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.
