Description

Widely used by the UK government and adopted by UK and international private sector businesses, PRINCE2® has become the go-to project management resource since it was introduced in 1996. Like its predecessors, PRINCE2® 2017 offers you the opportunity to employ consistent and effective project management across your business. This PRINCE2® Passport e-learning course is foundation level and is part of a course and exam package accredited by the APM group.

At foundation level the PRINCE2® passport covers the basic terminology used in the project management system, and the methods applied and put into action throughout the process. 12 interactive modules will break down all the main elements of PRINCE2®.
Benefits Of Investing In This Training
PRINCE2® can benefit an organisation’s project management approach by clearly identifying what a project is to deliver, and breaking this down into manageable stages for staff involved. Training can be delivered to staff at director/executive level, to those in project management roles, and staff members looking for increased employment prospects and new roles in the field.
