This is particularly true in industries where structured project methods are important, such as IT, construction, finance, consulting and public administration.
Your PRINCE2 7 Foundation and PRINCE2 7 Practitioner certificates prove that you can apply the methodology practically and responsibly in complex projects.

Didactic concept
Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).
You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
