Introducing PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner
PRINCE2 is widely considered to be the world’s leading project management method. There are now people qualified in PRINCE2 in most countries around the world, with many companies and government organisations using the method to deliver change and develop new products and services.
PRINCE2 has been designed to be generic so that it can be applied to any project regardless of project scale, type, organisation, geography or culture. It provides a tried and tested method from which many project managers can benefit.
What does the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner course cover?
The PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner syllabus will cover everything you need in order to demonstrate that you can apply and tune PRINCE2® 6th Edition to address the needs and problems of a specific project scenario. Specifically, you must be able to:
