Course Location: Live Streamed Interactive  - Classes limited to 10 participants

Typically course delegates book both the Foundation and Practitioner modules in the same week sequentially on-premise or the following week live streamed. However People Learning provides three options to allow for more flexibility. Whilst we do highly recommend (based on our experienced trainers' recommendations)  that delegates wishing to take both the Foundation and Practitioner qualification do not leave too big a gap between the courses we do offer THREE booking options for your convenience:

- Combined PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner - Read on and scroll down for booking 

- PRINCE2® Foundation only 

- PRINCE2® Practitioner only 

What is it about?

PRINCE2®is the most widely used project management framework in Europe. It describes and explains the comprehensive methodology involving best practice when managing projects, which are transferable across a wide range of industries.

Who is it for?

Managers, high and mid-level executives, engineers, businessmen and women are key individuals that will greatly benefit from PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Certification.

PRINCE2® Foundation

• PRINCE2® Foundation is an introduction to PRINCE2® training and covers details of the PRINCE2® methodology and terminology.
• This is a three day course and culminates in an examination and qualification.
• This is ideal for many people involved in projects, but not managing them, and is ideal for project supervisors, engineers and business analysts.

PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner

• The practitioner-level qualification provides all the tools you need to become a PRINCE2® expert.
• It incorporates the management of project risk, maintenance of effective communication channels and control of spend within budgets.
• Attention is given to practical participation in a case study environment, encompassing the most essential elements of a PRINCE2® project.
• The course covers the practical application of PRINCE2® to real projects, including how to deal with the inevitable times when projects do not smoothly go to plan.

What will I get out of it?

• Achieving the Practitioner level certification actively promotes efficiency, best practice and effective management of projects through the PRINCE2® framework.
• Facilitate in achieving career goals as a project manager.
• The PRINCE2® project management framework is easily transferable across a wide range of industries.
• PRINCE2® accreditation gives your employer peace of mind that you are able to conduct project management in accordance with established industry best practices.

In January 2017 the owners of PRINCE2®, AXELOS, announced the upcoming arrival of updated PRINCE2® guidance and Foundation and Practitioner examinations. Together, these form PRINCE2® 2017 and represent the first major update to PRINCE2® since 2009.

Why was PRINCE2® updated in 2017?

The success of PRINCE2® lies in its compilation of proven best practices in project management taken from academics, business professionals, and consultants across the years. Since its creation, at least two million PRINCE2®exams have been sat in over 150 countries worldwide. This is a clear testament to the value of PRINCE2® to individuals all over the world.

However, we must all recognize that the business world is always changing, and even something as tried and tested as PRINCE2® is not completely resistant to change. As ever with PRINCE2®, the update has been a collaborative approach amassing feedback from a wide range of PRINCE2® Practitioners; the people best positioned to assess PRINCE2®  through their continued application of the method across a range of working environments. This feedback has resulted in a thorough, evolutionary, update of PRINCE2®.

What were the main changes to PRINCE2®?
The PRINCE2® update saw a new edition of the PRINCE2® manual, plus updated training materials and Foundation and Practitioner examinations. These will be launched in mid-2017. This update does not change any of the fundamentals of the method – PRINCE2® ’s overall structure of seven principles, themes and processes remains unchanged. But the emphasis and treatments within these have shifted.

The main changes to the guidance are a greater emphasis on the following areas:

• tailoring PRINCE2®  to the needs of organizations and project environments;
• the principles that underpin PRINCE2® ;
• a greater link between the themes and principles;
• the restructuring of the ‘Themes’ guidance to accommodate specific examples of tailoring;
• the practical application of the method and guidance, with numerous examples, hints and tips.

PRINCE2® is a wealth of project management knowledge and Best Practice that needs to be conscientiously tailored to suit each individual PRINCE2® and their organization. The updated manual, training and examination will help you tailor PRINCE2® effectively to ensure you get the most out of the certification. Make sure you have the latest edition.

PRINCE2® has always been rooted in real-life experience. This update was intended to be trusted to provide practical, authoritative and relevant guidance to anyone managing a project in today’s environment.

What does the update mean for me?

If you are a qualified PRINCE2® Practitioner, under the old format and/or your certification has expired, we would highly recommend familiarising yourselves with the revised content available or understanding the updates in fine detail. There is also an FAQ sheet available to answer any specific questions you might have. You may, in any case be due to renew the Practitioner qualification.

This important update reinforces PRINCE2® ’s unrivalled reputation for Best Practice in project management. As always, the focus is on helping individuals and organisations across a range of job roles, sectors and geographies, to successfully manage projects.

Schedule:

All our current PRINCE2®  courses are approved to be held live-streamed online and this has proven to have been a successful transition since March 2020 before which most of the courses were delivered on-premise with some hybrid participation. Se can offer hybrid and on-premise training for bespoke/closed courses but the public online format enables us to offer an effective and viable delivery with international participation at affordable prices and with more frequency, without reducing quality.  We do care deeply that individuals are different however and we make sure all have the necessary connectivity and guidance before the live-streamed sessions start, individual attention, smaller groups, and a format more suitable for live-streamed training. There are of course benefits as well. Apart from the obvious safety aspects, no parking and transport hassles, your own favorite refreshments at home and more flexibility over when to take examinations etc. For our Malta-based learners, we are also able to deliver the official printed manuals and other printed materials in a smart fibre box as well as the electronic version, catering for different styles of learning. With more notice, we deliver manuals only to delegates based in other  EU  countries, EFTA and the UK. We are not able to deliver printed materials outside these regions but all benefit from e-manuals, pdfs, Take 2 exam insurance and exclusive access to a special Prince2 e-learning portal developed by our trainer.
