PRINCE2® 6th Edition Foundation Virtual
Getting a solid understanding of the basics of project management with PRINCE2 Foundation has never been easier. If you want the interactivity and one-to-one tutoring of a classroom environment, but you still want the flexibility of studying from home, then our virtual courses are just the thing!
AXELOS (the PRINCE2 accrediting body) has officially changed the name of ‘PRINCE2 2017’ to ‘PRINCE2 6th edition’. The qualification itself has not changed, and still conforms to the 2017 syllabus.
About the course

It helps you work out who should be involved and what they will be responsible for.

This course fully conforms to the PRINCE2 6th Edition syllabus.
