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

The PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner (PRINCE2-F&P) certification is a globally recognised project management qualification that proves you can both work within and lead projects run under the PRINCE2 method. Governed by AXELOS and examined by PeopleCert, it is built on the current PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023), which adds the People capability, renames Themes to Practices, and weaves in agile and sustainability.

This combined pathway covers both levels. Foundation confirms your grasp of the seven principles, seven practices and seven processes, while Practitioner shows you can tailor and apply them to real project scenarios. In Essen, where energy, engineering, chemicals and construction employers run complex, governance-heavy programmes, that structured method is in steady demand.

Whether you are moving into project management or formalising years of delivery experience, the credential gives you a recognised, portable qualification. Start your PRINCE2 certification training in Essen with Invensis Learning and prepare for both exams with a clear, supported path.

Invensis Learning is a Peoplecert Accredited Training Organization (2778) in Essen, approved to deliver official PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner Certification training using accredited courseware and standards.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner is a globally recognised project management qualification governed by AXELOS and examined by PeopleCert. Foundation confirms you understand the PRINCE2 method, while Practitioner shows you can tailor and apply it to real project scenarios. Both are based on the current PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023).

General

What is the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner certification?

Who should take PRINCE2 training in Essen?

PRINCE2 suits new and aspiring project managers, team members working in PRINCE2 environments, and experienced practitioners formalising their skills. In Essen it is especially useful for professionals in energy, engineering, chemicals, construction and consulting who run structured, governance-heavy programmes.

Is PRINCE2 recognised in Essen and across Germany?

Yes. PRINCE2 is recognised worldwide, with strong demand across the UK, Europe and Germany. Essen employers in energy, engineering, chemicals and construction value the method for its structured governance, defined roles and staged control on complex projects.

Is PRINCE2 certification worth it?

PRINCE2 opens roles from project coordinator to senior and programme manager, and certified professionals report a salary uplift of around 10 per cent. With project managers in Germany averaging about EUR 64,350 a year, the credential offers a strong return for an in-demand, portable skill.

How long is the PRINCE2 certification valid?

Both PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner are valid for three years. Foundation is renewed by earning 60 CPD points per cycle. Practitioner is renewed by retaking the exam, completing CPD via a PeopleCert MyAxelos subscription, or passing a higher PRINCE2 qualification.

Pricing

How much does PRINCE2 training cost in Essen?

Instructor-led PRINCE2 training in Essen is quoted in euros and varies by format and schedule, so the current price is available on request. The exam fees are billed separately by PeopleCert. Request a quote or talk to a learning advisor for exact figures.

What is included in the PRINCE2 course fee?

The training fee typically includes accredited courseware, practice questions, mock exams, learner support and a course completion certificate. Exam vouchers are often bundled by accredited providers. Confirm what your chosen package includes when you enrol.

Are the exam fees included in the training price?

Exam fees are set by PeopleCert and may be billed separately or bundled with training, depending on the package. Pricing varies by region and channel, so confirm the current Foundation and Practitioner exam fees when you request a quote.

Do you offer corporate or group discounts for PRINCE2 training?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams and departments in Essen. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

What payment options are available?

We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

Exam

What is the format of the PRINCE2 Foundation exam?

The Foundation exam has 60 multiple-choice questions with a single answer each, is closed book, and runs for 60 minutes. The passing score is 60 per cent, which is 36 out of 60 correct. It tests your 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, runs for 150 minutes, and is open book with the PRINCE2 manual permitted. The passing score is 60 per cent, which is 42 out of 70 marks. It is scenario-based and tests application and tailoring.

What is the passing score for both PRINCE2 exams?

Both exams require 60 per cent to pass. Foundation needs 36 of 60 questions correct, and Practitioner needs 42 of 70 marks. Both can be taken online with PeopleCert proctoring or at an authorised test centre.

What are the prerequisites for the PRINCE2 exams?

Foundation has no prerequisites and is open to all. Practitioner requires PRINCE2 Foundation or an accepted equivalent such as PMP, CAPM or IPMA Level A to D. The combined programme takes you through both levels in sequence.

What happens if I do not pass an exam the first time?

You can resit the exam you did not pass. Retake policies and fees are set by PeopleCert, and selected training packages include retake support. Talk to a learning advisor about the flexible options available with your plan.

Course Content

What topics are covered in the PRINCE2 training?

The training covers the PRINCE2 7 method in full: the seven principles, the People capability, the seven practices (Business Case, Organizing, Plans, Quality, Risk, Issues and Progress) and the seven processes, plus tailoring, product-based planning and exam preparation for both levels.

Which edition of PRINCE2 is the course based on?

The course is based on the current PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023), published by PeopleCert and AXELOS. PRINCE2 7 introduced the People capability, renamed Themes to Practices, and integrated agile and sustainability considerations across the method.

Are practice tests and materials included?

Yes. The programme includes accredited courseware, practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes for both the Foundation and Practitioner levels, helping you find weak areas and build exam readiness.

Do I need prior experience to take this course?

No prior experience is required for the Foundation level, which is open to all. The training is beginner-friendly and builds up to the Practitioner level, so both newcomers and experienced project professionals can follow the combined pathway.

What credential do I receive after the course?

After passing each exam you receive the official PeopleCert digital certificate and badge for PRINCE2 Foundation and PRINCE2 Practitioner. Both credentials are valid for three years and recognised by employers worldwide.
