Course: PRINCE2 Conversion 3 Days

This workshop is designed for delegates who have already passed the Foundation exam or who have completed a Foundation course and are ready to sit the Foundation exam. The course covers the PRINCE2TM method building on Foundation knowledge and progressing to Practitioner level. Project board members, project managers, team leaders, project support and people working  towards or within a PRINCE2TM project environment will benefit from attending this workshop.

Pre-requisites
Delegates attending the 3-day PRINCE2TM Practitioner workshop are expected to have achieved the PRINCE2TM Foundation certificate. In exceptional circumstances where a delegate is able to demonstrate relevant experience and a Foundation level of PRINCE2TM knowledge they may be admitted to the course. These delegates will undertake the Foundation exam on the first day of the course.

Objectives

Attendance on this workshop will enable delegates to:

• Develop their understanding of the PRINCE2TM components, processes, products and techniques
• Have the confidence and competence to practice the method in a live project environment
• Consider the practical application issues in using and tailoring PRINCE2TM
• Develop their knowledge to the level that enables success in the PRINCE2TM practitioner examination.

Format

The course will be delivered using a mixture of trainer-led discussion using slides and sample exam questions as a vehicle for confirming understanding and practical application of the elements of
the PRINCE2TM method. The slides and discussion will be supplemented by exercises to consolidate the knowledge gained. On each evening there will be homework – delegates are asked to
answer sample Practitioner questions (approx. 1 hour per evening minimum). If there are any delegates who have not yet passed the Foundation exam, this will be taken at 4pm on the
first day. The Practitioner exam starts at 1pm on the third day. Delegates will require a copy of the PRINCE2TM manual which can be ordered when booking the course.
