Description

At the end of the course, a delegate will be able to act as an informed member of a project team and be able to contribute to the creation of management documents and reports.  Delegates will be able to be given tasks to complete within the project and understand where that work fits with the overall scheme of the larger project.

A successful candidate should understand the structure and key terminology of the method. Specifically, the successful candidate should understand:-

• The characteristics and context of a project and the benefits of adopting PRINCE2
• The purpose of the PRINCE2 roles, management products and themes
• The PRINCE2 principles
• The purpose, objectives and context of the PRINCE2 processes. 

Accreditation

This course leads to the PRINCE2 Foundation level certification.  Delegates are prepared for the Foundation examination and will normally take this examination on the third day of the course.  The Foundation qualification is a pre-requisite for the Practitioner examination.

For further information, please visit our Accreditation page.

Pre-Requisites and Pre-Course Preparation

There are no pre-requisites for this course.

Due to exceptionally intensive nature of this course, there is between 6 and 15 hours of pre-course preparation to be completed and it is vital to the success of the course that this work is completed.  The pace of the course is unrelenting and there will be no opportunity during the course itself to try and catch up.  The actual time taken by each delegate will vary enormously and will depend on the individual, their learning style, existing knowledge or skills, and project management experience.

In addition, delegates should allow for 2 to 3 hours of evening work on each of the two evenings during the course.  This is to allow consolidation of the learning provided during the day and to provide sufficient practice with the sample examination questions provided in order to pass.

Additional Information

PRINCE2 has been designed as a project management method for use on any type of project. However, it does not cover the use of very many techniques, so we are pleased to offer a course that picks up where PRINCE2 stops - Project Planning and Control Techniques (PPCT). This course offers a practical, hands-on approach to a number of different techniques in everyday use.

PRINCE2 does not cover the use of any supporting tools, therefore we have adapted the Project Planning and Control Techniques course to include the use of the latest version of Microsoft Project.

This course covers the PRINCE2 method and the Processes, Themes and Principles to a level that prepares delegates for the Foundation examination.  For each element, we cover what the element is, the purpose of the element and when and where in the process model the element is used.
