About PRINCE2® qualifications 

PRINCE2® Foundation

The PRINCE2 Foundation course focuses on introducing the PRINCE2 project management methodology to learners, giving them a greater idea about its principles and processes in differing projects. From learning the PRINCE2 terminology, to identifying its application in real world scenarios, the Foundation level establishes an initial understanding of the widely valued PRINCE2 project management method, as well as prepares individuals for the Practitioner course. It’s the perfect stepping stone for those seeking a career in project management. 

PRINCE2® Practitioner

Progressing from the Foundation course, the Practitioner course teaches learners how to apply PRINCE2 effectively to a project supporting it. This enables them to identify with confidence any prospective problems or risks that could come up. Once you are a PRINCE2 Registered Practitioner, you’ll have the necessary knowledge and skillset to succeed in a project management career and have an understanding of all the PRINCE2 elements.

In order to qualify however for the PRINCE2 Practitioner course, you must have proof indicating that you’ve successfully passed at least one of the following prerequisites:

• PRINCE2 Foundation
• Project Management Professional (PMP)®

• IPMA Level A (Certified Projects Director)
