The accredited PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner 7th Edition course provides a complete understanding of one of the world's most widely adopted project management methodologies and prepares learners for both the Foundation and Practitioner qualifications.
PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) provides a structured, scalable and practical framework for managing projects of any size, complexity or industry sector. The methodology focuses on governance, control, accountability and value delivery, helping organisations manage projects successfully while maintaining clear business justification throughout the project lifecycle. This intensive course covers both the Foundation and Practitioner syllabuses, giving learners a thorough understanding of PRINCE2 principles, people, practices, and processes, along with the ability to apply and tailor the methodology in real-world project environments.
Through practical exercises, project scenarios and examination preparation, delegates will develop the knowledge and confidence needed to use PRINCE2 effectively and achieve both certifications. The aim of the course is to balance examination success with practical skills transfer, enabling learners to apply PRINCE2 immediately within their own organisations.
Please note: Delegates must complete pre-course study using the learning materials provided before attending the course. Additional self-study is also expected during the evenings of each training day.
