COURSE OVERVIEW

Receive the #1 international standard of project management training.

Join over 560,000 project management leaders worldwide who are PRINCE2® certified!

This course prepares you for the exam leading to the PRINCE2 Foundation Certification.

This three-day introductory course is for those seeking to become effective project contributors and for those who wish to obtain the PRINCE2 Foundation certification.

As a follow up to this three-day introductory course, the PRINCE2 Practitioner level certification course is offered in each city immediately following the Foundation course. The two-day Practitioner course lets you go beyond just theory to learn how to apply your learning to real life scenarios.

PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a process-based, scalable approach for effective project management. PRINCE2's teachings and certifications provide you with knowledge needed to contribute successfully to your organisation's projects. Overall, the guidance will give you and your team common project processes, systems, procedures and language. You benefit from stronger communication channels between the project team, project management and the rest of the organisation, while avoiding errors, saving time and money and, most important, delivering successful project outcomes!

PRINCE2 is widely used across the world and is gaining popularity in Asia as a complement to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)® championed by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

PRINCE2's unique features include:

• The definition of seven key processes, themes and roles for project functions
• Theories for assessing project management maturity
• A focus on business justification and ongoing validation of processes
