The subsequent day, delegates will concentrate on the Practitioner top-level aspect of the course, and will be provided with a full day Practitioner Workshop, in which the trainer will impart extensive knowledge of the Project Managing environment onto the delegate. On the last day of the course, delegates will then take their final PRINCE2 Practitioner examination in order to complete the PRINCE2 Qualification and gain the PRINCE2 Training Certification.

PRINCE2 Training instructors have numerous years of hands-on experience in the Project Managing environment, therefore they can not only give theoretical guidance, but can provide delegates with genuine knowledge and understanding of the PRINCE2 skills and methodology; our trainers all have at least 10 years experience with PRINCE2 Project Management which will aid delegates in acquiring the PRINCE2 Certification.
