PRINCE2 Foundation training courses in Liverpool:
PRINCE2 Foundation Course Description
At the end of the PRINCE2 Foundation training course, a delegate will be able to act as an informed member of a project team and be able to contribute to the creation of management documents and reports.  Delegates will be able to be given tasks to complete within the project and understand where that work fits with the overall scheme of the larger project.
A successful candidate should understand the structure and key terminology of the method. Specifically, the successful candidate should understand:-
The characteristics and context of a project and the benefits of adopting PRINCE2
The purpose of the PRINCE2 roles, management products and themes
The PRINCE2 principles
The purpose, objectives and context of the PRINCE2 processes.
Accreditation
This course leads to the PRINCE2 Foundation level certification.  Delegates are prepared for the Foundation examination and will normally take this examination on the third day of the course.  The Foundation qualification is a pre-requisite for the Practitioner examination.
For further information, please visit our Accreditation page.
Pre-Requisites and Pre-Course Preparation
There are no pre-requisites for this course.
Due to exceptionally intensive nature of this course, there is between 6 and 15 hours of pre-course preparation to be completed and it is vital to the success of the course that this work is completed.  The pace of the course is unrelenting and there will be no opportunity during the course itself to try and catch up.  The actual time taken by each delegate will vary enormously and will depend on the individual, their learning style, existing knowledge or skills, and project management experience.
In addition, delegates should allow for 2 to 3 hours of evening work on each of the two evenings during the course.  This is to allow consolidation of the learning provided during the day and to provide sufficient practice with the sample examination questions provided in order to pass.
