Enrol in the programmeExplore curriculumUnderstand how structured project delivery works.
PRINCE2® 7th Edition Foundation introduces a structured approach to managing projects. It helps learners understand the language, concepts, principles, practices and processes used within the PRINCE2® project management method.
The programme is designed to help professionals understand how project governance, roles, responsibilities, planning, risk, quality, issues and progress management fit together.
The objective is not simply to memorise a framework.
It is to understand how structured project management supports better decisions and controlled delivery.
A common language for project delivery.
Projects operate within constraints involving time, cost, quality, scope, risk, resources and organisational priorities. A structured project management method provides a common way to organise and govern that work.
PRINCE2® provides a methodical approach that can be adapted to different project environments and organisational contexts.
Built for professionals involved in projects.
The Foundation programme can be useful for professionals entering project environments as well as experienced team members looking to formalise their project management knowledge.
