PRINCE2® Project Management Practitioner (Version 7)

The PRINCE2® Project Management Practitioner (Version 7) course builds on Foundation-level knowledge and prepares participants to apply the method in realistic project situations and tailor it to the needs of a specific project. The emphasis is on judgement and well-founded decisions rather than on recalling terms.

At the heart of the course is a three-part practical workshop in which participants work on the same case study throughout. At different points in the case-study project, they decide how the method should be applied and explain the reasoning behind their choices. The programme also includes a sample exam and practical advice for the open-book exam.

The two-day (14 contact hours) programme is a PeopleCert-accredited training course that also prepares participants for the official PRINCE2® Project Management Practitioner (Version 7) exam.

After Foundation, the next step is making the method work on real projects, and that is exactly what the Practitioner course is built around: using a case study, it shows how PRINCE2® can be applied in a specific situation and tailored to a project’s scale, risks and organisational environment. After passing the Practitioner exam, participants can start applying the method on a real project with appropriate direction.

What skills and perspectives does it provide?

Through the course, participants will be able to:

• apply the PRINCE2® principles, practices and processes to a specific project situation
• tailor the method to the scale, complexity and organisational environment of a project
• judge which step or decision fits the method in a given situation, and explain why
• map roles and responsibilities onto a real project organisation
• assess a project’s business case, plans and risks and recommend the next step on that basis
• use the official PRINCE2® book efficiently in the open-book exam and in day-to-day work
