    What Is the PRINCE2 Foundation Certification?Your Entry into Structured Project Delivery

    The PRINCE2 Foundation (PRINCE2-F) certification is an entry-level qualification that proves you understand the PRINCE2 method well enough to work effectively within a project management team that uses it. Governed by AXELOS and examined by PeopleCert, it is based on the PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023) and the PRINCE2 7 Foundation syllabus. For professionals in Norway, the certification is a practical first step into structured, governance-led project delivery, the approach favoured across the public sector, energy, construction and IT organisations that run large, multi-stakeholder programmes. The 7th edition adds a new People capability, renames the former themes as practices, and integrates agile and sustainability thinking. With no formal prerequisites, PRINCE2 Foundation is open to anyone starting out in project management or joining a PRINCE2 environment. Begin your PRINCE2 journey with Invensis Learning and build a globally recognised credential that employers value.

    Invensis Learning is a Peoplecert Accredited Training Organization (2778) in Norway, approved to deliver official PRINCE2 Foundation Certification training using accredited courseware and standards.

    How to Get PRINCE2 Foundation Certified in NorwayStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The PRINCE2 Foundation certification process in Norway helps learners move from training enrollment to certification readiness through a structured pathway. While the exact steps depend on the certification body, exam provider, and eligibility rules, most certification journeys include training, preparation, exam registration, assessment, and credential maintenance where applicable.

    Step 1: Eligibility Check

    Review the eligibility requirements for PRINCE2 Foundation certification, including education, work experience, prior knowledge, training hours, or mandatory prerequisites. Some certifications are beginner-friendly, while others require professional experience or approved training.

    Step 2: Enroll in the Training Program

    Select your preferred learning format, including e-learning, live instructor-led sessions, or a PRINCE2 Foundation bootcamp. Upon enrollment, you receive official courseware, learning schedules, and a structured study plan.

    Understand the certification body's process, including application rules, exam registration steps, required documents, exam format, validity period, and renewal requirements where applicable.

    Step 5: Prepare with Practice Resources

    No. PRINCE2 Foundation has no formal prerequisites and is open to everyone, regardless of education, experience or prior project management knowledge. It is the entry point to the PRINCE2 qualification scheme.

    Is PRINCE2 Foundation recognised in Norway?

    Yes. PRINCE2 is recognised globally and is widely used across Norway's public sector, energy, construction and IT organisations. PeopleCert operates in more than 200 countries, so the credential travels well across sectors and borders.

    Yes. It gives you a recognised project method that employers value, opening roles such as project coordinator, project support and PMO analyst, which in Norway average from around kr 586,000 upwards. It is also the mandatory step towards PRINCE2 Practitioner. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    How long is the certification valid?

    PRINCE2 Foundation is valid for three years. You renew it by earning 60 CPD points within the three-year cycle. Verify current renewal options with PeopleCert.

    Pricing

    How much does PRINCE2 Foundation training cost in Norway?

    Training fees are quoted in Norwegian kroner and vary by format and schedule, so exact pricing is available on request. The PeopleCert exam fee is billed separately. Request a quote for current pricing and upcoming batches.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The training fee typically includes accredited courseware, practice questions, mock exams, exam simulator access, downloadable resources, learner support and a course completion record. Confirm the exact inclusions for your chosen format.

    Is the exam fee included in the price?

    It depends on the package. Some options bundle the PeopleCert exam voucher, while others quote training and exam separately. Ask a learning advisor which format includes the exam fee.

    Exam

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam is closed book and uses single-answer multiple-choice questions based on the PRINCE2 7 Foundation syllabus. It tests your knowledge and comprehension of the method at awareness level.

    How many questions are there and how long is the exam?

    The exam has 60 questions and lasts 60 minutes (one hour). It is a closed-book paper covering PRINCE2 principles, people, practices and processes.

    What is the passing score for the exam?

    You need 60 percent to pass, which means answering at least 36 of the 60 questions correctly. Aim for broad understanding across all syllabus areas rather than focusing on one topic.

    Where can I take the exam?

    You can sit the exam online through PeopleCert's OnVUE proctored system, available 24/7, or at a PeopleCert authorised test centre. It is usually arranged through your accredited training provider as part of a training and exam package.

    Course Content

    What topics does the training cover?

    The training covers the full PRINCE2 method: the seven principles, the People capability, the seven practices (business case, organising, plans, quality, risk, issues and progress) and the seven processes, plus tailoring and exam preparation.

    Do I need project experience to follow the course?

    No. The course is designed for beginners and covers the method at knowledge and comprehension level. Trainers use practical examples and knowledge checks so you can follow along without prior project experience.

    What learning materials are provided?
