Course overview
PRINCE2® is like a recipe book for project management: just like a recipe book provides step-by-step instructions for preparing a dish, PRINCE2® provides a structured framework for managing projects. It helps ensure that all the necessary steps are followed and the project is completed successfully in a linear manner from the first to the last step. This package will not only allow you to learn the steps for successful project completion, but will teach you how to practically implement them.
Despite its fixed structure, PRINCE2® can be tailored to accommodate a project of any size or type and it demonstrates how you can break complex projects into manageable and controllable steps. If you manage change projects or hope to do so, PRINCE2® is an asset to have in your arsenal!
Once completing the PRINCE2® Package, you can benefit from progressing to PRINCE2® Agile as it will validate your skills as a flexible and versatile Project Professional. Our Project Management Career Programme is also the preferred route for students looking to kickstart their careers as Project Professionals.
What you'll learn
The Foundation certification serves as an introduction to the PRINCE2® methodology and will essentially validate your knowledge and understanding so that you are able to work with, or as part of, a project management team working within a PRINCE2® environment.
The Practitioner certification confirms that you are able to apply and tailor PRINCE2® in a range of different environments and scenarios. Upon completion, you will be able to work with, or as part of, a project management team working within a PRINCE2® environment.
Both certifications will enhance your communication, collaboration, organisation, and project management skills, regardless of whether you work in a project management environment.
