PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner

If you are a project manager, project support team member or work package manager, and you want to achieve PRINCE2® accreditation, this course is for you!

What are the course objectives?

Following the course you will have a good understanding of PRINCE2® and, subject to successful examination results, a recognised accreditation.

The course is designed to provide you with a working understanding of structured project management as presented in PRINCE2®, to a level where you can use it to manage a project and pass the APMG PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Examinations. The course is accredited by APMG.

What are the key topics?
  • Business & projects
  • PRINCE2® processes
  • Project start up
  • Project organisation
  • Business case components
  • Project scenarios
  • Product-based planning
  • Management of risk
  • Configuration management
  • Controls
  • Controlling a stage
  • Change control
What is the course format?

In advance of the course, you will be provided with a copy of the PRINCE2® Manual, along with our pre-course study materials and you should plan to do up to eight hours of study on those materials prior to attending the course. Naturally, if you have knowledge and experience of PRINCE2® this time may be lessened for you.

In order to give you the best chance of passing the exam and retaining the knowledge our course is split across two weeks. In week 1 the course is a four-day classroom event which blends formal presentation with practical exercises and focused discussion. Evening work is necessary and your trainer will assess your evening work at the start of each day. The Foundation exam is taken on the fourth day. The rest of the day is dedicated to examination technique and preparation for the Practitioner examination.

After the classroom part of the course there is a study break of one week. During this time you will be expected to undertake further distance learning and revision using the materials that we provide. You then return and take the three-hour Practitioner examination.

What is the duration and cost of the course?

This course is either 4 days with a week break between the course and the exam or 5 days with the exam taking place on the fifth day.

£1,300 plus VAT includes exam fees and manual.
