Training Course Summary:

This five day course gives course participants a practical and comprehensive understanding of the PRINCE2™ project management methodology. It also fully prepares course participants for the PRINCE2™ Foundation and Practitioner examinations administered by the APMG.

Course participants will gain a thorough understanding of project management and the benefits of using a structured approach such as PRINCE2™.
Course participants will understand how to apply the PRINCE2™ methodology to the various stages of managing a project such as managing risk, planning, configuration, quality, controls, change and change control.
The course also includes thorough preparation for the Foundation and Practitioner examinations which are taken during the final two days of the course.

Pre-Requisites:

There are no formal pre-requisites, but it helps if course participants have experience of working as Project Managers already or have worked in project environments.
For those course participants with limited project exposure, we recommend attendance on Project Planning & Control.
Course participants should be prepared to put in sufficient effort to prepare themselves for the examinations. The course is intensive, and additional evening work is strongly recommended in order to approach the examinations with confidence.
Course participants are also strongly advised to complete a certain amount of recommended pre-reading. Full details will be sent to course participants approximately 2 weeks before the course start date.
