"The beauty of remote studying is that I could rework the plan when things came up or other commitments took over, which I wouldn’t have been able to do if I was studying in person."

PRINCE2® Foundation Course FAQs

The PRINCE2® Foundation is right for you if:

  • You want to build your career in project management
  • You're looking to gain an understanding of the PRINCE2® method
  • You're currently working in an entry-level project management role and want to progress

The PRINCE2® Foundation course is your first step into project management, teaching you the core principles of the PRINCE2® methodology. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to build on your skills for more advanced roles, this course gives you the tools to take the next step in your career.

While there are no entry requirements for the PRINCE2® Foundation qualification, you'll need to have good literacy and numeracy skills and be over 18! 

The PRINCE2® 7th Edition Foundation is your introduction to the PRINCE2® project management methodology, covering its core principles, practices, and processes.

It's perfect if you're new to project management or looking to build a solid foundation of the PRINCE2® framework.

The PRINCE2® 7th Edition Practitioner course takes your skills a step further, focusing on how to apply PRINCE2® in real-world settings.

Aimed at those with some project management experience, it’s designed to give you the practical knowledge to lead and manage projects with confidence in mid to senior level roles. 

If you're interested in both courses, the PRINCE2® Combined course is worth taking a look at – saving you time and money!

The PRINCE2® 7th Edition was introduced in September 2023 by PeopleCert, offering a more flexible, principle-based approach compared to the 6th Edition.

While the 6th Edition is more process-driven, the 7th Edition offers greater project adaptability, allowing you to focus more on delivering outcomes rather than following rigid processes. The 7th Edition framework is made up of five integrated elements:

  • 7 Principles
  • 7 Practices
  • 7 Processes
  • Project Context
  • People 

The key updates from the 6th edition include: 

  • A new 'People' element: This addition complements the core principles, processes, and practices (previously "themes"), focusing on the human side of project management.
  • Additional topics to suit dynamic organisational shifts: Now covering areas like data and digital management, commercial management, and sustainability.
  • Change Management integration: Change management concepts are now woven into the framework, helping you manage project change more effectively.
  • Exam changes: A few tweaks to the exam format, including a slight increase in the pass mark to 60%.
  • Minor terminology updates: Small changes to process activities and names for clarity.

While these updates have been made, the core of PRINCE2® remains unchanged. The seven principles and processes stay the same, making the 7th Edition a natural evolution that supports better project outcomes in today’s fast-changing world of work.
