Is this course right for you?
The combined course is designed for learners who do not yet hold an accepted Practitioner prerequisite but want to progress through both PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner certification levels.
It is suitable for aspiring project managers, project team members and working project professionals who want to build a clear understanding of PRINCE2 before developing the ability to apply and tailor the method in practice.
There is no prerequisite for joining the combined course. You complete Foundation first, then progress to Practitioner.
What you'll learn
The combined course covers the current PRINCE2 Project Management Version 7 Foundation and Practitioner syllabuses. You first learn how the PRINCE2 method is structured and how its main elements work, then develop your ability to apply and tailor them to different project situations.
