Overview
Project managers play a vital role in organisations – they’re responsible for organising, directing, and planning specific projects on time, and on budget. Bearing this responsibility in mind, it’s essential for aspiring PMs to gain a respected, accredited qualification that will teach all the skills and knowledge necessary to get the job done well.
What is PRINCE2®?
PRINCE2® is a globally recognised, best practice methodology that has become the standard for project management internationally, opening up huge opportunities for those who are qualified. And, because PRINCE2® is truly generic, it can be applied to any project you find yourself working on.
What is PRINCE2® Foundation?
PRINCE2® Foundation is the first of two PRINCE2® qualifications required to become a full PRINCE2® Practitioner. You’ll delve into the principles and themes of structured project management, learn how to plan and manage your objectives in a timely and efficient manner, and keep projects tightly organised to prevent overspending or underdelivering. After you’ve completed PRINCE2® Foundation, you can move on to the PRINCE2® Practitioner course to complete your training.
