Invensis Learning is a Peoplecert Accredited Training Organisation (2778) in Basel, approved to deliver official PRINCE2 Foundation Certification training using accredited courseware and standards.
The PRINCE2 7 Foundation exam validates your understanding of the PRINCE2 project management methodology, including its principles, practices, processes, and project governance framework. Designed for aspiring and experienced project professionals, the certification confirms that you can understand and work effectively within a PRINCE2-managed project environment.
PRINCE2 Foundation is a recognised first step into structured project delivery, and in Basel that step matters. The city's pharmaceutical, chemical and financial employers run large, controlled project environments that reward governance, quality discipline and a shared method. Entry-level roles such as project coordinator, project support officer and PMO analyst are the common starting points, with a clear path towards project manager and beyond. Here is what the local market is telling us right now.
PRINCE2 Foundation is more than a certificate. It is your entry into the structured, governed delivery that Basel employers depend on. Join professionals who bring method and control to their projects. Start your journey today.
Basel's project market is expanding with digital transformation and regulated delivery, and employers increasingly separate professionals who know a recognised method from those who do not. Here is which side of that line you want to be on.

The PRINCE2 Foundation certification process in Basel helps learners move from training enrolment to certification readiness through a structured pathway. While the exact steps depend on the certification body, exam provider, and eligibility rules, most certification journeys include training, preparation, exam registration, assessment, and credential maintenance where applicable.
The PRINCE2 Foundation curriculum follows the official AXELOS 7th Edition syllabus and covers PRINCE2 principles, practices (formerly themes), processes, and tailoring. Modules are delivered over 2 days with hands-on case-study walkthroughs, chapter quizzes, and Foundation-format mock exams that mirror the PeopleCert paper. Practitioner-level scenario work is not included in the Foundation course.

In this course you will learn the complete PRINCE2 method at Foundation level, covering the principles, people, practices and processes that make up PRINCE2 7. By the end, you will understand how the elements work together and be ready to sit the Foundation exam with confidence.
You will learn the seven guiding 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 each project.
Understand the People capability introduced in PRINCE2 7, covering leadership styles, stakeholder engagement, team dynamics and the human side of managing change within a project environment.
Work through business case, organising, plans, quality, risk, issues and progress, and the management products that support each, so you can apply consistent control across the project life cycle.
Follow the flow from starting up a project through directing, initiating, controlling a stage, managing product delivery, managing a stage boundary and closing a project.
Learn what tailoring means and why it matters, so the method can be scaled to the size, complexity and risk of projects in regulated Basel environments.
Prepare for the closed-book, 60-question, single-answer exam with practice questions and mock tests mapped to the PRINCE2 7 Foundation syllabus and the 60 percent pass mark.
