to do PM.
    It's also open book. Take the time to mark off all the areas of the book with loads of PostIt notes so you can skip
    straight to the right bit...saves loads of time and makes it much easier.

    Nice one

    </p>

    I might be doing the week's course on Monday, but I am wondering how hard it is to pass for someone with no PM experience at all?

    Plus, although I knowwon't walk into a role because I have passed it, I was wondering whether its a good thing to have or not?</p>

    I'm taking someone's place on the course you see so its a bit of a bargain.....</p>

    Foundation or Practioner?

    Foundation i have done and anyone with a modicum of common sense, even you can do

    the practioner people tell me is equally straightforward and they walk you though it. Nobody fails

    As to is it any use. I look for it when interviewing PM's but you need to have experience to back it up. If you want to go into PM work from the bottom it would be useful without any experience to show a commitment to the role

    Essential for any Senior PM CV

    well worth the effort if only for that.

    Great. Unfortunately I am a recruitment consultant

    ..for now anyway. Looking to broaden the old horizons so to speak, i.e. get out of this game fast as i'm sick of it.</p>

    I wouldn't mind going the PM route but I know more about pullingfit birds than I do about project management. **** all in other words.</p>
