This PRINCE2® Course is intensive exam preparation that will prepare you to sit both the Foundation and Practitioner exams. Our goal is that you will understand the processes, roles, principles, and themes of the PRINCE2® framework, and feel confident that you can pass your exams first time.
Our course format is focused on providing you with the resources you need to achieve PRINCE2® Certification. We include 5 days of classroom-based or virtual training, course materials and sample exam questions, and both examinations. The only additional resource you need to purchase is the official AXELOS textbook (see “More About This Course” below).
We recommend in-house training for any organisation that has several candidates for PRINCE2® certification. It's a brilliantly flexible and efficient way to train your team.
We offer in-house training in all formats: classroom, live virtual, and online. We can advise on the right fit for your team's training when you request a tailored quote.
Get a QuoteOverall I was very pleased and would definitely consider doing other courses with Professional Development. I found the preparation and organization, customer service provided by the training consultant and the booking process excellent.
The course content is very clear, the content surprised me. Definitely given me more confidence that I have good structure in place in my current work but also surprised how much benefit it may bring to my current role and any future roles.
I think it’s a challenge for any trainer to deliver a course online. I think the success of the delivery was mainly down to the trainer and their delivery. [The trainer] is very calm, clear and consistent in his delivery.
Being able to do the course remotely worked for me I may not have been able to do the course at this time otherwise due to work commitments. Discussions were very effective, the addition of the online learning - videos, slides and sample questions were excellent.
I thought the virtual delivery was great. I was worried about spending so much time sitting in front of a computer but the time flew and we had good breaks that helped.
I like the virtual classroom, it’s really handy in this type of scenario (global outbreak). The trainer was amazing, nothing to add to his class. Being able to practice with real tests to have an idea of what we will find the day of the exam was great.

As this course focuses on achieving both Foundation and Practitioner certifications, we have divided our objectives and the course into two sections:
By the end of days 1 - 3, you will gain a thorough knowledge of the “Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2® publication, Sixth Edition, AXELOS Limited, Copyright 2017” manual, including:
By the end of days 4 and 5, you will be able to apply and tailor PRINCE2® to address the needs and problems of a given project scenario. Your ability to do this will be examined by the use of official AXELOS case studies. You will:
This PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner training is available in 3 formats: classroom, virtual, and in-house team training.
Classroom training is in-person, scheduled courses that run in Dublin throughout the year.
Virtual training is similar to classroom, but you connect remotely from wherever you're located.
In-house means that we deliver the training to your team only. This can be in any style (classroom or virtual). For classroom training, we come to your location.
You can access our live virtual training courses from anywhere in the world.
We run our classroom 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.
The classroom and virtual version of this course takes place over 5 days. Each day runs from 9.30am – 5.00pm.
Classroom training runs as 5 consecutive days, usually Monday – Friday. Virtual training provides a gap between Days 1 - 3 and Days 4 & 5. We will give you a listing of all dates when you get in touch to book your place.
Here is our effective format for PRINCE2® certification with classroom and virtual training:
Using our classroom or virtual format, it is possible to get PRINCE2® certified within 2 weeks. This depends on the time you allocate for study and your exam slot.
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 must 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 for our classroom and live virtual training know before the course begins:
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. The Practitioner exam takes place on the afternoon of Day 5.
Exams for virtual training are taken outside of training hours.
Most students sit their Foundation exam in the gap between Days 1 - 3 and Days 4 & 5. We strongly recommend this approach. Following training, you'll schedule and sit your online Practitioner exam when ready.
