Course description
The PRINCE2 Foundation course is a 2 day training with an optional official PRINCE2 Foundation exam given at the end of the second day.

Key elements in the PRINCE2 Foundation course are the process model, themes and principals. During the PRINCE2 Foundation course delegates will learn how to set up a project management organization that is responsible for managing and planning the project.
