Foundation


The PRINCE2 Foundation qualification is the first of two PRINCE2 qualifications required to become a PRINCE2 Practitioner.
You can complete PRINCE2 Foundation to learn the basics – terminology and a comprehensive introduction to PRINCE2 or a 3-day PRINCE2 Foundation tutor-led classroom course at our training centre.
If you would like PRINCE2 Practitioner certification, you should complete a combined PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner course.
