Who is this qualification for?

This course covers everything needed to achieve the PRINCE2® 7 Foundation and Practitioner certifications. It is suitable for project managers, aspiring project managers and project team members. It is also relevant to other key staff involved in the design, development and delivery of projects, including:

  • Project Board members (e.g. Senior Responsible Owners)
  • Team Managers (e.g. Product Delivery Managers)
  • Project Assurance (e.g. Business Change Analysts)
  • Project Support (e.g. Project and Programme Office personnel)

Accreditation / qualification(s) offered

This PRINCE2® 7 certification is split into two different qualification levels – Foundation and Practitioner. The Foundation level will be covered in the first 3 days of this course, the final 2 days of this course will cover the Practitioner level material, demonstrating how to apply the principles and understand how to use the PRINCE2® guidance in the workplace.

Please note the Practitioner level is designed for those who need to apply and tailor PRINCE2® in a live project environment.

Anyone seeking familiarity with the PRINCE2® methodology and its terminology, but who doesn’t need to actively use or tailor it within a live project environment, may prefer to register for the PRINCE2® 7 Foundation only qualification.

There are no prerequisites to join this course as you will cover the Foundation level in the first 3 days. The Practitioner level will be covered in the following 2 days of this course. You can then decide if you take both exams during the course week, or at the end of the week. Please note, you must successfully pass both the Foundation and Practitioner exams to be awarded Practitioner certificate.

If you already have a current PRINCE2® 7 Foundation certificate, or any of the certifications listed below, you can register for the PRINCE2® Project Management Practitioner only course rather than this combined option. However, most of our learners in this position attend the Foundation and Practitioner combined course in order to refresh their Foundation knowledge.

To take the PRINCE2® Practitioner examination you must provide proof of having passed one of the following:

  • PRINCE2® Project Management 7th edition (Foundation)
  • PRINCE2® 6th Edition (Foundation or Practitioner)
  • APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ)
  • Project Professional Qualification (PPQ)
  • Project Management Professional (PMP)®
  • Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)
  • IPMA Level A® (Certified Projects Director)
  • IPMA Level B® (Certified Senior Project Manager)
  • IPMA Level C® (Certified Project Manager)
  • IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)

On completing this course, delegates will be well equipped to take a project through every stage of the project lifecycle. They will understand the PRINCE2® Project Management principles, practices and processes and be able to explain the relationship between them; demonstrating how PRINCE2® provides effective control for real-life projects. Delegates will also be confident to customise PRINCE2® Project Management in response to varying requirements.

  • Successful completion of the Foundation exam leads to the PRINCE2® 7 Foundation certification, which is valid for 3 years.
  • Successful completion of the Practitioner exam leads to the PRINCE2® 7 Practitioner certification being awarded, which is valid for 3 years.

  • "It was clear that our tutors were not only really skilled themselves, but they knew how to pass that on to others."
  • "The course was interesting and interactive, though a lot of information needed to be crammed in and consumed. Having done an Agile course a few years ago, this course helped to reinforce what was previously learned and put a project management theme to it. The instructor was very knowledgeable and explained the theory very well. The other participants were engaging and helped make the course interesting through the sharing of question and answer sessions to the relationship of past experiences."
    Ted, PRINCE2 Agile course
  • Experienced and well qualified training staff provide excellent support and are committed to improving trainees' experience.
  • "The pass rate is delivering more competent well-rounded, 'turn their hand to anything' engineers. All of the main courses delivered by MKC achieve notably higher success rates than the corresponding courses delivered by either Further Education (FE) or private training providers'."
    KPMG
  • "Dhaliwal Narinder our trainer was excellent, adding insights from her vast experience to enhance our learning. We have tried Agile and Project Management separately, now i have the opportunity to try both again in my Faculty. Receiving this course online whilst locked down was perfect."
    Kevin, PRINCE2 Agile course
  • "The use of whiteboards, real time example, breakout room and attempting the questions after every topic was really helpful. The enthusiastic tutor, made the course better."
    Anon, PRINCE2 Agile course
  • "The ideas and techniques learned in the course has changed my vision towards project management. It taught me various methods which I can apply in my career. I managed to learn new aspects of management cycle which I was unaware of. The course was very useful to me."
    Pawan, PRINCE2 Agile course
  • "Learners have a deeper understanding of their trades"
    Babcock
  • MKC significantly exceeds performance and has delivered a further £28M savings since the start of operations. Training losses have moved from 12% to 5%, trimming imes down by 20%. Innovating and driving down costs.
  • "I thoroughly enjoyed the course and got a good deal of useful information from it. I have carried out projects throughout my career, and a few years ago took the APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ), but carried out projects using my own methods. PRINCE2 is great in that it sets out a methodology for carrying out project management, and is the most widely recognised in the UK. Adding agile was the icing on the cake."
    Lara, PRINCE2 Agile
