Students will be introduced to the principles, processes, themes and project environments which make up PRINCE2, as well as the relationships between them. They will then learn how to adapt and apply the methodology in practical real-world scenarios.
Project management has become a highly valuable corporate discipline. Regardless of the location, industry or size of an organization, having an effective project management framework is essential for achieving crucial goals on time, within budget and with a strict focus on corporate priorities.
This course is ideal for anyone who wants to pass the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner exams in quick succession in order to become a fully qualified PRINCE2 Practitioner. Many students prefer this combined approach, as it means less time and money spent on training.
