Achieving Foundation-level certification demonstrates sufficient understanding of the method for someone to work effectively within, or supporting, a project.
NB: Foundation certification is required before achieving Practitioner certification.
The PRINCE2 Practitioner certification is for anyone managing projects. This could be as part of a formal project management function or a role in which project management is an inherent part of day-to-day work. The Practitioner certification aims to confirm that you have sufficient knowledge and understanding in order to apply and tailor the method in a range of different project environments and scenarios.
This certification is aimed at current and aspiring project managers or professionals who manage projects. 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) and operational line managers/staff.
Reasons to sit the examination:
The Foundation examination is the entry level for PRINCE2, no formal prerequisites exist.
