PR2-F-EL
New PRINCE2® 7 Foundation eLearning Package with Exam
Description
The aim of the course is to introduce participants to the project management solutions of PRINCE2®, one of the world’s most popular methodologies, and to prepare them for the internationally recognized PRINCE2® Foundation exam.
Since May 2024, the course has been available for the new 7th Edition.
PRINCE2®-based project management has become a de facto standard and is widely used in both the private and public sectors. PRINCE2® provides organizations with a common language, standardized processes, roles, and management practices for both general and IT project management. PRINCE2® can help improve project efficiency and quality, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce costs.
By the end of the course, participants will be familiar with PRINCE2®-based project management practices, process models, and product-based planning techniques. They will be able to create project plans, analyze risks, initiate projects, prepare project documentation, and manage projects. They will also understand the fundamentals of the techniques required for managing change, quality assurance, and product development. The knowledge gained provides the prerequisite knowledge for the advanced PRINCE2® Practitioner course.
The course is based on lectures, interactive exercises, case studies, and exam preparation sessions. The PRINCE2® Foundation exam can be taken after the course at a pre-arranged time.
Suggested For
We recommend the PRINCE2® Foundation course to anyone who will be involved in projects as part of their work, needs to work with a project-oriented approach, will manage projects, or wants to improve their organization’s existing project management processes. The course is ideal for project team members (project administrators, coordinators, support staff, managers, and consultants), practicing project managers, programme managers, as well as IT and HR managers.
