Content

This course gives you an easy and efficient way to obtain a PRINCE2 project management certificate. During three intensive days, you will acquire the knowledge needed to successfully pass the exam and obtain your PRINCE2 certificate.

This course will focus on these elements:

• Introduction to PRINCE2’s guiding principles for effective project management
• Knowledge of PRINCE2 processes, activities and practices
• Knowledge of what it requires to be leading change and teams in an organization
• Introduction to sustainability via e-learning (before or after the course)
• Preparation for the PRINCE2 Foundation exam (to be booked after the course)

Method

On this course you will get a unique opportunity to work with a case project under the supervision of your teacher. This will further enhance your ability to master a PRINCE2 project in your organization and at the same time successfully prepare you for the exam.

The course has three steps:

1. An online course on sustainability. As one of PRINCE2’s performance targets is sustainability, you will gain access to our e-learning module on sustainability. This module is not a part of the PRINCE2 7 course, and you can use this as your own inspiration either prior to or after the course.

2. A self-study period, where you will be reading the manual and preparing yourself for the three-day course. Expect a workload of approximately 25 to 30 hours for this step.

3. Three consecutive course days. This step in the course will focus on several things: teacher presentations based on best practice, practical experience and lessons learned in relation to using and adapting PRINCE2 and working with case projects selected by course participants.

You will receive an access to the electronic manual and all the online course elements at least four weeks prior to the three-day course.

Please note that it is important for you to prepare for the three course days to get the optimum benefit from the course and in this way be sufficiently prepared for the exam.

Exam/certification (included in the price)

You will receive an exam voucher so that after you have completed the course, you can book the online exam yourself, at a time that suits you the best. You will use your own computer for the exam. If you do not pass your exam, you will receive an additional free trial (Take2)
