PRINCE2® Foundation & Practitioner 7th Edition

Course Overview

This accredited PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner 7th edition course is designed to provide delegates with a working understanding of the PRINCE2® structured project management method. It will enable them to use the method when working within a PRINCE2® project and to pass the PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner examinations.

The course covers the full PRINCE2® syllabus and therefore equips delegates not just to take the Foundation and Practitioner examinations, but also to understand the broad range of PRINCE2®’s principles, key themes, processes and techniques. The aim during the course is to achieve an effective balance between exam success and the need for skills transfer.

Delegates are required to undertake preliminary study using pre-course learning resources which will be provided to them. Further self-study is also expected during the evenings of each course day.

Please note: the following PRINCE2 examination process will apply to every course:

• All PRINCE2 examinations are arranged and administered online direct by Peoplecert.

• Delegates will be provided with a Peoplecert examination voucher for each examination. The voucher for the Foundation examination includes access to the Official 7th Edition PRINCE2 Manual e-book.

• On receipt of the voucher code the delegate should create or login to their candidate profile on the Peoplecert website to “redeem” the voucher and get access to the PRINCE2 Manual e-book.

This accredited PRINCE2 training course includes the official e-manual, and benefits from our Exam Pass Guarantee*.
