PRINCE2® Foundation & Practitioner Training

PRINCE2® is the world’s most practised method for project management, with over one million certified professionals across 150 countries worldwide. Developed by leading best practice solutions provider Axelos, it offers a practical, flexible and scalable methodology to help manage any project, regardless of size or type.

This package includes both Foundation and Practitioner level PRINCE2® 2017 courseware, making it suitable for complete project management beginners who wish to progress to practitioner level.

What Will I Learn?

The PRINCE2® methodology is a made up of seven core Principles, Themes and Processes. The Principles represent the ‘why’, the Themes represent the ‘what’ and the Processes represent the ‘how’ of project management – and together they provide a clear path to project management success.

Why Choose PRINCE2® 2017?

PRINCE2® 2017 is the latest update to the methodology and represents the first major courseware update since PRINCE2® 2009. It features a stronger focus on tailoring PRINCE2® to the individual needs of each organisation, and looks to further emphasise the Principles that underpin PRINCE2®. The link between Themes and Principles is clarified in more detail through PRINCE2® 2017, and more examples, hints and tips are given to further enable the practical application of the PRINCE2® theory.

Businesses and individuals looking for the most up to date PRINCE2® training should invest in PRINCE2® 2017 – and with 85% of practitioners stating that they find PRINCE2® helpful in their day to day role, it’s sure to be a very wise investment.
