    For Organizations

    For Organizations

    PRINCE2 group training helps organisations raise project governance maturity by equipping teams with a common method and consistent practice. Training can be delivered for PMOs, IT and transformation teams, or whole delivery functions. For organisations that run many concurrent projects, PRINCE2 provides the structure to prioritise, control and report on delivery in a repeatable way.

    If your teams manage projects differently from one another, PRINCE2 training creates one governance standard. Teams gain a shared approach to business justification, stage control, risk and quality that scales across the portfolio.

    • Standardises how projects are initiated, controlled and closed
    • Improves delivery predictability through defined roles, stages and tolerances
    • Supports compliance and accountability on public sector and regulated projects
    • Builds in-house PRINCE2 capability without relying on external contractors
    • Enables tailored, sector-relevant training for PMOs and delivery groups

    Industry Challenges Driving PRINCE2 Demand in Paris

    Governance and Accountability Pressure

    French public sector and regulated projects demand clear business justification, defined roles and controlled stages, the exact governance discipline the PRINCE2 method is built to provide.

    PRINCE2 builds structured governance skills

    Inconsistent Delivery Across Teams

    Many Paris organisations run projects differently team by team, causing rework and weak reporting. PRINCE2 gives everyone one repeatable approach to initiating, controlling and closing projects.

    PRINCE2 standardises project practice

    Grand Paris and Infrastructure Complexity

    Large infrastructure and transformation programmes across Ile-de-France need stage-based control, tolerances and risk management at scale, capabilities that structured PRINCE2 delivery directly supports.

    PRINCE2 builds stage and risk control skills

    Certified Method Talent Is Scarce

    The market has many project practitioners but fewer who hold a recognised method credential. PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner make holders easier to shortlist for governance-focused roles.

    PRINCE2 makes certified professionals stand out

    Digital Transformation Value Leakage

    Banks, insurers and industrial firms fund large digital programmes, but weak justification and control cause value leakage that method-literate project leaders are hired to prevent.

    PRINCE2 links delivery to business justification

    Agile and Hybrid Coordination

    Teams increasingly blend controlled governance with agile delivery. PRINCE2 7 tailoring lets professionals apply the method flexibly across waterfall, agile and hybrid project environments.

    PRINCE2 7 integrates tailoring for agile delivery

    Pricing

    How much does PRINCE2 training cost in Paris?

    PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner training in Paris is priced by format and is available on request. The combined package typically bundles instructor-led training with both PeopleCert exam vouchers. Request a quote for current pricing and upcoming batches.

    What is included in the PRINCE2 course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PeopleCert-aligned courseware, practice questions, full-length mock exams, downloadable templates, trainer-led sessions and learner support. Many packages also include both exam vouchers. Confirm exactly what is bundled when you request a quote.

    Are the exam fees included in the training price?

    It depends on the package. Combined training and dual exam bundles include both the Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers, while training-only options do not. PeopleCert exam pricing varies by region and channel, so ask a learning advisor which option fits you.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts for PRINCE2 training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for delivery teams, PMOs and transformation offices. Contact us for a tailored group quote for your organisation in Paris.

    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 payment option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Foundation exam?

    The PRINCE2 Foundation exam has 60 multiple-choice questions, lasts 60 minutes, and is closed book. The pass mark is 60 percent, meaning 36 out of 60 correct. It tests your knowledge and comprehension of the PRINCE2 method and has no formal prerequisites.

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam?

    The PRINCE2 Practitioner exam has 56 questions and sub-questions worth 70 marks, lasts 150 minutes, and is open book with the Managing Successful Projects manual permitted. The pass mark is 60 percent, meaning 42 out of 70 marks. It tests applying and tailoring PRINCE2 to project scenarios.

    What are the passing scores for both PRINCE2 exams?

    Both exams require 60 percent to pass. For Foundation that is 36 out of 60 questions correct, and for Practitioner that is 42 out of 70 marks. Both credentials are valid for three years.

    Do I need PRINCE2 Foundation before taking the Practitioner exam?

    Yes. PRINCE2 Foundation is the prerequisite for the Practitioner exam. Certain equivalent qualifications such as PMP, CAPM and IPMA levels are also accepted; verify current accepted equivalents with PeopleCert. The combined programme covers both levels in sequence.

    Where can I take the PRINCE2 exams?

    You can take both exams online through PeopleCert's online proctored system, available 24/7, or at an authorised test centre. Both are usually arranged as part of your combined training and dual exam package.

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

    You can re-sit the exam. Selected training plans include retake or flexi options to support a second attempt, and PeopleCert re-sit policies and fees apply per exam. Ask a learning advisor which retake support is included in your package.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the PRINCE2 training?

    The training covers the seven PRINCE2 principles, the People capability, the seven practices (business case, organising, plans, quality, risk, issues and progress) and the seven processes from Starting Up to Closing a Project, plus tailoring and exam strategy for both levels.

    What is new in PRINCE2 7 compared with PRINCE2 6?

    PRINCE2 7 (2023) introduces the People capability as a core element covering leadership, stakeholder engagement and team management. It renames themes to practices, incorporates commercial management, and integrates agile and sustainability considerations across the method.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes for both Foundation and Practitioner, so you can identify weak areas and build readiness for both PeopleCert exams.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    No prior experience is required for PRINCE2 Foundation, which is open to all. The Practitioner level is designed for practising or aspiring project managers, and the training is beginner-friendly while still preparing experienced professionals for the applied exam.

    Will I receive study materials and a certificate?

    Yes. You receive PeopleCert-aligned courseware, practice resources and templates during the training, plus a course completion certificate. On passing each exam, PeopleCert issues an official digital certificate and badge valid for three years.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements to enrol?

    Anyone can enrol in the training. PRINCE2 Foundation has no formal prerequisites, and the Practitioner exam requires PRINCE2 Foundation or an accepted equivalent qualification. The combined programme is structured to take you through both levels in order.

    How do I enrol in the PRINCE2 course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you would like help choosing a batch.

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans include a flexi pass to attend the training twice. Contact support to arrange a change.

    How soon can I start the PRINCE2 training?

    New batches run regularly across live online and classroom formats, so you can usually start within days. See upcoming schedules or talk to a learning advisor to pick the batch that fits your timeline.
