    What Is the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner Certification?Your Route to Structured Project Delivery

You learn the seven principles, seven practices and seven processes, then how to tailor them to real projects.

    How to Get PRINCE2 Certified in IrelandStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The PRINCE2 certification path in Ireland is straightforward. You complete the accredited 35 contact hours, sit the Foundation exam, then progress to Practitioner. Both exams are administered by PeopleCert online or at approved test centers. Once you pass, you join the global community of 1,000,000+ PRINCE2-certified practitioners.

    Step 1: Eligibility Check

    Confirm your readiness: Foundation has no prerequisites, while Practitioner requires a recognized prior credential such as PRINCE2 Foundation, PMQ, PPQ, PMP, CAPM, or IPMA Levels A, B, C, D.

    Step 2: Enroll

    Choose your preferred learning mode (E-Learning, Instructor-Led Bootcamp, or Corporate Group Training) and batch. Once enrolled, you get access to AXELOS-accredited courseware, schedules, and your study plan.

    Step 3: Attend Classes

    Complete instructor-led sessions or self-paced learning, participate in case discussions, and cover the PRINCE2 7th Edition syllabus across principles, practices, processes, people, and project context.

    Step 4: Sit the Foundation Exam

    Book your Foundation exam via the PeopleCert candidate portal. The exam is 60 multiple-choice questions over 60 minutes, closed book. Passing score: 60%. Our team supports you with exam booking and proctoring setup.

    Step 5: Preparation for Practitioner

    Strengthen your readiness using practice questions, mock examinations, scenario-based exercises, and revision resources. This stage functions as a focused PRINCE2 exam prep training phase designed to build confidence for the Practitioner assessment.

    Step 6: Sit the Practitioner Exam

    Sit the 70-question, 150-minute Practitioner exam (open book, official PRINCE2 manual only). Passing score: 60%. The scenario-based questions test your ability to apply PRINCE2 in context.

    Step 7: Pass and Get Certified

    General

    Is the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner certification worth it in Ireland?

    Yes. PRINCE2 is one of the most recognised project management credentials in Ireland, named in public sector specs, EU-funded programmes and regulated-industry roles. Certified project managers typically earn 15-25% more than uncertified peers, and the combined path opens project manager, PMO and programme roles.

    What is PRINCE2 and which edition does this course cover?

    PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a structured project management method covering seven principles, the People capability, seven practices and seven processes. This course covers the current PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023), governed by AXELOS and examined by PeopleCert.

    Who should take the combined PRINCE2 course?

    It suits new and practising project managers, team leaders, project coordinators and specialists moving into delivery roles. Foundation has no prerequisites, and the combined path takes you from method awareness to Practitioner-level application in one programme.

    What is new in PRINCE2 7 compared with PRINCE2 6?

    PRINCE2 7 (2023) introduces the People capability as a core element, renames Themes to Practices, and builds in agile, sustainability and commercial management. Management products are updated, but the seven principles remain central to the method.

    How long is the PRINCE2 certification valid?

    Both PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner are valid for three years. Foundation is renewed by earning 60 CPD points per cycle, and Practitioner can be renewed by resitting the exam, completing CPD via a MyAxelos subscription, or passing a higher PRINCE2 qualification.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PRINCE2 training fee?

    The training fee typically includes accredited PRINCE2 7 courseware, expert-led sessions, practice questions, mock exams, downloadable resources and learner support. Exam vouchers are commonly bundled by accredited providers. Request a quote to confirm what your package includes.

    How much does PRINCE2 training cost in Ireland?

    Pricing varies by format, whether exam vouchers are included, and group size. Instructor-led combined Foundation and Practitioner training is quoted per learner, with corporate rates for teams. Contact a learning advisor for current pricing in euro.

    Are the PeopleCert exam fees included in the price?

    Exam fees are set by PeopleCert and can be bundled with training or purchased separately. Pricing varies by region and delivery channel. We can confirm whether your package includes the Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers when you request a quote.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams and departments across Ireland. Ask about group rates for a tailored quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam is closed book with 60 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 60 minutes. The passing score is 60%, which is 36 out of 60 correct. It tests knowledge and comprehension of the PRINCE2 7 method and has no prerequisites.

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam is open book, using the PRINCE2 7 Managing Successful Projects manual. It has 56 questions and sub-questions worth 70 marks, lasts 150 minutes, and requires 60% (42 out of 70) to pass. It tests applying and tailoring PRINCE2 to scenarios.

    What are the prerequisites for the Practitioner exam?

    You need PRINCE2 Foundation, or an accepted equivalent such as PMP, CAPM or IPMA Level A to D. In the combined programme you sit Foundation first, then Practitioner, so both credentials are earned in one path.

    Where can I take the PRINCE2 exams?

    Both exams are delivered by PeopleCert, either online with 24/7 OnVUE proctoring or at an authorised test centre. In the combined course, Foundation is usually sat before the Practitioner exam within the programme schedule.

    What happens if I do not pass an exam first time?

    You can resit the exam with PeopleCert; resit policies and fees are confirmed at booking. Our training includes practice questions and mock exams to prepare you thoroughly for both papers, and selected plans offer additional revision support.

    Course Content

    What topics does the PRINCE2 course cover?

    The course covers the seven PRINCE2 principles, the People capability, the seven practices (Business Case, Organizing, Plans, Quality, Risk, Issues, Progress) and the seven processes from Starting Up to Closing a Project, plus tailoring and exam technique for both levels.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    No prior experience is required for Foundation, so beginners are welcome. The Practitioner level builds on Foundation and suits those who will apply PRINCE2 to projects. The training supports both new and experienced professionals with practical, guided instruction.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest PRINCE2 syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the PRINCE2 7 Foundation and Practitioner syllabus and the PRINCE2 7 Managing Successful Projects manual, published by PeopleCert and AXELOS in 2023.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes for both Foundation and Practitioner, helping you identify weak areas and build readiness for the closed-book and open-book papers.

    How is the combined training structured?

    The combined programme covers Foundation content first, then Practitioner application, typically across a multi-day schedule with 32 total training hours. You progress from understanding the method to applying and tailoring it, then sit both PeopleCert exams.

    What training formats are available in Ireland?
