PRINCE2® is one of the world’s leading project management methods. In today’s fast-paced business world, effective project management is crucial. As projects become more complex, organizations are constantly looking for professionals with the right skills and knowledge to lead them to success.

Methods such as PRINCE2® are therefore in great demand on the job market and in professional life. Knowledge in this area is increasingly becoming an integral part of job profiles. With a PRINCE2® certification, you can build up important skills as a beginner or professional.

Other project management methods

PRINCE2® simply explained

PRINCE stands for “PRojects IN Controlled Environments” and was initially developed as a set of rules for IT projects. PRINCE2® is a project management method that is now trained, certified and used worldwide. Project management certifications are highly sought after by employers. This knowledge is also increasingly mentioned as a requirement in job advertisements for project management jobs.

The more complex a project, the more important it is to organize the project well and approach the package of tasks systematically. Alongside IPMA and PMP, PRINCE2® is one of the three leading project management certifications worldwide.

What is the advantage of PRINCE2®?

A major advantage of PRINCE2® is that the process-based method can be applied to practically any project in any environment. PRINCE2® makes recommendations for each phase from the start to the end of the project. As these also address individual roles, everyone involved in the project knows what they have to do and when.

Based on the guidelines and best practices, you will lead the project. PRINCE2® helps you to manage risks and save time and money at the same time. In addition to comprehensive methodological knowledge, PRINCE2® training courses will help you build up skills such as problem-solving and communication skills, which will benefit you not only in project management.

The step-by-step PRINCE2® certification: Foundation and Practitioner

The PRINCE2® certification consists of two different qualification levels:

• Foundation
• Practitioner

The Foundation certification is the introduction to the PRINCE2® method. It provides a basic introduction to the principles, topics and processes of PRINCE2®. No project management experience is required for this course. In addition to basic knowledge, you will acquire important project management skills. With your new know-how, you will be able to work within a team on projects that are managed on the basis of the PRINCE2® method.

The Practitioner certification then focuses on implementation in specific project situations. You will learn how to apply the PRINCE2® method to the requirements, problems and individual phases of a specific project. With this practical knowledge of PRINCE2® you can already manage simple projects in a structured way. Prerequisite is the successful Foundation exam or the acquisition of one of the IPMA and PMI certificates.

We prepare you for both exams – Foundation and Practitioner – in one step. In this way, you can obtain two recognized PRINCE2® certificates with one course.
