    The Christchurch Certification Shift

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

    The PRINCE2 certification path in Christchurch is straightforward. You complete the accredited 35 contact hours, sit the Foundation exam, then progress to Practitioner.

    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.

    Is PRINCE2 certification worth it in Christchurch?

    Yes. PRINCE2 is widely preferred by Christchurch construction, IT, healthcare and public sector employers, and certified project managers here average around NZ$105,000, with programme roles reaching far higher. It also opens government-facing roles that often list PRINCE2 as preferred.

    What is the difference between Foundation and Practitioner?

    Foundation confirms you understand PRINCE2 and can work within a project that uses it. Practitioner proves you can apply and tailor PRINCE2 to real project scenarios. The combined course prepares you for both PeopleCert exams in one structured pathway.

    Which edition of PRINCE2 does this course cover?

    The course covers PRINCE2 7, the current PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023). It introduces the People capability, renames Themes to Practices, and integrates agile and sustainability considerations, aligned to the PRINCE2 7 Managing Successful Projects manual.

    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 CPD, retaking the exam, or passing a higher-level PRINCE2 qualification.

    What is included in the course fee?

    Are the PeopleCert exam fees included?

    Combined training packages often include both PeopleCert exam vouchers, but this depends on the plan you choose. Since PeopleCert prices exams by region and channel, confirm whether the Foundation and Practitioner vouchers are bundled when you request a quote.

    You can resit a PeopleCert exam by booking a re-examination. Selected training plans also include revision support and a Flexi Pass to attend the training again, so you can strengthen weak areas before your next attempt. Ask about the options that apply to your plan.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the PRINCE2 training?

    The training covers the seven principles, the People capability, the seven practices (Business Case, Organizing, Plans, Quality, Risk, Issues and Progress) and the seven processes, plus tailoring and exam preparation for both levels.
