What is the PRINCE2® 7 Foundation course?

PRINCE2® (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) 7th edition, is an evolution of the globally recognised project management process model for managing a project. It is an adaptable and flexible method that can be tailored to any kind of project in any sector or industry and includes the activities needed to direct, manage and deliver a project. The Foundation certification provides an introduction to project management concepts and an understanding of the method, principles, roles, practices and terminology of PRINCE2®.

What is the difference between PRINCE2® 6th edition and 7th edition?

The new 7th edition remains aligned to the 6th edition but has introduced new concepts such as:

Focus on people management and leading successful teams
Utilisation of data and digital management tools in projects
Integrated compatibility with agile, ITIL and lean concepts
Sustainability and alignment to UN sustainable development goals
Updated terminology and the key concepts used in PRINCE2® project management.

Who is this 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.

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

The PRINCE2® Foundation certificate is a prerequisite for entry to the PRINCE2® 7 Practitioner qualification course or the PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner course. Most delegates also go on to complete the PRINCE2® Practitioner 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.
