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

Foundation validates your knowledge of the seven principles, seven practices and seven processes, while Practitioner proves you can tailor them to a live project scenario.

    It is a two-level project management credential from PeopleCert and AXELOS, built on PRINCE2 7 (the current 7th edition, 2023). Foundation validates that you understand the PRINCE2 method, while Practitioner proves you can apply and tailor it to a real project.

    Yes. PRINCE2 gives you a structured, transferable method that Portland employers in technology, healthcare, semiconductor and consulting value for governance-focused delivery. Project managers in the city average around $127,050 a year, rising further at program and PMO level, so a recognized credential strengthens your career case.

    Why should I choose Invensis Learning for PRINCE2 training?

    Invensis Learning is a PeopleCert accredited training partner offering PRINCE2 7 courseware, experienced trainers, flexible delivery formats and exam-focused support for both levels. We help you move from learning to two certifications with a clear, supported path.

    The fee typically covers accredited PRINCE2 7 courseware, expert instructor-led sessions, practice questions, mock exams and revision support, plus learner support throughout. Combined packages usually include both the Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers. Ask us to confirm what your chosen plan includes.

    Which edition are the PRINCE2 exams based on?

    Both exams are based on PRINCE2 7, the current 7th edition (2023) published by PeopleCert and AXELOS. It introduces the People capability, renames Themes to Practices, and integrates agile and sustainability into the method.

    What happens if I do not pass the first time?

    You can re-sit either exam. Our training includes structured practice, mock exams and revision support to help you prepare thoroughly the first time, and our team can guide you on re-booking a resit through PeopleCert if needed.

    You can take both exams online through PeopleCert's OnVUE online proctoring, available 24/7, or at an authorized PeopleCert test center. Exams are typically arranged as part of your combined training package.

    Course Content

    Can a beginner take this PRINCE2 course?

    Yes. The course is beginner friendly and Foundation has no prerequisites, so you can start with no prior project management background. Foundation builds your method knowledge before you progress to the applied Practitioner level.

    The training covers the full PRINCE2 7 method: the seven principles, the seven practices (business case, organizing, plans, quality, risk, issues and progress), the seven processes, the People capability, and tailoring, plus focused Foundation and Practitioner exam preparation.

    What learning resources are provided?

    You receive accredited PRINCE2 7 courseware, practice questions, full-length mock exams, quizzes and revision aids, along with trainer guidance. These resources help you identify weak areas and build readiness for both exams.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest PRINCE2 version?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to PRINCE2 7, the current edition, and to the official PeopleCert Foundation and Practitioner syllabuses, so you study the most up-to-date version of the method.

    Are practice exams included in the training?

    Yes. The program includes practice questions and full-length mock exams for both Foundation and Practitioner, so you can rehearse the closed-book and open-book formats and manage your time confidently on exam day.
