Our PRINCE2 courses are delivered on your own site and are all fully accredited
The Inspirandum range of accredited training covers all parts of the organisation from the board room to the team room and from a short one-hour briefing to a full five days for the Practitioner event with exams. They are focused on making PRINCE2 work well on your projects not merely passing exams - though we have a lot to help with exams too.

========================================================
Excellent - appreciated the mix of PRINCE theory to practical work and particularly the focus on product planning. The training was thorough, well executed by someone who really knows their stuff - pleased I chose Inspirandum over other courses. Also back office extremely helpful too.
Rachael Dudley, General manager - Blue
Both instructor, presentation and course materials were ‘top quality’, practical examples made all the difference.
Chris Phillips, Head of Trading Book - RBS
Excellent content - not just about learning terminology, but also how to implement. Both Nick and the material are spot on. Broke the method into ‘easy to digest’ chunks. Would definitely recommend the course to others.
Melissa Kelly, Chief of Staff -Oliver Wyman

The PRINCE2 Senior Managers' Briefing (1 - 2 hours)
Suitable for directors and other senior managers, this briefing is between one and two hours. Clearly, more can be put across in two hours than one. We have delivered the briefing over lunch where senior managers are particularly busy. They listen while they eat, then there is time to deal with any questions.

The PRINCE2 Overview (short day - 6 hours)
This overview is run in a 'short day' to allow staff time in the office before and after the event. Typically it runs from 10 am to 4 pm with a 45 minute break for lunch. It is suitable for all staff from managers through to team members, to get an understanding of not only what PRINCE2 is, but how and why it works.

The PRINCE2 Practitioner Course - with Foundation (4-5 days)
Our 'flagship' course, this event covers the full detail of PRINCE2. It includes the exams, though these are optional. The format is to cover the whole method in the first four days, with the Foundation Exam being on the afternoon of the fourth day. For those wanting to take the Practitoner Exam, there is a fifth day that takes the form of an exam workshop in the morning and the Practitioner Exam itself in the afternoon.
Although the course includes the exams, it is not 'exam cram'. Inspirandum gives clear teaching on how to apply the method productively to projects so that delegates leave confident that they can use PRINCE2 appropriately and intelligently.
We do not teach a 'Foundation only' course because we see no point in telling people about structure and terminology without the accompaning insight and skills to make it all work. Those only wanting to take the Foundation leave the Inspirandum course at the end of Day 4, but still having had exactly the same practical input as those taking the Practitioner Exam.

PRINCE2 for the Project Board (1 day)
The Project Board is a vital management function in PRINCE2, but is widely misunderstood and underestimated, and therefore fulfilled badly. This one day course is both very informative and quite hard hitting. It pulls no punches on the responsibility of the individual board membes, but also explains clearlyhow PRINCE2 works and how to carry out the Project Board roles effectively.
It is a long day, working through the chronology of a project from Start Up to closure and typically runs from 9 am to 5.30 pm with 45 minutes for lunch.
All those attending the course receive a copy of the Inspirandum 'Project Board Handbook' which has useful advice and checklists for key points of Project Board involvement.

PRINCE2 and Planning for the Project Board - (2 days)
This course is a variant of PRINCE2 for the Project Board, and is designed for board members who are not familiar with the techniques for product and activity planning in projects. During the project, board members are not only required to discuss plans with the Project Manager, but also to approve them. Clearly they cannot do this unless they understand them - it would be like a Finance Manager approving a balance sheet when they don't really understand what a balance sheet is!
This two day course has the same content as the one day course, but interspersed with sessions on planning techniques including the powerful product planning techniques. It also allows slightly more time than the one day variant for discussion of live projects and the organisational approach to PRINCE2.
Some managers think that taking two days out is a long time when their schedule is busy. A good response to that is to ask how many days of their time will be taken up if their projects go wrong!
Like the one day variant, all those attending this course receive a copy of the Inspirandum 'Project Board Handbook'.
