    How to Get PRINCE2 Certified in New ZealandStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The PRINCE2 certification path in New Zealand 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

    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.

    Command the Seven PRINCE2 Principles

    Skills covered in PRINCE2 start here: continued business justification, learn from experience, defined roles, manage by stages and exception, focus on products, and tailoring, so every project has a sound, controlled basis.

    Apply the Seven PRINCE2 Practices

    Work confidently with Business Case, Organizing, Plans, Quality, Risk, Issues and Progress, and the management products behind each, so you can plan, control and assure delivery throughout the project lifecycle.

    Lead a project from Starting Up and Initiating through Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing a Stage Boundary and Closing, understanding the activities and responsibilities at each step.

    Lead People and Engage Stakeholders

    Build the People capability introduced in PRINCE2 7: leadership styles, stakeholder engagement, team dynamics and change management, the human skills that turn a method into successful delivery.

    Tailor PRINCE2 to Real Projects

    At Practitioner level, apply and adapt PRINCE2 to project scenarios of different scale, complexity and delivery approach, including agile contexts, and justify your tailoring decisions with confidence.

    Prepare for Both PRINCE2 Exams

    PRINCE2 7 (2023) introduces the People capability as a core element, renames Themes to Practices, updates management products, and integrates commercial management, sustainability and agile considerations across the method.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the PRINCE2 course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. A learning advisor can help you pick the right batch.

    What training formats are available in New Zealand?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, classroom training and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and learning style.

    How soon can I start?

    New batches run regularly across live online and classroom formats. See upcoming schedules to find a start date that suits you, or talk to an advisor about the next available combined Foundation and Practitioner cohort.

    Can I reschedule or transfer to another batch?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans allow you to attend the training again. Contact support to arrange this.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled per our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back guarantee. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
