What is MoR?
Management of Risk (MoR), is an approach to the management of operational and project, programme and portfolio risk. It offers a standard recognised way of managing risk and it is based on a set of principles, an approach and processes. It is important that risk awareness is embedded in the organisation so as to assess the impact on the organisation.
What is AgilePM?
Agile Project Management delivers a more flexible and adaptive approach to projects. It is a new approach for business projects which strive for high-speed innovation. Agile projects focus on the delivery of the products and cut to a minimum the bureaucracy traditionally associated with some project management methods.
Based on the proven agile project management approach developed by the Agile Business Consortium, our courses show you how to deliver agile projects in organisations requiring standards, rigour and visibility around Project Management, while at the same time enabling the fast pace, change and empowerment expected in an agile environment.
Can I just pay for the training course now and pay for the exam later?
Yes, for our APMG certification courses (Agile, Change, BBC) you will be able to pay for your training first and when you are ready email us for booking your certification examination in the relevant course.
Our ATO licence with AXELOS (PeopleCert) prevents us from offering training without exams. So for our PRINCE2 and M_o_R courses, if you don’t need certification, you could simply read the relevant reference manual, but you wouldn’t benefit from the practical experience embedded in our courses.
Can I just do the training and not take the exam?
Once you’ve paid for a course (which includes the cost of an onetime exam for AXELOS courses) it’s up to you whether you in fact take the exam.
We highly recommend that you take your certification examination as it will provide you with globally recognised professional credentials that will help you in your career and prove to employers you have the knowledge and skills required to perform on you job.
What are the costs of the examinations?
Examination costs vary based on the Region you live in. Prices for your exams are determined by the relevant Examination Institute (PeopleCert or APMG).
The Examination Fees (shown at checkout for AXELOS / People Cert courses) are automatically calculated and are included in the cost of your course. EZY Skills passes the cost of these Exmaniation Fees directly through to you at the rate charged by the relevant institute.
Can I book my exam directly with an examination institute?
Yes. The price you pay to EZY Skills (for AXELOS / PeopleCert courses) includes the examination fee (that examination institutes charge you, however we make the examination bookings on your behalf).
Both examination institutes (People Cert and APMG) charge significantly more for exams booked directly by the candidate. For example: PeopleCert charge us AUD244 for a PRINCE2 Foundation exam, whereas PeopleCert would charge you AUD501 for the same exam if you booked it directly with them.
We highly recommend that you do not make examination bookings directly with an examination institute.
How do I book my exams?
After you pay for your course, which includes the examination fee, we will book your exams with the relevant examination institute after you email us at courses@ezyskills.com.au to confirm that you are ready to take your exam .
The examination institute will then contact you directly to tell you:
– How to schedule your exams;
– What are their technical requirements for taking the online examination
If I pass an exam, how will my certificate be delivered to me?
A successful candidate will be able to download their certificate from the relevant examination institute’s candidate registration system.
If I take the "combined" course and pass the Foundation exam but do not pass the Practitioner exam will I still receive a Foundation certificate?
Yes
If I take the "combined course" and passed both the Foundation exam and the Practitioner exam, will I receive a certificate for each?
If you make two separate exam bookings, one for the Foundation exam and a different booking for the Practitioner exam, then you will receive a certificate for each.
Where both exams were booked on the same booking, and you pass both exams, then you will only receive the Practitioner certificate.
If I do the training only, will I receive an 'Attendance Certificate'?
AXELOS has determined that ATOs can no longer issue "Attendance Certificates" for Axelos courses. ATOs are only able to provide a letter stating that a person attended a specific course.
It is still possible for ATOs to issue Attendance Certificates (if requested) for APMG courses such as Agile Project Management, Change Management and Better Business Cases.
Who issues certificates if I pass a Foundation or Practitioner course?
The examination institute associated with a course issues globally recognised certificates to successful candidates on behalf of the owner of the scheme for that course.

For Individuals
The current global pandemic has shone a light on the need for online training and will act as a catalyst for revolutionising the educational industry. The post pandemic trend of the "Great Resignation" or the "Great Reassessment" has now created many oppurtunities for individuals.
Whether you are a student, working professional, unemployed or looking to make career change or transition, the need for upskilling, re-training or further education becomes paramount. You can learn new skills and get certified all from the compfort of your home. New careeer directions and opportunites can now become an attainable goal while maintaining a work life balance.
For Organisations
The “Working from Home(WFH)” trend during the pandemic has forced organisations to develop technology solutions that facilitate employee work and productivity. Most employees within organisations are comfortable WFH leading many employers with questions and challenges as to how to approach the post pandemic world.
The post pandemic trends of the "Great Resignation" or the "Great Reassessment" has many implications for nearly all organisations today with a labour and skills shortage that has to potential to disrupt badly needed growth. This will drive up industry costs as employers compete with a limited resource in some industries. The cost of recruitement and new employee training can become prohibitive.

Geographic reach
If you are an organisation with offices and staff in multiple locations or an individual who is on the go due to the nature of work, access to online training - available on any device, anywhere is a real convenience and benefit
Flexibility
Today's faced paced personal and business environment we live in, leaves us with little time to focus on upskilling. Online training courses can be taken anytime, anywhere. The only requirement is a reliable internet connection. Making time during your coffee breaks at work, sitting on your couch and taking online courses instead of watching television, and listening to audio/video files while travelling to and from work are some of the ways online training courses can be taken up. This ensures flexibility in terms of time and effort.
Mobility and Accessibility
With the proliferation of mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, online courses are not only restricted to desktops; our courses are configured for all types of devices. Thinking of taking a course while travelling? eLearning is now literally in your pocket.
Cost effectiveness and Availability
Traditional classroom-based course requires physical copies of books, notes, and the physical presence of professors / trainers to deliver courses. The logistics and hidden costs (such as lost employee productivity) can lead to higher net training costs for organisations. Online courses are extremely cost-effective.
Through online training, courseware, reference materials and notes can be saved on your hard drive or “in the cloud” (eg: EZY Skills online learning platform) for easy access anytime anywhere and can be viewed multiple times without limit.
