Select your learning method
Learn proven project management methods
Our PRINCE2 Project Management Foundation & Practitioner (Version 7) course provides both levels of certification together, saving you time and ensuring consistent learning. You’ll build knowledge of the PRINCE2 framework at Foundation level, then progress to Practitioner, where you’ll apply it to projects of varying scale, complexity and context.
Learning objectives
You will learn how to:
- Describe the key concepts of projects and the PRINCE2 method
- Apply the principles that underpin PRINCE2 project management
- Explain the importance of people and leadership in project success
- Tailor PRINCE2 practices to different environments and challenges
- Adapt PRINCE2 processes to suit specific project scenarios
What you’ll learn
This course gives you a complete learning journey. At Foundation level, you’ll build a clear understanding of the PRINCE2 framework’s principles, practices and processes. At Practitioner, you’ll take this further by learning how to shape PRINCE2 to the needs of different organisations and industries and apply it in realistic project contexts.
Understanding the framework
You will explore the seven principles, practices and processes that form the foundation of PRINCE2. Understanding these elements gives you the tools to create a structured and consistent approach to project management. This knowledge is valuable because it helps you make informed decisions, maintain accountability and keep projects focused on outcomes, regardless of size or complexity.
Applying PRINCE2 Project Management in practice
Discover how to move beyond theory and apply PRINCE2 in real project environments. This includes tailoring the framework to different contexts, managing resources and addressing risks or changes as they arise. These skills are beneficial because they prepare you to lead projects with confidence, adapt effectively to challenges and ensure work delivers measurable results aligned to organisational needs.
Guiding projects through every lifecycle stage
You will follow a project from its initiation through to closure, learning how PRINCE2 guides activities, roles and documentation at every stage. This is valuable as it helps you to keep projects under control, resolve issues before they escalate and ensures outcomes contribute to wider business goals, giving you the ability to deliver successful projects consistently.
