The PRINCE2™ 5 day Practitioners Course provides full coverage of PRINCE 2™ and its application to projects and project management. Delegates will sit both the Foundation and the Practitioners examinations during the course. The course comprises a mixture of input sessions, group exercises and examination-based practical work. During the course, delegates will undertake a number of mock examinations and gain feedback on their progress towards eventual success. The Foundation level measures whether a candidate would be able to act as an informed member of a project management team using the PRINCE2™ method within a project environment supporting PRINCE 2™. Candidates need to show that they understand the principles and terminology of the method. The Practitioners level aims to assess whether a candidate would be able to apply PRINCE 2™ to the running and managing of a project within an environment supporting PRINCE2™. Candidates need to exhibit the competence required for the Foundation qualification, and show that they can apply and tune PRINCE 2™ to address the needs and problems of a specific project scenario.
