PRINCE2® Foundation & Practitioner

Course Description

This five-day accredited course provides participants with a thorough grounding in PRINCE2® and is comprised of three main elements. The first provides coverage of PRINCE2® principles: the need for structured project management, why pragmatic and intelligent use of methods is so important, and how PRINCE2® can be employed to achieve business-related objectives. The second element considers the method itself: what PRINCE2® looks like, how the major components & processes such as planning and control work on their own as well as together, and how the roles associated with the PRINCE2® method can be made really effective. The third element deals with the implementation of PRINCE2® and provides sound, practical advice on introducing the method into a range of different environments, always bearing in mind the need to keep bureaucracy to a minimum.

Delegates attending this intensive course will sit the PRINCE2® Foundation exam and the end of day 3 and the PRINCE2® Practitioner exam at the end of day 5.  If delegates successfully pass the exams then they will be certified
accordingly.
