About the PRINCE2

What PRINCE2 is and who it suits

PRINCE2 is a structured method for running projects: a set of principles, practices and processes, with clear roles and decision points. It is widely used in government and large organisations, and it works alongside agile delivery.

There are two levels. Foundation checks that you know the method and what each part is for. Practitioner asks you to apply and tailor it to a project scenario, with the official manual open beside you. The simulator has a separate bank and exam for each level.

Who it suits

  • Project managers
  • Project support and PMO staff
  • Team managers
  • Anyone joining a PRINCE2 project

How it is earned

  1. 01

    Start with Foundation

    Foundation has no entry requirement and is where most candidates begin.

  2. 02

    Move on to Practitioner

    Practitioner builds on Foundation and has its own entry requirements.

  3. 03

    Sit each exam

    Each level is its own timed exam. The simulator rehearses both.
