What is PRINCE2®?

PRINCE2 is a structured approach to project management. It provides a really clear framework for managing projects in a results-driven environment. The purpose of PRINCE2 is to give you complete control over your project. The process will help you pre-plan how you want to implement your project, how to structure each stage of its execution and how to close off any remaining tasks once the project has finished. It’s an internationally renowned project management method that is used by many companies.

"Training ByteSize is exactly what I needed to start studying again. Being able to log in anyway with an internet connection to study was a great benefit, I was able to do this most lunch breaks which helps hugely when you have a very busy family life.
I liked the way the course was split into sections with exam style questions at the end of each one. Any communication I had with Training ByteSize was always answered quickly and always answered the questions I had. Once I bring myself down from cloud nine I will consider doing the PRINCE2 Practitioner course next. Well done Training ByteSize!" - Heather Patey

"I signed up with Training ByteSize at the beginning of the year and passed my PRINCE2 Foundation exam a few months later with 87%. I studied one evening a week and a few hours on the weekend as I work full time. With no project management experience, I put my pass rate down to the Training ByteSize online course and couldn't recommend the course more highly.

The course is well designed, making everything very easy to understand and explaining things in layman's terms - especially helpful if you have no project management experience. The course is broken up into 14 chapters, 12 if you don't count the intro and conclusion. Each chapter very clearly explains various aspects of the PRINCE2 methodology, whether it's the themes, processes or principles. There is a clear structure to follow throughout, with lots of examples and test questions in each chapter, which you can revisit as many times as you like. Each topic is broken up into clear sections which include diagrams to help illustrate and explain the verbal and written descriptions.

I also found the staff at Training ByteSize extremely helpful and supportive, always responding to my emails in a timely manner and answering all my questions. Thank you Training ByteSize!" - Lauren
