PRINCE2 Practitioner

Suitable For:

You will need to provide evidence of holding either the 2009 or 2017 version of the PRINCE2 Foundation qualification ahead of attending this course.

After a short recap of PRINCE2, this Practitioner course addresses how the method might be applied and tailored to a real-life project. You should note that evening work will be assigned, which is not expected to exceed two hours per night.

Specific course content will include:

PRINCE2 Overview

The structure of the method and the guide will be revisited before we discuss the context within which a PRINCE2 project operates.

Principles

The seven PRINCE2 principles provide the framework for managing the project and are built on good practice developed from successful and failed projects.

Themes

The seven PRINCE2 themes are aspects of the project that must be continually addressed and integrated as the project journeys through its life cycle.

1. Business case
2. Organisation
3. Quality
4. Plans
5. Risk
6. Change
7. Progress

Processes

The seven PRINCE2 processes encompass the chronological activities that are required to direct, manage and deliver the project successfully. The activities include pre-project, initiation and delivery, and end with project closure.

• Starting up a Project
• Directing a Project
• Initiating a Project
• Controlling a Stage
• Managing Product Delivery
• Managing a Stage Boundary
• Closing a Project

What to Expect:

All KnowledgeAdd courses are currently run virtually via an online learning platform.

Learners can expect to be part of a safe and relaxed environment when attending our courses. We encourage learners to share their webcams with the group, as this creates a more open and engaging learning experience for many. However, we appreciate that not everyone is comfortable with this, and that is absolutely fine!

Learners attending this course must already hold a copy of the Managing Successful Projects in PRINCE2 manual – which would have been provided as part of the Foundation course. If you wish to attend the Practitioner course and no longer have a copy of the manual, please get in touch and we can arrange to provide a copy for a small fee. It is recommended that learners re-familiarise themselves with the manual prior to attending. In addition, there will be a requirement for two hours of evening self-study on the 1st and 2nd day of the course.

During the course, your trainer will guide you through the relevant content and ensure that everything you need to know in order to pass the exam is covered.

Following completion of the course, you will be issued with an exam voucher which can be redeemed anytime with PeopleCert online, within 12 months.
