What is PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 is a process-based method for effective project management, and this qualification will equip you with the fundamental skills needed to be a successful project manager. The PRINCE2 framework is used all over the world, and can be tailored to suit any project you are managing.

As of 1st January 2020, AXELOS (the PRINCE2 accrediting body) has officially changed the name of ‘PRINCE2 2017’ to PRINCE2 6th edition. This is to ensure that the PRINCE2 language is aligned with that used by other frameworks in the project management industry. The new naming also reflects the legacy, heritage and authority of PRINCE2 best practice.
