    The fee usually includes PRINCE2 7 aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams for both levels, exam booking guidance, learner support and a course completion certificate. Talk to a learning advisor to confirm what your selected plan covers.

    Are the PeopleCert exam fees included in the price?

    Exam fees are billed by PeopleCert and vary by region and delivery channel, so they are usually quoted separately from training. Confirm the current Foundation and Practitioner exam fees on peoplecert.org before you book.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Exam

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam has 60 multiple-choice, single-answer questions to complete in 60 minutes. It is closed book, and the passing score is 60%, meaning 36 out of 60 correct. It tests knowledge and understanding of the PRINCE2 method.

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam has 56 questions and sub-questions worth 70 marks, with 150 minutes allowed. It is open book, using the Managing Successful Projects manual, and scenario-based. The passing score is 60%, or 42 out of 70 marks.

    What are the prerequisites for each exam?

    PRINCE2 Foundation has no formal prerequisites and is open to all. The Practitioner exam requires PRINCE2 Foundation, or an accepted equivalent such as PMP, CAPM or IPMA Level A to D. Verify current accepted equivalents on peoplecert.org.

    Where and how do I take the PRINCE2 exams?

    Both exams are delivered through PeopleCert, either online with 24/7 proctoring or at an authorized test center. They are typically arranged as part of your combined training and dual-exam package, so you sit each one when you feel ready.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You can re-sit an exam if needed. Selected plans include retake support, and PeopleCert applies its own re-examination policy and fees. Confirm the current re-sit terms on peoplecert.org before you book your exam.

    Which edition are the exams based on?

    Both exams are based on PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023) and its syllabus, published by PeopleCert and AXELOS. PRINCE2 7 introduced the People capability, renamed themes to practices, and integrated agile and sustainability considerations.

    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 and progress) and the seven processes, plus tailoring the method to different project contexts.

    Can a complete beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Foundation level assumes no prior PRINCE2 knowledge and has no prerequisites, so beginners are welcome. The course then builds toward Practitioner level, where you learn to apply and tailor the method to real project scenarios.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The program includes practice questions and full-length mock exams for both Foundation and Practitioner, along with topic-wise quizzes. These help you identify weak areas and build readiness for the closed-book and open-book formats.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest PRINCE2 syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current PRINCE2 7 syllabus and the Managing Successful Projects manual (7th Edition, 2023), so you study the latest principles, practices, processes and People capability that the exams assess.
