The PRINCE2 Practitioner course will build on the knowledge gained during the Foundation level. Following the course, candidates will be able to understand the relationships between processes, themes, principles and PRINCE2 products and can apply this understanding to a given project scenario. Successful completion of the Practitioner examination will give the delegate a recognised Practitioner qualification; understood and identified in industry as a mark of quality for Project Managers. This five day certification course follows PRINCE2 Foundation and provides guidance for those seeking to become effective IT project contributors and for those who wish to obtain the PRINCE2 Practitioner certification. While the Foundation course provides theory, the Practitioner course teaches you how to practically apply the PRINCE2 concepts within a project environment. PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a process based, scalable approach for effective IT project management. With a direct relationship to the ITIL, the framework is public domain and offers non-proprietary guidance on project management. PRINCE2′s teachings and certifications provide you with the knowledge needed to contribute successfully to your organisation’s IT projects. Overall, the guidance will give you and your team common IT project processes, systems, procedures and language. You benefit from stronger communication channels between the project team, project management and the rest of the organisation, while avoiding errors, saving time and money and, most important, delivering successful project outcomes! PRINCE2 is widely used across the world and is complimentary to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) championed by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). Syzygal is a globally Accredited Training Organisation and Accredited Courseware Provider for the PRINCE2 education & certification program. We are accredited by the following Examination Institutes: APMG, EXIN, Loyalist and PEOPLECERT.

PRINCE2® (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is
a process-based approach for project management
providing an easily tailored and scalable method for the
management of all types of projects. The method is the
de-facto standard for project management in the UK and is
practiced worldwide.
In 1989, PRINCE® was released and in 1996 many improve-
ments and enhancements were implemented which led to
PRINCE2®. In 2002 and 2005 there were further updates to
include the latest insights into best practices and in 2009
there was a comprehensive review which brings us to the
current version. The development of PRINCE2® from the
earlier PRINCE® method was driven by user based-improve-
ments, project management specialists and a review panel
of 150 public and private sector organisations. PRINCE2® is
a flexible project management method and although origi-
nally designed for the management of IT projects it is now
suitable for all other types of projects. PRINCE2® is based
on seven principles which form the basis of the PRINCE2®
method:
•• PRINCIPLE 1: Business justification - a PRINCE2® project
must have business justification at all times
•• PRINCIPLE 2: Learn from experience - lessons should be
sought, recorded and acted upon
•• PRINCIPLE 3: Roles and Responsibilities - a PRINCE2®
project has defined and agreed roles and responsibili-
ties with an organisational structure that represents the
business, user and supplier stakeholders
•• PRINCIPLE 4: Manage by Stages - PRINCE2® project
stages, must be planned, monitored and controlled
•• PRINCIPLE 5: Manage by exception - a PRINCE2®
project uses defined project tolerances to effectively
delegate authority
•• PRINCIPLE 6: Focus on products - project products
must be defined and product quality mechanisms
established
•• PRINCIPLE 7: Tailor to suit the environment - PRINCE2®
should be tailored to suit the project’s size, environ-
ment, complexity, importance, capability and risks
The 7 Principles of PRINCE2® are followed by 7 Themes. The
PRINCE2® themes are those aspects of project manage-
ment that need to be addressed continually throughout the
project lifecycle.
• BUSINESS CASE: The objective of a Business Case is
to establish mechanisms to judge whether the project
is (and remains) desirable, viable and achievable as a
means to support decision-making in its continued
investment
• ORGANISATION: Defines project roles and responsibili-
ties and the organisational structure of the project
• QUALITY: The quality theme defines how the desired
level of quality is to be obtained and verified within a
project
• RISK: The Risk theme focuses on managing project risks
• PLANS: This theme answers the questions surrounding
the means of delivering the products: where, how and
by whom, and estimating the when and how much?
• CHANGE: The Change theme aims to develop a reliable
change and configuration management approach,
enabling the Project Manager to deal with potential
changes, while maintaining project stability and
security
•• PROGRESS: This theme answers“Where are we now?
Where are we going? Should we carry on?”Provision
should be made to evaluate actual achievements
against planned achievements.
The principles and themes are applied throughout the 7 pro-
cesses: Starting up a project, Initiating a project, Directing
a project, Controlling a stage, Managing product delivery,
Managing stage boundaries and Closing a project.

ily in a leading role. Successful completion of the Founda-
tion exam will give the delegate a recognised Foundation

proach to managing projects.

tioner examination will give the delegate a recognised Prac-
titioner qualification; understood and identified in industry
as a mark of quality for Project Managers. People interested

PRINCE2® FOUNDATION
This is the entry level qualification and is aimed at individu-
als who have mastered the content of a PRINCE2® Founda-
tion course. The purpose of the foundation qualification is
to confirm the candidates have sufficient knowledge and
understanding of the PRINCE2® method to be able to work
effectively with, or as a member of, a project management
team working within an environment supporting PRINCE2®.
•• Prerequisites: None, however, attendance
at a PRINCE2® Foundation course is strongly
recommended
PRINCE2® PRACTITIONER
Aimed at professionals who can demonstrate an under-
standing of the reasons behind the processes and themes
of PRINCE2®, and that they understand the principles
underpinning these elements. These professionals have
shown evidence that they can apply and tailor PRINCE2®
to address the needs and problems of a specific project
scenario and different project circumstances.
•• Prerequisites: Successful completion of the PRINCE2®
Foundation Exam and an accredited PRINCE2®
Practitioner course
PRINCE2® certification will give you the skills to feel confident in managing projects successfully within the workplace. Using
PRINCE2® in your projects will give you common systems, procedures and language. It provides you with greater control
of resources, and the ability to manage business and project risk more effectively. You will make fewer mistakes, learn from
those that you do make, and ultimately save money and effort.
PRINCE2® is recognised as a world-class international product and is the standard method for project management. Many
companies across the world require staff to be PRINCE2® certified.

TACT is Syzygal’s pro-

for developing courses
and courseware
As part of doctoral research,
Syzygal have developed a unique
approach to developing and
designing professional education
courses and courseware. Rather
than utilising tired and over-used
methods such as working straight
from a syllabus, Syzygal decided to
research the key elements of effec-
tive learning. What we found was
that although dynamic and flexible
delivery methods were essential to
the overall experience for students,
it was the approach to content
formulation and positioning that
was critical to maximising learning
up-take and knowledge retention.
The THEORY of a subject is obvi-
ously critical to success, but ensur-
ing it is positioned in contextual
alignment is the pay-off. We then
ensure students ABSORB the the-
ory by placing them in real-world
scenarios and role-plays, ensuring
the theory connects to practical
application. To support this we
CONSOLIDATE the learning by us-
ing innovative games and exercises
to further develop understanding
and retention. Finally we ensure
TESTING takes place throughout
training events which prepares
the student to take their formal
certification.

resources and ensure they have ap-
plicable, real life experience in their
