PRINCE2® Training & Certification

PRINCE2 is the world's leading and most widely practiced project management methodology, recognized globally for delivering successful projects.

The PRINCE2 approach uses principles, practices and processes to address project management issues, providing practitioners with the knowledge to manage projects in a variety of environments. It explicitly recognizes project ownership so that participants understand each other's roles and needs, while providing clear responsibilities, delegation, authority, and communication structures. The best practice represented by the PRINCE2 approach is supported by a program offering two levels of certification: Foundation and Practitioner.

The new version of the method, PRINCE2® v7 was lauched by PeopleCert on 4 September 2023.

This new version addresses the trends and challenges in project management today.

PRINCE2 7 now includes themes such as agile, digital transformation, tailoring and managing benefits to equip project managers with the tools, knowledge, skills, and flexibility manage their projects in this fast-evolving world. Keywords are Agile practices, tailoring, managing benefits.

What happens if I hold a PRINCE2 certificate before version 7?

Your current PRINCE2 certificates remain valid until the end of their 3-year period, and will remain valid if you have subscribed to MyAxelos and collected CDP's or if you take any other certification in the PPM-suite.

If you want to become a PRINCE2 v7 professional, you will have to take the PRINCE2 v7 exams.

Candidates who have a PRINCE2 6th Ed. Foundation certificate and who wish to take the PRINCE2 Practitioner v7 certification are allowed to. However, this will demand some study of the new manual and terminology.
