PRINCE2 Foundation Course

The aim of this course is to provide delegates with 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 qualification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner qualification.

By the end of the course a delegate should understand the structure and key terminology of the method. Specifically the delegate should understand:

• The characteristics and context of a project and the benefits of adopting PRINCE2®
• The purpose of the PRINCE2® roles, management products and themes
• The PRINCE2® principles
• The purpose, objectives and context of the PRINCE2® processes.

There are no formal pre-requisites for this course.

Delegates should allow for 2 to 3 hours of evening work on each of the two evenings during the course. This is to allow consolidation of the learning provided during the day and to provide sufficient practice with the sample examination questions provided in order to pass.

The PRINCE2® Foundation examination is a closed- book 60 minute 75 multiple choice question paper with 5 questions to be trial and not counted in scores. The pass mark is 50% (35 marks required to pass out of 70 available).
