PRINCE2 Foundation
Following on from the Overview course, the Foundation course adds a
significant amount of knowledge and understanding of how all the
processes, components and techniques all work together to achieve the
successful delivery of a Prince2 project. Delegates will be given a
sufficient level of knowledge to be able to pass the examination leading
to the award of the Prince2 Foundation Certificate.

FOUNDATION EXAMINATION
|
Pre-Course Requirements
There are no pre-requisites in terms of project
management experience. Prior to the course, each delegate will be sent
the Prince2 manual, 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.
Who should
attend?
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
Examination
The examination is of 75
multiple-choice questions to be completed within 1 hour, taken at the end
of the third day and provides a specific and measurable assessment of the
skills gained.
Delegates should be aware that some evening study will
be required on days one and two, in order to assist in the successful
completion of the examination.

Project Introduction
ITIL
For those wishing to consolidate the
Foundation concepts, the choice is between sitting the 5-day Practitioner
course, or one of the two variants of the Conversion course. Where
delegates have had a significant amount of time since attending the
Foundation course, or require a full refresher, or attended the older
version of the Foundation (pre-October 2005), then the 5 day Practitioner
may prove to be the wiser investment.
For those preparing for the
Practitioner examination, where a quick reminder of the method and
practise in the exam technique is all that is required, then the 2 day
Conversion course is available. The 2 day Conversion course is also
suitable for delegates re-sitting the examination or renewing their
qualifications. Where clients feel that something in between these two
extremes is more appropriate, the 3 day Conversion course is available for
Closed Courses only.
PRINCE2 has been designed as a project management
method for use on any type of project. However, it does not cover the use
of very many techniques, so we are pleased to offer a course that picks up
where PRINCE2 stops - Project Planning and Control Techniques (PPCT).
This course offers a practical, hands-on approach to a number of different
techniques in everyday use.
PRINCE2 does not cover the use of any
supporting tools, therefore we have adapted the Project Planning and
Control Techniques course to include the use of the latest version of
Microsoft Project.
