PRINCE2 Foundation Certificate

PRINCE2 Foundation Certificate

The PRINCE2® Foundation Certificate lays the groundwork for a career in project management. Almost every sector of business and industry needs project managers and the PRINCE2® training system produces project managers employers can rely on. After this introduction to project management you can progress to the next qualification and become a PRINCE2® Certified Practitioner.

The PRINCE2® Foundation Certificate project management course starts with the fundamentals of project management, with proven PRINCE2® methods, studying the different roles and processes and how they function in the context of a project.

You'll look at the relationships between the different aspects of a project, such as processes, management, deliverables etc, and at the importance of organisation and planning, as well as management of risk and maintenance of quality.

The PRINCE2® foundation training will give you the skills and knowledge to progress to the Practitioner course and eventual qualification as a certified project manager - an essential qualification if you are serious about a career in project management.

As a project management professional, you already know how vital it is to be able to demonstrate your skills and show commitment to your career. The PRINCE2® Foundation Certificate is a decisive first step on that route.
