Roles, Demand and Pay
PRINCE2 Foundation is a strong first credential in Ottawa, where structured, governance-led project delivery is the norm across federal departments, Kanata technology firms and consulting practices. It maps to in-demand entry and mid-level roles such as project coordinator, project support officer, PMO analyst and junior project manager, with a clear path toward project manager as you gain experience. With the federal government driving much of the local project workload, credentialed talent stands out in a competitive market.

Method Knowledge You Can Apply at Work
This PRINCE2 Foundation programme builds knowledge and comprehension of the full method as defined in the 7th edition syllabus. By the end you can work confidently within a PRINCE2 project environment and are ready for the Foundation exam.
You will learn what PRINCE2 is and how its four integrated elements, principles, people, practices and processes, combine into a scalable method for controlled project delivery under PRINCE2 7th Edition.
Understand the seven principles that underpin every PRINCE2 project, from continued business justification and learning from experience to managing by stages, managing by exception and tailoring the method to suit the project.
Explore the People element introduced in PRINCE2 7, covering leadership styles, stakeholder engagement, team dynamics and the human side of change that drives successful project delivery.
Work with the seven PRINCE2 practices, business case, organising, plans, quality, risk, issues and progress, and the management products such as registers, logs and reports that support each one.
Follow the seven processes from Starting Up a Project through to Closing a Project, learning the activities, responsibilities and outputs that direct, manage and deliver a project stage by stage.
Prepare for the closed-book, 60-question Foundation exam with practice aligned to the 60% pass mark, so you can sit the PeopleCert exam online or at a test centre with confidence.
