PRINCE2 Foundation Training Course FAQs

  • All Project Managers (certified and uncertified)
  • Aspiring Project Managers
  • For everyone aiming to enhance their project management skills

There are no mandatory requirements to attend this course, however, attendees should have some knowledge and experience with projects.

We recommend you read the PRINCE2 7 Official eBook before your course. The PRINCE2 materials can be accessed two weeks before the course.

The Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 7 eBook with your exam voucher will be emailed to you and can be downloaded via the PeopleCert portal.

During the course, two hours of evening study each night is required.

You will receive an exam voucher and a link to register and schedule your online exam sessions with the PeopleCert web proctoring service.  You will take your exams after you have completed your training course.  Visit the PeopleCert website for more information on the logistics of taking your web-proctored exam with PeopleCert.

The PRINCE2 7 Foundation exam is a 60-minute, multiple choice closed book exam.  There are 60 questions, and the pass mark is 36/60 (60% or above).

Learning Tree will set up the Take2 option for all attendees for publicly scheduled course events when we order your exam voucher. If you aren’t successful on your first exam, you will be notified by PeopleCert that you are eligible to register for the exam retake.

Unfortunately, those who attended a course before 2023 and attendees of private or closed training events are not eligible for this benefit unless this has been pre-agreed.

Though exam vouchers can cost hundreds, there is no additional cost to you to sign up for the Take2 re-sit programme. Take2 is an additional complimentary benefit offered to you by Learning Tree.

Yes, you must re-sit the exam within six months of your initial exam.

PeopleCert CPDs are the continuing education credits that help you maintain PeopleCert certifications in PRINCE2, ITIL and DevOps Institute. 

Maintaining PeopleCert Certifications
All PeopleCert Business and IT certifications (including PRINCE2, ITIL and DOI) must be renewed within three years of their original certification date. There are two ways to keep certifications current: 

  1. Join PeopleCert Plus (a paid membership) to earn 20 CPDs per year for 3 years and renew certifications that way. 
  2. Earn another certification from the same Product Suite (for example, to renew all ITIL certifications you can earn a new ITIL certification) 

Eligible Learning Tree Training
Learning Tree training is not eligible for the PeopleCert Plus CPD program. Attendees can renew their PeopleCert certifications with Learning Tree by enrolling in another certification from the product suite they're trying to renew. Examples: 

  1. If you hold an ITIL 4 Foundation certification, and you acquire an ITIL 4 Practitioner or ITIL 4 Specialist certification, all your certification(s) belonging to the ITIL 4 Product Suite will be renewed.
  2. Similarly, if you hold a PRINCE2 Practitioner certification and you acquire an MSP Foundation, all your certification(s) belonging to the PRINCE2 Project, Programme & Portfolio Management Suite will be renewed.

Learn more about eligibility and CPDs on the PeopleCert website: Keep your certifications current| (peoplecert.org)

Attendee Process for Renewing PeopleCert Certifications with Learning Tree
Once an attendee successfully earns a PeopleCert certification from the same product suite they're trying to renew, their other certifications in that product suite will automatically renew.
