What you will study

Foundation Level – 3 days 
The Foundation Level certification introduces the PRINCE2® method and aims to confirm that you know and understand the PRINCE2® method well enough to be able to work effectively with, or as a member of, a project management team working within an environment supporting PRINCE2®. The Foundation certification is also a prerequisite for the Practitioner certification.

Practitioner Level – 2 days

PRINCE2® Practitioner certification is suitable for anyone managing projects. This could be as part of a formal project management function or a role which involves project management as part of day-to-day work. The Practitioner certification aims to confirm that you have sufficient knowledge and understanding to apply and tailor the method in a range of different project environments and scenarios.

Who is it aimed at

PRINCE2® is aimed at project managers, aspiring project managers and anyone who manages projects. It is also relevant to other key staff involved in the design, development and delivery of projects, including: Project Board members, Team Managers, Project Assurance Project Support and operational line managers/staff.
The PRINCE2® Practitioner certification will expire after 3 years. In order to maintain your qualification and ensure there are no gaps in your Practitioner status, you can either retake the PRINCE2® Practitioner Exam before the expiry date or maintain your certification through CPD points and a digital badge.
