Do You Qualify for the Exam?
What You Gain
From Earning PRINCE2 Foundation
For Individuals
PRINCE2 Foundation helps professionals prove they understand a recognised project method and can contribute to controlled, well-governed delivery. The credential suits those new to project management, project team members, and PMO or support staff across France who want a credible first qualification. Whether you are entering project delivery, formalising skills you already use, or supporting projects in IT, consulting, banking or the public sector, this training gives you a structured, employer-valued foundation.
If you want a clear, recognised starting point in project management, PRINCE2 Foundation is a practical choice. You gain working knowledge of the method, exam readiness, and a credential that employers across France and worldwide understand and trust.
- Earn a globally recognised, entry-level project management credential from AXELOS and PeopleCert
- Prove you can work effectively within any PRINCE2 project team from day one
- Stand out to French employers who value method fluency, not just tools
- Gain a shared, structured vocabulary for principles, practices and processes

For Organizations
PRINCE2 Foundation group training helps organisations build a shared, controlled approach to projects by equipping teams with the method's principles, practices and processes. The training can be delivered for PMOs, delivery teams or whole departments. For organisations that run many projects and want consistent governance, this programme creates a common language that improves coordination and reduces risk.

The Skills You Will Build in This Programme
A Complete View of PRINCE2 7
This training gives you working knowledge of the PRINCE2 method across its principles, people, practices and processes, plus the exam readiness to pass the PeopleCert Foundation exam. By the end you can contribute effectively within any project team that uses PRINCE2.
The PRINCE2 Method and Its Four Elements
You will learn what PRINCE2 is and how its four integrated elements, principles, people, practices and processes, work together to keep projects controlled. This is the core answer to what you learn in PRINCE2 Foundation, and it covers what changed in PRINCE2 7 (2023) versus the 6th edition, including tailoring to suit the project.
The Seven PRINCE2 Principles
Understand the seven principles that underpin every PRINCE2 project: continued business justification, learn from experience, defined roles and responsibilities, manage by stages, manage by exception, focus on products, and tailor to suit the project. You learn why each principle matters to controlled delivery.
People, Leadership and Stakeholders
Explore the People capability introduced in the 7th edition, covering leadership and management styles, stakeholder engagement, team dynamics and the human side of organisational change. This element reflects the skills that sit alongside method knowledge in real project work.
The Seven PRINCE2 Practices
Gain working knowledge of the seven practices, business case, organising, plans, quality, risk, issues and progress, along with the management products each one produces. You learn how product-based planning, quality criteria and risk responses support governed delivery.
The Seven PRINCE2 Processes
Follow the seven processes from Starting Up a Project through to Closing a Project, understanding the objectives, activities and responsibilities at each step. Processes carry the largest weight in the Foundation exam, so you build clear recall of how a project moves stage by stage.
Foundation Exam Readiness
Prepare for the PeopleCert Foundation exam: 60 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, closed book, with a 60% pass mark. Through practice questions and mock exams mapped to the PRINCE2 7 Foundation syllabus, you build the recall and comprehension the exam expects.
