PRINCE2® Online TrainingOver the past 2 decades PRINCE2® (PRojects IN Controlled Environments version 2) has been developed by the UK Government and internationally as the best practice project management method. PRINCE2 provides you with a complete set end to end process and the latest version recognises scaling for the needs of your project or organisation.
PRINCE2 OverviewThe Project Results approach does not just focus on passing the exams but also on applying PRINCE2 after course completion. Paul Sutton, from Project Results uses many practical examples from his 20 years of experience as a hands-on project manager and adjusts the course delivery to meet the needs of the attendees.
PRINCE2 is a Methodology which means it provides you with guidance on the steps you need to take to run a project and the things you need to be aware of and pay attention to. It is very strong on the concepts of projects sitting under a governance and control framework and being underpinned by a business case. This is to ensure that projects deliver what the sponsoring organisation wants in a way which that sponsoring organisation is comfortable with.
In the latest release (2017 Edition) it introduces the concepts of "Tailoring" and "Embedding". Tailoring is where it is "scaled to fit" and Embedding is where it is fitted in with organisational processes. Training is based upon "Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2" - 2017 Edition manual. This is an easy to read guide which will become your future project management reference. PRINCE2 is based on Principles (project management truths), Themes (the things you focus on) and Processes (project steps - see the diagram). We take you through these to give you a complete picture of the project management process. PRINCE2 is becoming the de-facto standard in New Zealand and Australia. |

Why use PRINCE2?
Because projects frequently fail to deliver expected benefits. Gartner studies suggest that 75% of projects are considered to be failures by those responsible for initiating them. Failure means that the solutions fundamentally did not do what was agreed or they missed deadlines and/or came in well over budget. More importantly, they failed to achieve the desired investment objectives and deliver expected benefits.
PRINCE2 Application in Aotearoa/ New Zealand
Paul has an active consulting practice in Project Management and PRINCE2. PRINCE2 talks about "Tailoring" which should include "Sizing to Fit" but often Paul sees organisations "Upsizing" when what was needed was "Downsizing". In response to this Paul has developed "PRINCE2 Lite" which is a specific approach applicable to the size and scope of organisations in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Paul's training is threaded with real life examples, tools and techniques which are uniquely focused to the challenges of running projects in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

PRINCE2 Re-Registration
When you get your PRINCE2 Foundation certification that is permanent. Great news. PRINCE2 Practitioner certification is slightly different. When you get that you can call yourself a "Registered PRINCE2 Practitioner" for 3 years and after that you can only call yourself a "PRINCE2 Practitioner"
Professional Recognition
For those who want to maintain the professional recognition that being a "Registered PRINCE2 Practitioner" brings you will need to resit the Practitioner exam
Timing
You retain your "Registered PRINCE2 Practitioner" status for 3-5 years (depending upon the version). After this you will need to resit the Practitioner exam again . Remember you can't call yourself a "Registered PRINCE2 Practitioner" once your status expires". You will need to determine the professional implications of this on you.
Course Format
Our PRINCE2 Registration course is 2 days long and follows the following format
The classroom courses are run in quality venues with full catering. All course material is provided during the course and may be provided prior to the course, if requested.

Pre-course
Once you register you are given access to our Foundation course material. This allows you to refresh yourself on PRINCE2 and be ready for day 1.
Day 1
Day 1 refreshes you in the PRINCE2 curriculum. It will be action packed because we are condensing 2.75 days of the Foundation course into 1 however this is achievable because we are simply refreshing what you learnt when you studied for Foundation and Practitioner.
Between Day 1 and 2
At the end of Day 1 we take you through Practitioner exam techniques. Between the 2 days you will complete the AXELOS sample exams. We give you the full Practitioner exams as they are longer and give you more questions to practice. There are two in total and each has a duration of 2.5 hours. So you can expect to spend at least 5 hours on this plus more time for revision. For those who want more Geoff has produced a large collection of Practitioner style exam questions as part of our Practitioner course and we let you have these.
Day 2
Day 2 is a full. In the first part we review you exam practice and focus on questions and curriculum areas you are unsure of. The 2.5 hour exam is sat in the afternoon of this course.
What is included
Included is:-
- Full Foundation course material,
- Our unique quick reference guide,
- Full Practitioner AXELOS sample exams,
- Inspiring Projects sample exams (as required),
- Exam fees,
- Post course access to our unique set of templates and guides.
Advantages of approach
Our experience is that the 1.5 day format is a good trade off of time, cost and outcomes. Others may run longer courses but we think this is an overkill. As a person who has previously passed Practitioner we expect you to have little trouble refreshing yourself on PRINCE2 and passing the exam.
Other courses simply place you on components of their standard Foundation and Practitioner offerings. We think that this is going to give you too much of the wrong information for re-registration. Our course is targeted specifically at PRINCE2 Practitioner Re-registration
