Develop your project management skills and lead projects successfully from start to finish. Combine structure, flexibility, and result-oriented working with methodologies such as PRINCE2, AgilePM, and SAFe to manage projects effectively.
Project management is about planning, executing, and controlling projects within time, budget, and scope. Projects are carried out in all types of companies and organisations, but they are not always managed in a structured way, which can lead to projects taking too long, costing too much, or even failing.
Symbol offers training courses in the fields of PRINCE2, AgilePM, SAFe, and APQP. Each of these methods is globally accepted. You can obtain a recognised certification for each of these methodologies. To this end, we collaborate with various partners, including APMG International.
SAFe® builds on the principles of Agile and Scrum and makes it possible to apply these working methods on a larger scale. While Scrum focuses on individual teams, SAFe® helps organisations to enable multiple teams to work together effectively. This results in better alignment, predictability, and faster delivery of customer value.
The PRINCE2® Foundation training provides insight into the principles, themes, and processes of the PRINCE2® methodology. The follow-up training, PRINCE2® Practitioner, focuses on its practical application. Together, these courses form a solid basis for successfully initiating, controlling, and delivering projects within a wide range of organisations.
The AgilePM® Foundation training introduces the principles, roles, and working methods of Agile Project Management. In the AgilePM® Practitioner training, you will learn to apply this knowledge in realistic project situations. Together, both courses offer a practical approach to successfully managing projects in a dynamic and changing environment.
Our training advisors are happy to help you, whether it concerns open registration, in-company training, or bespoke training.

Which project management training course is the best fit?
The right training course depends primarily on the type of project and the environment or organisation where the project is being carried out. For developing a technical product or system in the automotive industry, the APQP method is followed. In government organisations, PRINCE2 or IPMA is usually applied. Within IT, work is often carried out according to Agile and Scrum. Choose a method that aligns with your professional practice.
What is the difference between PRINCE2 and IPMA?
PRINCE2 is a process-based method with clear steps and roles. IPMA focuses more on the competencies of the project manager, such as leadership, behaviour, and context. Both are valuable, depending on your role and organisation. Both methods can be followed at different levels (Foundation, Practitioner, and Expert).
When should I choose Agile or Scrum?
Agile and Scrum are suitable for dynamic projects with many changes, such as IT development. They offer flexibility, short iterations, and close collaboration with stakeholders, allowing value to be delivered faster.
What is the role of APQP in project management?
APQP is mainly used in the automotive sector for product development. It provides a structured approach to planning projects, managing risks, and ensuring quality from the design phase through to production. Symbol has specialised in automotive training for 20 years.
Can I obtain a certificate after the training?
Yes, for many training courses, you can obtain a recognised certificate, such as DMAIC, PRINCE2, IPMA, Agile, or Scrum. After completing a course at Symbol, we can register you with a certification body such as LSSA, APMG, or EXIN (depending on the course taken). An official certificate confirms your knowledge and skills and increases your professional value in the labour market.
