Skills You Will Build in This Programme
Principles, Practices and Real Project Application
This PRINCE2 training builds method knowledge, applied delivery skills and readiness for both PeopleCert exams. By the end of the programme you can plan, govern and tailor projects using the seven principles, seven practices and seven processes of PRINCE2 7.
Apply the Seven PRINCE2 Principles
Skills covered in PRINCE2 begin with the seven principles that underpin every project, including continued business justification, manage by stages, manage by exception and focus on products. You learn to recognise when they are applied well and where a project is at risk.
Lead People and Stakeholders
Build the People capability introduced in PRINCE2 7, covering leadership styles, stakeholder engagement, team dynamics and change management, so you can guide project teams and manage relationships alongside the method.
Run the Seven PRINCE2 Practices
Work through Business Case, Organising, Plans, Quality, Risk, Issues and Progress, along with their management products, so you can plan, control and assure delivery on real projects.
Drive the Seven Processes End to End
Follow the method from Starting Up a Project through Directing, Initiating, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing a Stage Boundary and Closing a Project, connecting activities and responsibilities across the lifecycle.
Tailor PRINCE2 to Any Project
Learn to tailor principles, practices and processes to project size, complexity and delivery approach, including agile and hybrid environments, so governance fits the project rather than the other way round.
Prepare for Both PeopleCert Exams
Get exam-ready for the closed-book Foundation paper and the open-book, scenario-based Practitioner paper, with practice questions and manual navigation techniques mapped to the PRINCE2 7 syllabus.
