PRINCE2® Foundation

This is a 3-day course which provides you with the training needed to pass the PRINCE2® Foundation exam on your first go, based on the new PRINCE2® 2017 syllabus. PRINCE2® Foundation introduces the basics of PRINCE2 including its key terminology and principles. The PRINCE2® Foundation course is directed at project managers and those wishing to break into project management. It is also suitable for other key members involved in the design, development and transfer of projects.

The purpose of the Foundation qualification is to prove that a delegate has enough information and understanding of the PRINCE2® methodologies to be able to work well in a project management team. The PRINCE2® certification will enable you to participate in the PRINCE2® Practitioner course if you wish to do so.

What happens after PRINCE2® Foundation?

After you have successfully passed the PRINCE2® Foundation exam, you will receive your PRINCE2® Foundation certificate and you will be eligible to take the more advanced PRINCE2® Practitioner qualification. Remember that you can only be fully PRINCE2® qualified once you have completed both the Foundation & Practitioner exams. You can also be provided with the option to take both Foundation & Practitioner courses together which can be hugely beneficial and only lasts for 5-days. Please keep in mind that you have to pass the PRINCE2® Foundation exam before taking the upgraded practitioner course. Upon completion of both the PRINCE2® Foundation and PRINCE2® Practitioner exam, you will be fully PRINCE2® qualified!

PRINCE2® Foundation Exam

It is important to be aware that AXELOS, (the company responsible for developing and enhancing best practice techniques) have changed the PRINCE2® examinations due to the PRINCE2® 2017 update.

The PRINCE2® 2017 Foundation exam is formatted like so:

• Focuses on the fundamentals of the project management methodology
• Multiple choice
• Lasts for 1 hour
• The pass mark is 55%
• 60 questions
• Takes place on the third and final day of the course at 3 pm.

PRINCE2® Training Options

Here at Datrix Training, we are able to provide the PRINCE2® Foundation course in a variety of ways. The classroom courses are very popular as you will have an experienced trainer to guide you throughout the training. The venues are also spectacular and you also have the chance to build relationships with other people. The online training option is a very flexible method when learning the fundamentals of PRINCE2®. With this option, you are able to learn in your own home without the hassle of travelling long distances. We also provide an onsite training option which is very popular for businesses who want a group of people trained at the same time. Our expert trainers will travel to your company and teach you the PRINCE2® 2017 methodologies which will help your employees create successful projects for your business.

PRINCE2® Foundation - Classroom 

PRINCE2® training in the classroom is the most popular type of training of the three training formats that Datrix Training has to offer. One major factor that makes this such a popular format is the personal interaction that candidates are provided with. Our trainers have over 10 years of experience in the PRINCE2® techniques and can offer you expert skills, advice and knowledge in thorough detail. Our trainers will support you with anything you need throughout the training so that you understand the full fundamentals of the PRINCE2® course.

Another factor that significantly increases the effectiveness of classroom training during the PRINCE2® Foundation certification, is that there are other candidates working beside you. This implies that there are people learning at the same pace as you and who can share and discuss ideas between each other. It is beneficial to be surrounded by like-minded people with a similar goal to you, whilst still being uncompetitive whilst doing your PRINCE2® Foundation course. Being surrounded by a variety of experienced and new managers means that you can work together to summarise the most effective methods and terminology that can make your project a success. Having other opinions helps you to enhance your skills such as working productively as a team and understanding your colleague’s thought processes throughout the project. All of this information is condensed into 3-days you allow you the chance to gain a PRINCE2® Foundation certificate in the quickest time possible and apply this to new controlled environments.

PRINCE2® Foundation - Online/E-Learning

Learning the PRINCE2® techniques online has many advantages. You can study the project management method in your own home and anywhere else that has the internet. The online courses last for 90-days from the purchase date. This gives you plenty of time to learn the foundation qualification and take the PRINCE2® exam with ease. The online courses are also cheaper than the classroom courses but you do lose that human interaction with a highly qualified PRINCE2® practitioner. Although there are many advantages to carrying out the PRINCE2® Foundation course online we do feel that it is more beneficial to participate in a classroom environment. This way you will have the support and guidance of a PRINCE2® instructor and like-minded individuals during your 3-day course. It can often be difficult to motivate yourself from home also, therefore it may take longer to gain your PRINCE2® Foundation certificate from home.

PRINCE2® Foundation - Onsite Learning

PRINCE2® Foundation onsite learning is a training option that is targeted for businesses who wish to train multiple people from their organisation at the same time. The idea of this method is that the trainer comes to your company and teaches your staff the course. This can be very beneficial to project managers who are already experienced and wish to train their staff. If your business is looking to develop multiple project managers at the same time, then PRINCE2® Foundation onsite learning is the perfect method to use. Our skilled PRINCE2® instructors can come to your workplace and train your up-and-coming project managers to the highest quality.
