PRINCE2 embodies many years of Best Practice in project Management and provides a flexible and adaptable approach to meet all types of projects. PRINCE2 is a project management method designed to provide a framework covering the wide variety of disciplines and activities required within a project. This course is not residential but accommodation can be arranged if required.

The course is five days long and includes two exams. The Foundation exam is first and normally held on Wednesday morning; the Practitioner exam is held on Friday morning and is open book. This is not a course you should take lightly as you will need evening work to prepare for both exams. We suggest that you focus fully on the course during your time with us to ensure the best result possible, and complete the pre-reading you will be sent prior to the start of the course.
