PRINCE 2 courses are available at various centres throughout the UK. These courses can be delivered onsite upon request.
The Course
PRINCE2 is an exam-based qualification composed of two levels: Foundation and Practitioner. The PRINCE2 Foundation course will focus on equipping the delegate with a detailed knowledge of the PRINCE2 methodology including the seven principles, seven processes and seven themes central to running a project using this method. The successful completion of the Foundation Exam will give the delegate a recognised Foundation qualification. This course is delivered using accelerated learning techniques which create fun, interactive and interesting training environments. We provide pre-course materials and activities to enable delegates to prepare themselves for the course so that they can take full advantage of the trainer’s knowledge and guidance.
You have opportunities to discuss the purpose and nature of the 8 controls that PRINCE2 builds into the project ‘Contract’ (Project Initiation Document). You will explore the relevance of PRINCE2 to your own projects.
