PREPARE2LEAD

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Prepare2Lead?

A paid career-progression community for experienced project professionals. It is where you work on the gap between being capable and being chosen: positioning, visibility, evidence and interview performance, taught from three decades on the hiring and evaluation panels.

Who is it for?

Project professionals who have already built real experience and want to move forward in the career they have: greater responsibility, a stronger specialism, or work better aligned to their goals. It is not an introduction to project management and it is not general career coaching for leaving the profession.

What is the Career Blocker Check?

A free five-minute check that tells you which of the four career blockers is holding back your progression: Education, Experience, Skills or Exposure. Your result comes with the first move to make for your specific blocker. Take the Career Blocker Check

What does membership include?

The full course library including The Shortlist, The Dossier and Above the Parapet, the downloadable professional toolkit, The Green Room live session every week where you bring your real career decisions, and a community of project professionals on the same climb.

How much does it cost?

Membership is from $97 a month. Higher tiers with personal coaching and done-for-you support exist by application inside the community. Prepare2Lead is a paid community; the Career Blocker Check and the mock exams are the free ways to start.

Is there a trial?

Yes, a seven-day trial so you can see the community and start the courses before your first payment. Some downloadable resources unlock shortly after the trial period.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, directly in your account. No calls, no forms.

Does Prepare2Lead teach PRINCE2?

Certification runs through our accredited examination arm, the Compalley Exam Centre, starting with free full mock exams: real format, official timing, instant results showing exactly which topics would fail you. Take a free mock exam

Who runs Prepare2Lead?

James J Bailey, Consulting Director. Three decades across government, rail, space and financial services, more than £1 billion of programmes, PeopleCert Authorised Trainer, and thirty years sitting on the panels that do the choosing.

Why should I trust the approach?

Because it is taught from the deciding side. Recruiters, hiring managers and panels look you up before they reply to you, and what they find decides more than what you sent them. Everything inside is built on what those rooms actually score.

What if I do not know what I need to work on?

That is exactly what the Career Blocker Check is for. Take it first, then join with your result in hand. Take the Career Blocker Check
