Praxis Framework™ Foundation & Practitioner classroom

Cut out the middle man – get your bearings in the main functions and processes involved in project and programme management, before learning how to apply these practically in a working environment.

About the course

The Praxis Framework™ is a combination of four types of best practice guidance; Knowledge, Method, Competency and Capability and is the first free framework to integrate projects, programmes and portfolios in a single guide. Praxis Foundation equips you with an understanding of project and programme functions and the processes and documentation used to manage lifecycle phases. It will enable you to work effectively as part of any project or programme management team. The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to confirm whether the candidate has achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor Praxis in a scenario situation.
