This course is only suitable if you have PRINCE2 Foundation 6th Edition and wish to do Practitioner on the same version. We do not recommend doing PRINCE2 7 Practitioner with PRINCE2 6 Foundation due the changes in the official PRINCE2 book.

PRINCE2 is one of the world’s most widely used project management methods. Based on best practice, the method can be applied to any project irrespective of its size, industry sector, geographic location or culture.

This PRINCE2 Practitioner course provides a definitive overview of the latest version of PRINCE2, the 6th Edition. We cover its four integrated components – the principles, themes, processes and project environment. We also look at management roles required in a PRINCE2 project and what management products must be created to ensure the project is delivered in a coordinated, consistent and transparent manner.

Using elements from QA’s Performance Based Learning approach, we help you to not only know PRINCE2, but also apply and tailor it for your projects. The PRINCE2 Practitioner course has been designed by award-winning instructional designers to ensure that it provides an interactive and engaging introduction to PRINCE2. Our experienced PRINCE2 experts explain the method through a wide range of individual and group exercises, case-study application, learning games and practice exam questions.
