PRINCE2® 7th edition Foundation - accredited training with exam

This course is aimed at project managers and aspiring project managers. It is also relevant to other key staff involved in the design, development and delivery of projects, including: company board members, Public Sector managers, sponsors and project and subproject managers.

Participants who pass the examination will receive the internationally recognised PRINCE2® Project Management Foundation certificate in electronic format. The certificate is valid for three years.

The objective of the accredited PRINCE2® Project Management Foundation course is to provide participants with a solid foundation in proven project management methods that significantly facilitate effective project delivery. This increases the likelihood of achieving project objectives and success, while ensuring that projects are managed in a controlled and structured manner. The course also places strong emphasis on the scalability of the methodology and the ability to tailor and apply PRINCE2® appropriately within different project environments.
