Course Overview
The accredited PRINCE2® Foundation 7th Edition course provides a comprehensive introduction to one of the world's most widely adopted project management methodologies.

There are no formal prerequisites for PRINCE2 Foundation. However, learners will benefit from some prior project experience, whether as a project team member, coordinator, or stakeholder.
The course is suitable for individuals new to formal project management methodologies who want to develop a structured approach to project delivery. If this is your first project management qualification, we recommend starting with Agile Project Management Foundation before progressing to PRINCE2 Foundation, as it provides a useful introduction to project delivery concepts and Agile ways of working.
