Testimonials
-
AlimChange Management Foundation and Practitioner with Official APMG Exams"The course is well designed and easy to navigate. The presentations are clear, calm, concise and well structured. The anxiety of tackling something new dissipated surprisingly quickly. The customer service team were also helpful. You simply can not go wrong with these guys. Having used them for both foundation and practitioner APMG change management exams and passing within 10 days, will use them for Prince2 as well. Could not recommend any higher."
-
Carol MChange Management Foundation and Practitioner with Official APMG Exams"The online modules are very good but you need a little background knowledge I would say. Also purchasing the book and reading the chapters as they advise is extremely helpful to retain the information. The book is quite expensive though so I am hoping it covers both courses requirements."

About Balance Global
Established in 1994, Balance Global was one of the first 3 training companies to be approved in the UK by the UK Cabinet Office to deliver PRINCE2® Accredited Courses. We have since broadened our portfolio to include MSP® (Managing Successful Programmes) and ITIL® (IT Infrastructure Library) qualification courses in addition to leadership, soft skills and designing bespoke training solutions.
We believe that our longevity can be attributed to the following facts:
- Strong attention to quality - In terms of pass rates we are in the top 10% of APMG/AXELOS Approved Training Organisations (ATO’s). We are also Matrix accredited
- We are able to bulk buy exam papers keeping our costs low
Trainer experience – All of our trainers have hands-on project and service management experience, rather than just being experienced trainers. We never use trainers who are not AXELOS/APM Group accredited and approved. - Consultancy assignments - We regularly undertake project and programme management assignments on behalf of our corporate clients, which ensures we are up to date regarding current working practices and techniques.
- Product focus – We keep focused on our areas of expertise and what we do best rather than diversifying too broadly.
One of our values is to provide good ‘takeaway’ value. By this, we mean that we don’t just want to teach theory or chalk up exam passes. We want delegates to be able to go back to their workplace and implement what they have learnt straight away and really make a difference. This is why we offer a range of templates, and after-care service and consultancy to help clients tailor and embed their learnings within their working practices.
