Skills You Will Master in This Programme
From Principles to Real Project Application
This PRINCE2 training builds method knowledge, applied delivery skills and readiness for both PeopleCert exams. By the end, you can plan, control and tailor projects using the PRINCE2 7 principles, practices and processes.
PRINCE2 7 Principles in Practice
You will learn the seven PRINCE2 principles, from continued business justification to managing by exception and tailoring, and how they underpin every controlled project. This is the foundation for both the Foundation and Practitioner exams and for leading real projects with structure.
The Seven Practices Applied
Work through the seven PRINCE2 practices: business case, organising, plans, quality, risk, issues and progress, along with the management products each produces. You learn how to define, control and report on projects so delivery stays on track.
The Seven Processes End to End
Follow a project from Starting Up and Initiating through Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing a Stage Boundary and Closing a Project. You learn who does what at each step and how the processes connect across the lifecycle.
People and Leadership Capability
Build the People skills that are new to PRINCE2 7: leadership styles, stakeholder engagement, team dynamics and change management. You learn to lead people, not just manage plans, reflecting the human side of successful delivery.
Tailoring PRINCE2 to Real Projects
Learn to scale and adapt PRINCE2 to a project's size, complexity, risk and delivery approach, including hybrid and agile contexts. This Practitioner-level skill lets you apply the method sensibly rather than following it by rote.
Exam Technique for Both Levels
Prepare for the closed-book Foundation exam and the open-book, scenario-based Practitioner exam with practice questions, mock exams and manual-navigation technique. You learn how to manage time and read questions to pass both with confidence.

"It was great interactive session."
"Training structure and material are professional. Trainer is also professional. The only drawback I found is time management. "
"The course is very well organized into four days and content is presented in a way that is easy to digest. Thanks."
"I recently completed the PRINCE2 Foundation course at Invensis, and I must express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable learning experience. The course was not just informative but truly transformative, thanks to our instructor, Sathish. From the onset, Sathish demonstrated a profound understanding of the PRINCE2 methodology, setting a solid foundation for us to build our knowledge. What distinguished his teaching style was his consistent use of real-world examples to illustrate complex concepts. These examples were not just theoretical but drawn from his vast experience, making the lessons practical and relatable. This approach not only enhanced our understanding but also stimulated our ability to think critically about how to apply PRINCE2 principles in various scenarios. Sathish's commitment to sharing his knowledge was evident in every session. He went above and beyond the course material, offering insights into the nuances of project management that can only be gleaned from someone who has navigated the field extensively. His openness and willingness to share made the learning environment incredibly enriching and supportive. Moreover, Sathish's ability to foster a collaborative classroom atmosphere encouraged us to share our perspectives and learn from each other, further enriching our learning experience. His patience and attentiveness ensured that every question was addressed, making the complex world of project management approachable to everyone, regardless of their background. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Sathish and the PRINCE2 Foundation course at Invensis highly enough. For anyone looking to deepen their understanding of project management principles and practices, this course, led by an instructor who genuinely cares about your learning and success, is the perfect choice. Thank you, Sathish, for sharing your expertise and passion for project management with us. Your dedication has not only equipped us with valuable knowledge but has also inspired us to strive for excellence in our careers."
