PRINCE2 Conversion Training Courses & Solutions

PRINCE2 Conversion Training Courses and PRINCE2 Conversion Training Solutions to cater for individuals or multiple delegates within an organisation respectively.

PRINCE2 Conversion Training Courses

PRINCE2 Conversion Training Courses are OGC/APMG accredited, residential or non-residential conversion training courses which include the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam. This course is titled 'PRINCE2 Conversion Training Course' as it is typically undertaken by delegates whom have previously undertaken the PRINCE2 Foundation Course and exam but did not undertake the PRINCE2 Practitioner at the same time. Thus it 'converts' a PRINCE2 Foundation Level delegate to a fully qualified PRINCE2 Practitioner, subject to delegates passing the required PRINCE2 Practitioner exam.

PRINCE2 Conversion Training Solutions

PRINCE2 Conversion Training Solutions are OGC/APMG Accredited on or off site PRINCE2 Training Solutions. PRINCE2 Conversion Training Solutions are designed for organisations who prefer to have multiple members of staff/employees undertake PRINCE2 Conversion Training Courses at the same time and on your organisations own premises or KPS Offices.

Overview of PRINCE2 Conversion Training

Both PRINCE2 Conversion Training Courses and PRINCE2 Conversion Training Solutions build upon your understanding of the Projects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE) project management method so that you are able to run projects using this method and will prepare you to sit the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam.

The emphasis of this course is placed on live case study examples to show the benefits of PRINCE2 as a structured method for the management of projects, so you gain practical skills by using PRINCE2 techniques to control real issues.

Class sizes are deliberately kept small to enable full and better interaction with PRINCE2 Conversion Training delegates and to encourage class discussion between the PRINCE2 accredited trainer (lecturer) and PRINCE2 conversion course delegates.
