Are you seeking an internationally recognised project management certification?
Does your company seek assurance that project managers have the required knowledge and competencies to manage a project according to best practices?
PRINCE2 courses increase your ability to manage projects and associated risks more effectively.
The two PRINCE2 certification levels are: PRINCE2 Foundation and PRINCE2 Practitioner.
Foundation certification demonstrates an understanding of how the method operates. The Practitioner certification demonstrates competency in applying and adapting the method to different project situations and scenarios.
Foundation certification is achieved by successfully completing the PRINCE2 Foundation exam. Practitioner certification is achieved by successfully completing the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam.
Both Foundation and Practitioner exams are completed online following the completion of the training. Exams are taken online from candidate’s own location using a webcam exam proctor, where an invigilator will be observing them take the exam. Upon registering for an exam, delegates are able to choose from available dates/times that suit them best over a 24/7 service.
Successfully completing the Foundation exam is a pre-requisite to completing the Practitioner exam.
