PRINCE2® Foundation certification requirements
The PRINCE2Foundation certification aims to test knowledge and skills in the PRINCE2 project management methodology and the entire syllabus can be questioned. All topics are equally important, with an equal chance to be included in the certification. The candidate is expected to be able to meet the requirements for all topics in the syllabus, although each exam will not necessarily test all topics in the syllabus.
The questions are listed in a random order on the exam paper, they are not grouped by curriculum area.
The requirements for your preparation

- Participated in our accredited PRINCE2 online course.
- Read the full PRINCE2 manual
- Take test exams on an online course
Our online course includes test exams so that you can familiarize yourself with the exam format before taking the exam.

– If you have taken your PRINCE2 certification after June 30, 2020, the certification will expire three years after the date on your certificate.
