this Workshop
Having successfully completed the PRINCE2 Foundation Certificate, you now have a sound command of the theory. However, theory alone is not enough – you must be able to apply your learning to a real project situation. That’s why the popular PRINCE2 Practitioner Certificate was created.
As a natural follow-up to the theory-based Foundation Certificate (on days 1 - 3), the PRINCE2 Practitioner Certificate 2-day course lets you apply your learning to a real-life scenario. Participants will gain a deeper insight into the PRINCE2 methodology.
This second of two certification courses will provide you with practical exercises and real life project scenarios to prepare you to write the Practitioner Certificate exam on your final day.
