The aim of this training is to provide delegates with a fundamental understanding of the PRINCE2® project management method, and help delegates to prepare for the PRINCE2® Foundation examination at the end of this course.
The course follows the standard syllabus issued by the PRINCE2® Examinations Board, which focuses on the PRINCE2® framework and how this might be applied pragmatically to real projects.
PRINCE2® has established itself as the premier approach to managing projects.
PRINCE2® is generic – capable of being applied to any kind of project – scalable and business-driven.
Organisations that have adopted the PRINCE2® have claimed that they have been able to achieve greater customer satisfaction during and at the end of projects, to reduce costs and to realise greater benefit from project deliverables.
Delegates will take the PRINCE2® Foundation exam at the end of day 3 of this course. Exam fee is included in the list price.
A comprehensive course manual is provided and the course can be tailored to reflect the emphasis required by the customer.
