PRINCE2® 2009 Foundation and Practitioner Course
The PRINCE2 2009 Foundation and Practitioner course will focus on equipping the delegate with a detailed knowledge of the PRINCE2 method including the seven principles, seven processes and seven themes central to running a project using this method. The successful completion of the Foundation & Practitioner Exam will give the delegate a recognised Practitioner qualification. This course lays a firm grounding for the delegate to apply the PRINCE2 method to projects in the workplace. This course is delivered using accelerated learning techniques which create fun, interactive and interesting training environments. We provide pre-course materials and activities to enable delegates to prepare themselves for the course so that they can take full advantage of the trainer’s knowledge and guidance.
