We are the UKs' leading trainers in the PRINCE2 Methodology, providing training, software and consultancy in Project, Programme & Risk Management.SPOCE Project Management Ltd was founded in 1994 by Ken Bradley, a leading proponent of the PRINCE2 method, to provide training in the PRINCE/PROMPT project management methodology. SPOCE Project Management Limited is a professional company operating in the PRINCE market. Our turnover is in excess of £1.5M and we hold substantial assets.
The Companys preferred strategy is to maintain a small, efficient professional and administrative core and create a proficient group of independent trainers who deliver the Companys training products. Currently we own a three-storey office block in Poole and employ 12 direct staff and retain the services of over 20 associate trainers.
The company has adapted to changing technology to provide various software packages and tools to encompass electronic versions of the Kens' own manuals, examination assistants, Computer-Based Training and Distance Learning Packages. Ken has authored several books and manuals on the subject, indeed his book "Passing The PRINCE 2 Exam" has been adopted by the OGC and is published by The Stationery Office.
Our "LaunchPad" software has also proved extremely popular with a number of major Corporations, selecting it in preference to the official IBM PRINCE 2 support software. LaunchPad has been recently revised to accomodate changing computing technology and changes to the PRINCE2 method.
Corporate PRINCE integrates LaunchPad implementation software and our PassPort computer-based training package to provide a fully-customisable solution which has been taken up by large corporations and government departments alike.
Large corporate organisations, with their own internal training facilities and personnel, may be interested in licensing our material with corporate adaptions and logos for in-house delivery. This has proved popular with corporate clients in Australia, The Netherlands, Poland and the USA .
