Lessons

PRojects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2) provides common processes, management products, roles, and language for use throughout an organization's projects. It provides an easily tailored and scalable method for the management of all types of projects. This method is the de facto standard for Project Management and is practiced worldwide.

This course is aimed at people who work, or would like to work, on projects on a daily basis. It is designed to provide you with that information and working-level understanding of structured project management, as presented in PRINCE2.

Sample exams and a thorough review of course materials during the course help you prepare for taking and passing the PRINCE2 Foundation exam.

The PRINCE2 Foundation exam will be offered on the last day of class. It consists of 75 multiple-choice questions, five of which are marked as trial and not counted in your score. To pass, you must receive a score of 50% (35 out of 70).
