A lasting change for deeper learning with PRINCE2® 7
In the area of project management, the PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) methodology has long been regarded as a comprehensive framework and serves as an introduction to the subject matter for many prospective project managers.
With the publication of the 7th edition in September, there has been an exciting development: The PRINCE2 Foundation course can now be offered either as a 2 or 3-day seminar (instead of exclusively as a 2-day training course as before). This change has prompted positive responses from many PRINCE2 experts, as it promises to solve a long-standing challenge of delivering a wealth of content in a limited time frame.
We are now offering you both options:
PRINCE2 7 Foundation (Express) - 2 days
This shorter version is suitable for participants who already have experience in project management or project management and would like to learn more about the PRINCE2 framework and the PRINCE2 method or who would like to obtain the appropriate certification quickly and effectively.
PRINCE2 7 Foundation (Standard) - 3 days
This course is aimed at beginners in the world of project management who want to acquire detailed knowledge of the PRINCE2 framework and the PRINCE2 method. Based on practical examples, this course offers an excellent opportunity to discover and understand PRINCE2 7 in all its facets. The course includes intensive exam preparation for PRINCE2 7 certification.
Both seminar variants conclude with the internationally recognized PRINCE2 7 Foundation certification exam.
An enriching learning experience
For participants who have embarked on the PRINCE2 Foundation journey in the past without any previous knowledge, the pace of the two-day Foundation course may have felt like sprinting through a vast landscape of concepts and creating a sense of “information overload.” The 3-day extension allows learners to dive deeper into the subject matter without time pressure.
Deepening into the core components
The foundation of PRINCE2 is based on a set of core principles, practices, and processes that define the methodology. All the foundations of the method are discussed in a 2-day course, but in the 3-day seminar, the core components can be deepened at a comfortable pace. Learners can engage in discussions, ask questions, and develop a comprehensive understanding of how these elements work together to create a robust project management methodology.
Practical application and exchange of experience
One of the most valuable aspects of learning is the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real scenarios. The 3-day PRINCE2 Foundation course offers plenty of space for practical exercises and case studies. Participants can simulate project scenarios, make decisions based on PRINCE2 principles, and learn first-hand how the methodology can be put into practice.
In addition, the extended course duration promotes the exchange of experience among participants. Collaboration and collegial learning are essential for mastering project management concepts. The additional day allows for more in-depth discussions and the exchange of personal experiences, so that participants can learn not only from the lecturers but also from the other participants.
Improved content retention
In the fast-paced world of learning, retaining content can often be a challenge. The extension of the PRINCE2 Foundation course to 3 days addresses this issue by giving learners more opportunities to deepen their knowledge. With additional time to review, discuss, and apply the concepts, participants can consolidate their understanding and ensure that the acquired knowledge is available long after the course has ended.
Concluding Considerations
The decision to extend the PRINCE2 Foundation course from 2 to 3 days represents a significant change in the learning experience. This change reflects an effort to give participants a deeper, lasting understanding of the intricacies of the methodology. The extended duration offers the opportunity to comprehensively research the principles, practices and processes, to promote practical application and to enable a valuable exchange of experience.
Aspiring project managers, current practitioners, and those looking to improve their project management skills are likely to find the extended course duration a welcome change. With the opportunity to progress through the PRINCE2 framework at a more relaxed pace, learners can expect a richer and more rewarding journey of mastering this valued project management methodology.
Nevertheless, the 2-day express course is also justified - for participants who already have previous knowledge or participants who only have a limited time frame for training.
