The aim of this training is to provide delegates with a fundamental understanding of the PRINCE2 project management method and help delegates to prepare for the PRINCE2 Foundation examination at the end of this course.
The course follows the2017 syllabus issued by AXELOS, which focuses on the PRINCE2 framework and how this might be applied pragmatically to real projects. PRINCE2 has established itself as the premier approach to managing projects. PRINCE2 is generic capable of being applied to any kind of project tailorable and business-driven. Organisations that have adopted the PRINCE2 have claimed that they have been able to achieve greater customer satisfaction during and at the end of projects, to reduce costs and to realise greater benefit from project deliverables.
This course would benefit all members in a project team (administrators, coordinators, managers), practising project managers and programme managers. Due to the generic nature of this course, it is also suitable for general managers, staff in a supporting role, and those who wish to gain formal recognition of their skills by taking the PRINCE2 foundation examination.
