PRINCE2™ is a process-based approach for project management providing an easily tailored and scaleable method for the management of all types of projects.
PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a structured method for effective project management. It is a de facto standard used extensively by the UK Government and is widely recognised and used in the private sector, both in the UK and internationally. PRINCE2, the method, is in the public domain, offering non-proprietorial best-practice guidance on project management. PRINCE2 is a registered trademark of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC).
A single, common, structured method for project management can bring:
For senior management, PRINCE2 uses ‘management by exception’. The Project Board are kept fully informed of the project and stage status without having to attend regular, time-consuming meetings by way of planned controls, regular reports and exception situations which are brought to the Boards attention at appropriate points.
They are also able to delegate some duties to Project Assurance who will act on their behalf to verify and check at predetermined points in the project.
PRINCE2 may be used for any type of project in any type of environment; however it remains flexible enough to be applied to all sizes of projects and can be tailored to suit a project dependent on the circumstances.
PRINCE2 projects are focussed on delivering specified products to a specified Business Case.
The Business Case is a key document which is reviewed constantly throughout the project and progress is measured against expected benefits.

You could take a Prince2 foundation course which is a 3 day course. There is a one hour examination on day three, which will give you a Prince2 Foundation qualification.
The Prince2 Practitioner course is a five day course; it is basically the prince2 foundation course with additional material. There is an examination on the 5th day, which if you pass will give you a prince2 practitioner qualification.
Both of these courses are offered by Silicon Beach Training in the North Laines in Brighton, 5 mins from Brighton railway station. A great place to visit with plenty of local attractions and accommodation.
