While I wait for my results

Today I passed my PRINCE2 Foundation certification with a 77% on the exam.

The questions weren't easy but I'm happy with the results considering that only 1 month was dedicated to it.

I have also registered for an accelerated Masters in Project Management PMP in Spain, it will take only Nov 2014 - April 2015, it will be a lot of work as all the knowledge will be concentrated in just 6 months but I think it will be worth it. They only accept 15 pupils per year and I was accepted!

And last but not least I have also changed jobs again and I'm now Lead Developer!

During the days left until my Masters starts I need to study for the PRINCE2 Practitioner now, I have been looking at the way they offer the exams and it seems to be one cannot do it in a Prometric center else needs to do it in one of their venues or through the Internet with a laptop and a camera. I'm not so keen to do it through Internet as weird things could happen (disconnection, someone knocking at the door in the middle of the exam, etc.) and probably that would mean not passing the exam due to unforseen circumstances so I assume I will go to one of their centres in London or Milton Keynes.

Looking at their available dates I would say around December I could have some holidays that could match one of the exam dates. I wanted to have it before starting my Masters but I have also my holidays around that day and it's being difficult to see how can I do it possible that way, probably December is best option. The advantage is that I will dedicate more time to study for it but the disadvantage of it is that it will overlap with my Masters studies for some weeks.

Let's see what happens. Stay tuned!
