Description

Course Overview

PRINCE2® (Projects In Controlled Environments) is a process-based approach for project management providing an easily tailored and scalable method for the management of all types of projects. The method is the de-facto standard for project management in the UK and is practiced worldwide.

PRINCE2® is a non-proprietary method and has emerged worldwide as one of the most widely accepted methods for managing projects. This is largely due to the fact that PRINCE2® is truly generic – it can be applied to any project regardless of project scale, type, organisation, geography or culture.

Because PRINCE2® is generic and based on proven principles, organisations adopting the method as a standard can substantially improve their organisational capability and maturity across multiple areas of business activity – business change, construction, IT, mergers and acquisitions, research, product development and so on.

This PRINCE2® Foundation course will:

• Equip you with the information required to successfully pass the PRINCE2® Foundation exam
• The foundation level confirms you have sufficient knowledge and understanding of the PRINCE2® method to be able to work effectively with, or as a member of a project management team working within an environment supporting PRINCE2®. The foundation level is also a pre-requisite for the practitioner certification.
