I’m assuming you’ve tried to find dev roles but haven’t had much luck. It’s a bit of a catch 22 situation really as IMHO a qualification won’t get you a PM role, experience will.
I probably wouldn’t hire someone as a project manager if they had come from a technical role and had no experience of being a PM, although I have moved people internally to PM roles. You should certainly adapt your CV to highlight how you have applied project management methodologies to your previous roles. You may find a recruiter willing to take a punt to recruit a junior technical PM.
Prince 2 courses are not training courses (unless you’ve found an actual training course!), it’s a certification course (i.e. to get you through the exam). The certification is supposed to show that as a PM you employ Prince 2 methodology – although anyone could pass it, even a school leaver.
I would suggest applying for junior project management roles (PMO or project analyst), or development roles that require a certain amount of project management to gain more experience.
Agencies are tricky as you’ve got to get past the people who are rejecting your CV because you don’t have the appropriate tick in the box.
