    Why Kobe Employers Need Certified Project Leaders

    Complex Engineering Delivery

    Kobe's shipbuilding, heavy industry and infrastructure projects run for years with heavy governance needs, exactly the environment PRINCE2 stages, tolerances and product planning are built to control.

    PRINCE2 builds stage control and product-based planning

    Biomedical Programme Growth

    The Kobe Biomedical Innovation Cluster hosts 360+ organisations, where regulated research and device projects demand rigorous risk, quality and business-justification discipline that PRINCE2 provides.

    PRINCE2 builds risk and quality practice skills

    Structured Delivery Skills Gap

    Kansai employers have deep pools of delivery staff but fewer professionals certified in a recognised method, making PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner holders scarce and sought-after.

    PRINCE2 makes certified project leaders stand out

    Digital Transformation Pressure

    As Kobe manufacturers and global HQs modernise systems, boards need projects governed to a common standard and tailored for agile or hybrid delivery, a core strength of PRINCE2 7.

    PRINCE2 builds tailoring and governance skills

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

    PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner is a combined project management qualification based on the current PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023), governed by AXELOS and examined by PeopleCert. Foundation validates your understanding of the method, while Practitioner proves you can apply and tailor it to real project scenarios.

    General

    What is PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner certification?

    PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner is a combined project management qualification based on the current PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023), governed by AXELOS and examined by PeopleCert. Foundation validates your understanding of the method, while Practitioner proves you can apply and tailor it to real project scenarios.

    Is PRINCE2 certification worth it in Kobe?

    Yes. PRINCE2 is recognised in 200+ countries and valued by Kobe employers in manufacturing, shipbuilding, biomedical and IT that run governance-critical projects. With deep delivery talent but fewer certified method specialists, PRINCE2 holders stand out in the local market.

    Who should take this PRINCE2 combined course?

    The course suits project coordinators, delivery leads, practising project managers, and IT or engineering professionals moving into project roles. Foundation has no prerequisites, so it is open to anyone new to PRINCE2, while Practitioner adds applied, tailoring skills for those managing projects.

    How long is the PRINCE2 certification valid?

    Both PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner are valid for three years. Practitioner can be renewed by retaking the exam, completing continuing professional development via a PeopleCert MyAxelos subscription, or passing a higher-level PRINCE2 qualification.

    What is new in PRINCE2 7 compared with PRINCE2 6?

    PRINCE2 7 (2023) introduces the People capability as a core element, renames Themes to Practices, and integrates agile, sustainability and commercial management. The training is built on the PRINCE2 7 Managing Successful Projects manual so you learn the current method.

    Pricing

    How much does PRINCE2 training cost in Kobe?

    Training fees vary by format, whether live virtual, classroom, self-paced or corporate, and are available on request. The PeopleCert exam fees for Foundation and Practitioner are billed separately under regional pricing. Request a quote for current pricing and schedules.

    What is included in the PRINCE2 course fee?

    The fee typically includes official PRINCE2 7 courseware, trainer-led sessions, practice questions, mock exams, scenario exercises and learner support, plus a course completion certificate. Exam vouchers may be bundled depending on the package. Talk to a learning advisor for details.

    Are the exam fees included in the training price?

    Exam fees are set by PeopleCert and may be bundled with the training or purchased separately, depending on the package you choose. Confirm what is included when you request a quote so you can plan both training and exam costs.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for project offices, engineering units and delivery teams in Kobe. Contact us for a tailored group 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 and to see upcoming batches.

    Exam

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam is closed book with 60 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 60 minutes. The pass mark is 60%, meaning 36 correct answers. It tests knowledge and comprehension of the PRINCE2 method.

    What is the format of the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam is open book, using the PRINCE2 manual, with 56 questions and sub-questions worth 70 marks over 150 minutes. The pass mark is 60%, meaning 42 marks. It is scenario based and tests applying and tailoring PRINCE2.

    How many exams are in the combined programme?

    There are two separate PeopleCert exams. You sit and pass the Foundation exam first, then the Practitioner exam. Both must be passed to hold both credentials. The four-day combined programme prepares you for each level in sequence.

    Where can I take the PRINCE2 exams?

    Both exams can be taken online through PeopleCert's OnVUE online proctored system, available 24/7, or at a PeopleCert authorised test centre. Most candidates arrange the exams through the training package.

    Do I need Foundation before Practitioner?

    Yes. PRINCE2 Foundation, or an accepted equivalent such as PMP, CAPM or IPMA Level A to D, is required before taking Practitioner. The combined course covers both, so you build Foundation knowledge first, then applied Practitioner skills.

    Course Content

    What topics does the PRINCE2 training cover?

    The training covers the seven PRINCE2 principles, the People capability, the seven practices (Business Case, Organizing, Plans, Quality, Risk, Issues, Progress) and the seven processes, plus product-based planning and tailoring, all aligned to the PRINCE2 7th Edition.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    No. PRINCE2 Foundation has no formal prerequisites, so beginners are welcome. The trainer builds concepts from the ground up before moving into the applied Practitioner scenarios, with support throughout for those new to structured project management.

    What learning resources are provided?

    You receive official PRINCE2 7 courseware, practice questions, full mock exams, scenario exercises, quizzes and references to the PRINCE2 Managing Successful Projects manual, all aligned to the current syllabus for both exam levels.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest PRINCE2 edition?

    Yes. All content is aligned to the PRINCE2 7th Edition (2023) and the PRINCE2 7 Managing Successful Projects manual published by PeopleCert and AXELOS, so you study the current standard, not an older version.

    Will I receive a certificate after the training?

    Yes. After completing the training you receive a course completion certificate. The formal PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner credentials and digital badges are issued by PeopleCert once you pass each exam.
