PRINCE2® Practitioner Exam
Who attends this PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Course?
We recommend PRINCE2® certification for anyone seeking an established, internationally recognised project management qualification. It is particularly beneficial as a way for those with little experience in the field of project management to gain a respected certification.
As the use of PRINCE2® is a requisite in many large Irish and UK organisations, (including many government departments), it’s a must-have for anyone serious about a career in project management.
Although some experience is helpful, there are no formal eligibility requirements for sitting the PRINCE2® Foundation exam.
About PRINCE2® Project Management
PRINCE2® is one of the most widely adopted project management methodologies in the world. In fact, many large organisations, institutions, and state agencies in Ireland and the UK mandate the use of PRINCE2® processes for projects.
PRINCE2® stands for Projects IN a Controlled Environment. If you were to try and define the methodology in a short sentence, you could say that it focuses on what needs to be done in a project, and by whom.
Wondering if PRINCE2 is the right certification for you?
Deciding on the right option for your project management training and certification needs can be a daunting process. Our project management experts are happy to talk you through the options and help you make the best choice for your career.

We run this course throughout the year in Dublin. Our Dublin training venues are all located outside the city centre, helping you to avoid traffic! Each training venue is situated close to the M50 and offers free parking for our delegates.
This course takes place over 5 consecutive days. Each day runs from 9.30am – 5.00pm. Training takes place on weekdays (usually Monday – Friday).
Here is our effective format for PRINCE2® certification:
- Once you confirm your course place, you’ll receive access to our pre-course familiarisation reading. This takes between 5 – 6 hours to complete in advance of attending training. It is very important that you complete this reading.
- Our training is 5 consecutive days in length. You will complete both the Foundation and Practitioner level exams during training. Note: You will need to allow time for study each evening during training.
- Once you have passed your exams, you will receive your PRINCE2® certification!
Using the format explained in the question above, it is possible to get PRINCE2® certified within 1 week during training plus the 5 – 6 hours of pre-course reading.
This course has an exam preparation focus, meaning that it is very intensive and theoretical in style.
Although you will certainly gain knowledge and understanding of the PRINCE2® framework, you will spend a high proportion of time during training concentrating on exam preparation.
The PRINCE2® Foundation certification will never expire or need to be renewed. You will need to renew your Practitioner certification every 3 years.
This can achieved either by re-sitting your Practitioner exam, or through Axelos membership (costs apply).
There are 3 things we ensure all delegates know before the course begins:
- It is very important that you take the time to complete the pre-course reading we provide. This usually takes about 5 – 6 hours.
- You will need to allow time for study every evening during training. With this in mind, we recommend keeping other commitments during the course to a minimum where possible.
- This is an exam preparation course. As such, it is quite intensive and does not incorporate a lot of practical work.
There are no official experience requirements set out by Axelos for those working towards PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner certifications.
Although we sometimes have participants with no project management experience, we have found that some familiarity with a project management environment is helpful.
You will complete both the Foundation and Practitioner exams in class, during training.
The Foundation exam takes place on the afternoon of Day 3. You must pass this exam to progress to Practitioner level.
The Practitioner exam takes place on the afternoon of Day 5.
