Course Overview 

A 3 day, non-residential project management training course. This course is suitable for Project Managers, Project Consultants, Project Planners, Project Estimators, Resource Managers, Team Managers, Supervisors, Project Support Staff, Project Assurance Staff or anyone requiring more than a basic knowledge of Prince2™.

What you will learn

Following on from the PRINCE2 overview course, the Foundation course adds a significant amount of knowledge and understanding of how all the processes, components and techniques work together to achieve the successful delivery of a Prince2™ project. 

Prior to the course, each delegate will be sent the Prince2™ manual together with some suggested pre-course work and a reading list, in order that they become familiar with the Prince2™ concepts.  It is essential to the successful delivery of this course that the pre-course work is completed. 

A large proportion of this pre-course work may be omitted where the delegate has attended the Prince2™ Overview course.
