Accredited Prince2 Training

Prince2 (2009) Foundation & Practitioner Training: Oxford

What is PRINCE2 ® ?

PRINCE2 was published in 1996; with the latest major update occurring in 2009 (called the Prince2:2009 'Refresh'). The method was originally developed and is owned by the UK Government, as their standard 'method' for managing projects. Since then, it has been adopted by many public and private sector organisations, as the basis of their framework for Project Management.
