Organizations or Individuals seeing the need for a controlled approach to managing projects.

The Foundation level measures whether a student would be able to act as an informed member of a project management team using the PRINCE2 method within a project environment supporting PRINCE2. The course comprises a mixture of input sessions, group exercises and examination based practical work. All delegates are encouraged to actively participate during the practical sessions to gain the full benefit during the training. During the course, delegates will undertake a number of mock examinations and gain feedback on the progress towards eventual success. To prepare effectively for the PRINCE2 Foundation exam, delegates should be prepared to undertake revision and exam preparation work in the evening.
