PRINCE2® Course Format"Our PRINCE2 courses are certified by the examination body, PEOPLECERT. This certification covers the PRINCE2 content as well as preparation for the Foundation and Practitioner exams and the trainers.
The course is broken into two components. PRINCE2 Foundation and PRINCE2 Practitioner. The Foundation course gives you a complete overview of the method and passing the exam will give you the Foundation qualification. The Practitioner course gives you a more in-depth application of the method and upon passing the exam you can call yourself a "PRINCE2 Registered Practitioner" |
|
The classroom PRINCE2 Foundation course is 3 days long and PRINCE Practitioner another 2 days. This makes a total of 5 days if you want to do both Foundation and Practitioner.
Course Options
We offer both classroom and online training. We offer a public classroom schedule in Wellington, Dunedin and in-house classroom training at any New Zealand location.

Foundation Structure and Content
Foundation Structure
Once you register for the course you are sent the “Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 2017 Edition” manual and pre-course exercises and uniquely the full online course. At least 10 hours work prior to the course is highly recommended. This pre-course work is one of the key reasons for or high success rates.
The Foundation component gives you the full PRINCE2 curriculum and is delivered through presentations, discussions, exercises and exam practice. The course is intensive, running from 8:30 to 5:00 with a recommended additional 2 hours of exam practice each evening.
As outlined above the course consists of presentations, discussions, small group exercises. We also have our own exam style questions and there are two sample exams supplied by AXELOS. We also have crosswords for those that like these along with an extensive range of templates and exemplars. We provide you with copies of all the course material and quick reference guides. The exercises are scenario based which not only prepares you for the the exam but also real world application of PRINCE2.

Practitioner Structure and Content
Practitioner Structure
You will be given the Practitioner courseware at the end of the Foundation course or upon registration (if you have already completed Foundation). You can then get straight onto practising the AXELOS sample exam, which is homework for the first night.
While other providers just focus on passing the exam we have an equal focus on applying PRINCE2. To do this we have both exam practice and scenario based exercises with the complexity and nuances inherent in real life projects (so no rote answers). The first day focuses on on the scenario and you work through a number of exercises. This is done in small groups and as a whole class.
Towards the end of the first day we start to focus on the exam. We cover all of the question types and set candidates up for over night exam practice. At the beginning of the second day we go through queries and clarifications from the previous nights work. The remainder of the second morning is both individual and group exam practice.
