Course Information
This PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner course is designed to provide delegates with a working understanding of the PRINCE2® structured project management method. It will enable them to use the method when working within a PRINCE2® project and to pass the PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner examinations.
The course covers the full PRINCE2® syllabus and therefore equips delegates not just to take the Foundation and Practitioner examinations, but also to understand the broad range of PRINCE2®’s principles, key themes, processes and techniques. The aim during the course is to achieve an effective balance between exam success and the need for skills transfer.
Delegates are required to undertake preliminary study using the pre-course learning resources. Further self-study is also expected during the evenings of each course day.
Please note from the 1st February 2022, the PRINCE2 examination process will be changing and the following will apply to every course:
- All PRINCE2 Examinations are arranged and administered online direct by PeopleCert.
- Delegates will be provided with a PeopleCert Examination Voucher for each examination. The voucher for the Foundation Examination includes access to the Official 6th Edition PRINCE2 Manual e-book.
- On receipt of the voucher code the delegate should create or login to their candidate profile on the PeopleCert website to “redeem” the voucher and get access to the e-book.
- Delegates are further encouraged to register for both Foundation and Practitioner examinations with Peoplecert as soon as possible, firstly to ensure that they have access to the e-book and can carry out pre-course reading, and also to schedule their exams for a suitable exam time as close to a convenient time during the course as possible.
- We suggest that delegates try to arrange examinations as close as possible to the following timeslots:-
- Foundation Examination: Day 3 (Wednesday) – from 15.00pm UK time onwards
- Practitioner Examination Day 5 (Friday) – from 12.00pm UK time onwards

Please note if you are attending a classroom based PRINCE2 course, due to the exam process now being held online, delegates are NOT expected to travel to the venue on Day 5 in order to minimise travel times. Instead your course trainer will organise a virtual session to run in the morning of Day 5 for any delegates which require any pre-examination support.
