The course is useful for those who need

that they hear about when talking to practitioners. The course shows clearly how they all hang together as a whole.
The principles are there to guide and lay a foundation for everyone.
Projects should have a
continued business justification
throughout their life;
The project management team must seek
lessons from previous projects
and learn of earlier successes and failures.
Project health should be
reported by exception
,
by the groups producing the products,
through the project manager,
to those directing the project.
The project should have
defined roles and responsibilities
from the beginning, refined as the work details emerge.
The project must
focus on products
rather than activities.
Managing by stages
supports the focus on products and managing by exception and allows you to review the business justification at the end of each stage.

Project Managers with some experience but would like to put more structure and method to how they plan and manage their projects, and Senior Project Managers looking for a structured framework they can use to develop junior PM's or colleagues they are mentoring.
