PRINCE2® 6th Edition Practitioner E-learning

Learn how to run and manage your own projects through the application of the PRINCE2 methodology with the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification. With our e-learning, you can learn at a pace most suitable to you.

AXELOS (the PRINCE2 accrediting body) has officially changed the name of ‘PRINCE2 2017’ to ‘PRINCE2 6th edition’. The qualification itself has not changed, and still conforms to the 2017 syllabus.
