Overview
Projects bring together resources, skills, technology and ideas to achieve business objectives and deliver business benefits. Good project management helps to ensure that risks are identified and managed appropriately, and objectives and benefits are achieved within budget, within time and to the required quality.
The Foundation course introduces the basics behind the PRINCE2® process-based method and prepares you for the test that leads to the PRINCE2® Foundation certificate.
The PRINCE2 Foundation - 6th Edition course at University of Westminster begins by exploring the increasing importance of projects in today’s world before discussing what a project is, why projects fail and what the role of the project manager is.
We will then introduce the structure of PRINCE2®, which consists of its principles, themes, processes and the idea of tailoring the method to its environment, before we expand on and explain each one of these elements in turn.
Your career
Project management is a modern career that is so generic it is applicable to any business sector. The presence of PRINCE2® certification has now become a minimum requirement for many CVs. For many, the certificate is a career-changing opportunity that leads to project management or consultancy work in one of the large UK or international government or non-government organisations.
The following sought-after skills will become part of your CV: PRINCE2® Foundation, product-based planning, risk management.
Accreditation
PRINCE2® is accredited by PeopleCert on behalf of AXELOS.
