The purpose of the PRINCE2® 7th Edition Foundation training program is to equip participants with a fundamental grasp of modern project management, by diving deep into the PRINCE2® project management method. It also aims to assist participants in their preparation for the PRINCE2® Foundation examination, which includes a web proctored exam voucher as part of the course fee.

This course is aligned with the 7th Edition syllabus by PeopleCert, with continued focus on the traditional challenges of project management, and awareness for today’s environment in which projects are conducted, with a people-centric approach and new project management approaches (Change Management Approach, Commercial Management Approach, Sustainability Management Approach and Data Management Approach).

The course delves into the PRINCE2® framework, its practical application in real-world projects and the Foundation Exam.

PRINCE2® has solidified its position as the foremost approach to project management. It is versatile and can be adapted to various project types, emphasizing tailoring and business alignment. Organizations that have embraced PRINCE2® have attested to heightened customer satisfaction throughout project lifecycles, cost reduction, and increased realization of project deliverable benefits.
