Course overview
PRINCE2® (an acronym for PRojects INaControlled Environment series 2) is a de facto process-based method for effective project management. Used extensively by the UK Government, PRINCE2 is also widely recognised and used in the private sector, both in the UK and internationally. The PRINCE2 method is in the public domain and offers non-proprietorial best practice guidance on project management.
The PRINCE2 Foundation course is the first of two examination courses that you are required to pass in order to become a registered PRINCE2 Practitioner. This makes it the ideal starting point for anyone who is interested in a rewarding career in project management.
Completion of the PRINCE2 Foundation course, and passing the certification examination, will result in being sufficiently prepared to work within a PRINCE2 environment and as a part of a PRINCE2 Project Management team. Successfully passing the PRINCE2 Foundation examination is also a prerequisite for writing the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam which will lead to becoming a Registered PRINCE2 Practitioner. A qualification in PRINCE2 is highly beneficial and the perfect investment for a future in the project management sector.
