BA CK G RO UND
After being appointed to provide PRINCE2 training for leading global trade credit insurer
Atradius, ILX had to consider the challenge of developing a training programme that would
train staff based in multiple locations across Germany, Belgium and the UK up to
Foundation level. The end solution was facilitated through accredited PRINCE2 digital
learning, with the added benefit of telephone-based trainer support. To date, 54 people
have either started or completed the PRINCE2 Foundation course with a 100 percent pass rate. There are also plans to rollout
PRINCE2 Practitioner training as a second phase.

T HE LE A R NING PRO G RA MME

Brian Winterbourne, Programme Manager at Atradius, comments:We have a team of nearly 30 people specifically responsible
for delivering complex IT projects from large scale data centre upgrades to developing bespoke risk applications for our clie nts.
We wanted to fast track our project managers with PRINCE2 foundation training as we knew it would help standardise our
internal processes and improve the way we managed projects. We initially thought of introducing classroom based training, but
it quickly became apparent that an e-learning solution would help give our busy staff greater flexibility to learn at times that
suited them.
ILXs PRINCE2 course has now been adopted beyond Atradius IT division and has been taken up by people holding project
management related responsibilities in the wider Atradius business. The online course materials are also openly licensed to
all its 4,000 staff across Europe and worldwide.
Winterbourne adds: The ILX e-learning system allows us to view progress being made on the course and whos preparing
ahead of exams through a simple online dashboard hosted by ILX.
We were surprised at how quickly our project managers and project coordinators started to use common language shortly after starting
the course. The feedback from the team has been extremely positive. The roll out of PRINCE2 has created a great team spirit amongst
our offices across Europe and created a healthy competition as everyone now wants to score a hundred percent pass rate.
