Overview The aim of this training event is to provide delegates with an in-depth knowledge and practical understanding of the PRINCE2®project management method. This training will help prepare delegates for the PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner examinations. The course follows the standard syllabus issued by APM Group who manage PRINCE2 on behalf of the UK Government.
This focuses on the PRINCE2® framework and how this is be applied intelligently to real projects.
PRINCE2® has established itself as global standard for managing projects and is generic, tailorable and uniquely business-driven.
Organisations that have adopted the PRINCE2® claim that they have been able to deliver projects and their products more successful, with enhanced control and greater customer satisfaction.
There is no formal prerequisites for attending this course, although it is beneficial for delegates to have some understanding of projects and project management.
Delegates will be sent a Pre-Course Study Guide and PRINCE2® Manual ten days prior to the event (subject to booking conditions) . It is important that delegates complete the pre course work prior to attending as the content covers items essential to the successful running of the programme. It will also enhance both yours and the classes learning experience.
Failure to complete the pre-course work may result in delegates being asked to defer to a course at a later date, as it can affect other students if it is not completed.
