Testimonials
-
Olufunmilayo APRINCE2® 2017 Foundation Course with Official PRINCE2® Online Exam"The exam was overall easy to book and I had a number of options for dates and time and was able to do it from the convenience of my home which eased my nerves a bit. I was given a reminder for the exam and downloaded the exam software on my laptop which also had the countdown days and time. Also while doing the exam there was a supervisor online to support me in case I needed help with instructions and guided me in navigating through the preliminary part of the exam. Once I completed the exam, I got my result immediately instead of having to nervously wait for it. Thank goodness I did pass and a day later I received my e-certificate with the option of paying for the hard-copy if I wanted."

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 PRINCE2® and MSP® and embed them within their working practices.
