Course Overview
The PRINCE2 Practitioner Upgrade course is preliminary self-study, which will be guided by one of ITSM CENTER's trainers, will take delegates through the full range of PRINCE2. As well as covering all the key components and processes, it will provide instruction on aspects such as controlling a stage, managing product delivery, managing stage boundaries, project initiation, project start-up, planning and control.
The first classroom day will enable delegate to practise Practitioner type questions and it will be followed by a revision before the exam itself is taken on the second classroom day.
Who should attend
Delegates must have already passed the PRINCE2 Foundation examination and will be taking the Upgrade course either to achieve the Practitioner status or to Re-Register their Practitioner status.
Those who passed Foundation fairly recently and have been using PRINCE2 in their 'day job' will need to set aside about fifteen hours for self study before the first classroom day (Exam Prep Day). Those for whom this is not true may need to allow a little more time. Delegates who are upgrading having not studied their Foundation course with ITSM CENTER will also require the Pre-Course Workbook.
