Day Course

APMG - PRINCE2® Foundation / Practitioner - Overview

Seven reasons why you should sit your PRINCE2 course with Firebrand Training

  1. You’ll be PRINCE2 certified in just 5 days. With us, you’ll be PRINCE2 trained in record time
  2. Our PRINCE2 course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass PRINCE2 first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your PRINCE2 course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
  4. You’ll learn more PRINCE2. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn PRINCE2 faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying PRINCE2 with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study PRINCE2 courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.

"Fantastic - I have never learnt so much in such a short period of time. It was hard work, extremely intense but a lot of fun." Melanie Potts, Siemens (Firebrand PRINCE2® certified)

"By far the best training I have had in both the US and the UK. The price of the course was well worth the money - the facilities were nice, the food was good, and the instructor was great. I have already recommended Firebrand to all of my co-workers!" Dan Sochacki, HSBC (Firebrand PRINCE2® certified).

During the week, you’ll sit the following exams on-site:

  • PRINCE2® Foundation
  • PRINCE2® Practitioner

Upgrade to PRINCE2® 2009

This course is based on the PRINCE2® 2005 syllabus. If you are looking to get certified in the newer PRINCE2® 2009 then you will need to sit for our 5 Day PRINCE2 2009 Foundation and Practitioner course.

PRINCE2® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce in the United Kingdom and other countries. Ownership of PRINCE2® belongs to the OGC and is managed by the APMG.
