PRINCE2 Foundation: the solid foundation
For who?
PRINCE2 Foundation is for project employees, team members or upcoming project leaders who want to learn the methodology from the ground up. Do you have little or no experience with project management? Then this is the ideal start.
What are you learning?
During the PRINCE2 Foundation training you will be introduced to the basic principles, themes and processes of PRINCE2. You will discover how a project is structured and learn which documents and reports are essential to maintain an overview. Although the focus here is mainly on understanding and theory, you will often already gain insight into how you can use PRINCE2 elements in practice.
Why choose Foundation?
This training forms the foundation for the rest of your PRINCE2 journey. Many organizations require at least a Foundation certificate before you start working as a project manager. This shows that you have the necessary basic knowledge and know how projects are organized according to PRINCE2.
PRINCE2 Practitioner: deepening and application
For who?
Do you already have a PRINCE2 Foundation certificate? Or do you have sufficient (practical) experience with project management and do you want to specialize further? Then PRINCE2 Practitioner is the logical next step.
What are you learning?
PRINCE2 Practitioner is all about the practical application of the methodology. You will learn how to flexibly use PRINCE2 in various project scenarios and what considerations you make as a project manager. Think of determining roles in your team, setting up effective risk management and monitoring the Business Case throughout the project.
Why choose Practitioner?
With PRINCE2 Practitioner you demonstrate that you not only understand the theory, but can also apply it in practice. This certificate is a valuable addition to your CV and increases your credibility as a project professional. Employers see that you are able to lead projects successfully, even if circumstances change or the project suddenly needs to be scaled up.
PRINCE2 Fasttrack: one combined trajectory
For who?
Do you already have some project experience and do you want to go through both the Foundation and Practitioner material in one intensive program? Then PRINCE2 Fasttrack is definitely worth considering. This program is ideal for those who want to achieve results quickly without compromising on quality.
What are you learning?
The Fasttrack combines the theory of Foundation with the in-depth practical exercises of Practitioner. You will go through the entire PRINCE2 framework in one continuous program. This allows you to immediately link theory and practice. The compact, intensive setup does require dedication and good planning, but the advantage is that you can be certified at both levels more quickly.
Why choose Fasttrack?
With one trajectory you are able to master PRINCE2 in both theory and practice. This approach saves time, because you do not first follow the Foundation course and then start a new training for Practitioner. In addition, the learning material remains fresh in the memory, so that you continue seamlessly and better understand the connection between Foundation and Practitioner subjects.
Which path is right for you?
The choice between Foundation, Practitioner and Fasttrack mainly depends on your experience, learning preference and career goals. Are you new to project management or do you just want a solid start? Then Foundation is the best option. Do you want more depth and can demonstrate that you can really apply PRINCE2? Then go for Practitioner. Do you have more project experience and do you want to take it all in one go? Then the Fasttrack is the fastest way to get certified at both levels.
