anyone else on here doing them/done them?
Got an intense 5 days PRINCE2 Found and Pract to pass 1st week of June....just reading the book now!
Sounds a load of common sence to be honest, the methodology we use at work now is far better, but not recognised outside the company!

I haven't personally but a guy on my team recently did the ITIL foundation and got 100% on the exam.
I'm guessing the £900 will be paid for by your company?
It's not something I would bother paying for myself TBH.

Company funded, yes
the Prince2 one was 1900 + vat, I can get them cheaper elsewhere but I like MTC in Sunderland for training and have used them before

What's your intended career path?
Can't really think of a role that requires both qualifications.
I guess stuff like support manager or service manager might overlap both areas but surely not enough to justify a qualification in both?

ITIL is common sense stuff, but as said the wording can be a little tricky if your not really a classroom person.
I think i scrapped by, but tbh it was my old work and I didn't care much about it. But its fast becoming a world recognised qualification (understanding business processes). Im sure Prince2 would cover all of these anyway.
But if your companies paying, sure might as well get it anyway. I wouldn't pay myself though as James said.

at the moment Im doing a lot of IT project management from conception through to delivery....but has not been much of this since January when my site (one of several across 24 countries) was announced to be closed
these 2 qualifications will prove on a peice of paper what I am capable of doing (especially essesntial in public sector work)
I am currently in IT, with a business and marketing degree, so anything more IT-ish helps on my CV
