Why is this course right for you?

PRINCE2 is the world's most respected and widely-used project management method.

It's a prerequisite for many project management careers, and is used across 111 countries by both public and private sector organisations, including the UK government.

It defines a logical, strategic step-by-step approach to successful project management that can be adapted to projects of any size, type, complexity, industry or location, ensuring that you deliver high-quality projects that are on time and within budget, every time.

In this flexible online PRINCE2 2017 Foundation course, you'll master the essentials of the PRINCE2 method, learning at your own pace with unlimited support from your personal PRINCE2 tutor.

Course Details

Entry requirements

You don't need any experience or qualifications to enrol on this introductory PRINCE2 course, but some experience of working with a project environment would be helpful.

If you already hold a project management qualification, you might be able to skip this level and go straight to the advanced PRINCE2 Practitioner course.

If English is your second language, we recommend you have an IELTS 6.5/ESOL Level 2 or equivalent, but we're happy to review your case on an individual basis.

PRINCE2 Practitioner will teach you to adapt and apply the PRINCE2 framework to varied projects and allow you to become a registered PRINCE2 Practitioner.

International Project Management Association (IPMA):

IPMA Level A (Certified Projects Director)
IPMA Level B® (Certified Senior Project Manager)

After passing the Foundation exam, your Foundation Certification will be valid forever.

After passing the Practitioner exam, you'll be a PRINCE2® Registered Practitioner for 3 years as long as you keep up your My PRINCE2 membership subscription. (1 year of membership is included in your course fees, after which you'll pay £50 per year.)

You can maintain your Registered Practitioner status after 3 years by:

Retaking the Practitioner exam, AND
Maintaining your PRINCE2 digital badge through your My PRINCE2 subscription. You'll need to record 20 CPD points per year in specified categories to be eligible.

If you don't maintain your Registered Practitioner status, you'll still be PRINCE2 qualified and can use 'PRINCE2® Practitioner' (rather than 'PRINCE2® Registered Practitioner') on your CV, business cards, and elsewhere.
