The Capabilities You Will Gain
Principles, Practices and Processes
In PRINCE2 Foundation training you learn the complete PRINCE2 7 method: its seven principles, seven practices, seven processes and the People capability, and how they combine to manage a project. By the end you can work effectively within a PRINCE2 environment and are ready for the Foundation exam.
Applying the Seven PRINCE2 Principles
Understand and apply continued business justification, learn from experience, defined roles and responsibilities, manage by stages, manage by exception, focus on products and tailoring, the principles that underpin every PRINCE2 project.
Working with the People Capability
Build the leadership, stakeholder engagement, team management and change skills introduced as a core element in PRINCE2 7, so you can support the human side of project delivery.
Managing the Seven Practices
Apply the Business Case, Organising, Plans, Quality, Risk, Issues and Progress practices, along with the management products that keep a project controlled and on track.
Running the Seven Processes
Follow the PRINCE2 project lifecycle from Starting Up a Project through Directing, Initiating, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery and Stage Boundaries to Closing a Project.
Tailoring PRINCE2 to Any Project
Learn how to scale and adapt the method to suit the size, complexity, environment and risk of a project, so PRINCE2 fits real work rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Preparing for the Foundation Exam
Practise against the closed-book format of 60 questions in 60 minutes, with a 60% pass mark, using mock exams and quizzes that build your confidence for exam day.
