PRINCE2® 6th Edition Foundation Course

What is the PRINCE2® 6th Edition Foundation qualification?

PRINCE2® (PRojects IN Controlled Environments),6th Edition, is a globally recognised project management process model for managing a project in a controlled way. It can be applied to any kind of project in any industry, and includes the activities needed to direct, manage and deliver a project.

It is widely considered as the world’s leading project management method, and over 20,000 organisations are already benefiting from this trusted approach.

The PRINCE2 Foundation certification provides an introduction to the method, its principles, roles and themes, and its terminology.

PRINCE2 Overview

Who is the PRINCE2 qualification for?

The PRINCE2® Foundation Certification is suitable for anyone who wants to demonstrate an understanding of the PRINCE2 methodology. It is useful for those working, or wishing to work, as part of a project management team and anyone in a PRINCE2 supporting environment.

The PRINCE2 Foundation Certificate is also a prerequisite for entry to the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification course or the PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner course.

It will equally suit existing project managers, and also people from other functions looking to gain a deeper understanding of the project related conversations that are going on in their workplace.

Most delegates also go on to complete the Practitioner course.

PRINCE2 Foundation is usually the first step to achieving the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification and as such, does not have any entry requirements.

It is a good idea however to familiarise yourself with the method by completing the pre-course learning activities before the first day of training.

The PRINCE2 Foundation is also a prerequisite for the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner qualification.

This knowledge based qualification will cover the content of the latest version (the 6th edition) of the PRINCE2 method – including its principles, themes and processes.

Delegates will be able to make a more confident and effective contribution to projects, both as a member of the team, or as someone who needs to interact with a PRINCE2 project team.

Successful completion of this course will mean you will be awarded the PRINCE2 Foundation qualification.

  • "Sue was an excellent trainer and a nice person to be trained by too. Clearly has a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of not only the course but the whole discipline."
    Joe, APM PMQ course
  • "The use of whiteboards, real time example, breakout room and attempting the questions after every topic was really helpful. The enthusiastic tutor, made the course better."
    Anon, PRINCE2 Agile course
  • "The ideas and techniques learned in the course has changed my vision towards project management. It taught me various methods which I can apply in my career. I managed to learn new aspects of management cycle which I was unaware of. The course was very useful to me."
    Pawan, PRINCE2 Agile course
  • "I thoroughly enjoyed the course and got a good deal of useful information from it. I have carried out projects throughout my career, and a few years ago took the APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ), but carried out projects using my own methods. PRINCE2 is great in that it sets out a methodology for carrying out project management, and is the most widely recognised in the UK. Adding agile was the icing on the cake."
    Lara, PRINCE2 Agile
  • "Dhaliwal Narinder our trainer was excellent, adding insights from her vast experience to enhance our learning. We have tried Agile and Project Management separately, now i have the opportunity to try both again in my Faculty. Receiving this course online whilst locked down was perfect."
    Kevin, PRINCE2 Agile course
  • "The course was interesting and interactive, though a lot of information needed to be crammed in and consumed. Having done an Agile course a few years ago, this course helped to reinforce what was previously learned and put a project management theme to it. The instructor was very knowledgeable and explained the theory very well. The other participants were engaging and helped make the course interesting through the sharing of question and answer sessions to the relationship of past experiences."
    Ted, PRINCE2 Agile course
  • Experienced and well qualified training staff provide excellent support and are committed to improving trainees' experience.
  • "The pass rate is delivering more competent well-rounded, 'turn their hand to anything' engineers. All of the main courses delivered by MKC achieve notably higher success rates than the corresponding courses delivered by either Further Education (FE) or private training providers'."
