Pre-requisites

Learners need to possess an undergraduate degree or a high school diploma. Also, the PRINCE2 7 Foundation Exam should be completed and passed to apply for the PRINCE2 7 Practitioner examination. If you are already certified in PRINCE2 6 Foundation and want to upgrade to the new version, you can take the PRINCE2 7 Practitioner exam directly. However, we recommend starting with PRINCE2 7 Foundation training due to the changes in terminologies and the addition of new material.

PRINCE2® is widely recognized and used in the private and public sectors. The credential is offered by an international project management association called Axelos in collaboration with various training partners. The PRINCE2® method is in the public domain and offers non-proprietary best practice guidance on project management.

    An extension of the methodologies of PRINCE2, the PRINCE2 Agile concerns agile practices and agile project delivery. PRINCE2 Agile follows the same controlled approach of project management as focused by PRINCE2, but the only addition is more flexibility and adaptability in agile practices.

    • Upon passing the respective exams, the PRINCE2 certificate is issued by AXELOS.

    Ali Ghosn

    Project Officer

    Even after 16 years of work, my career stalled until I pursued a PRINCE2 certification. The PRINCE 2 certificate from Simplilearn helped me secure a Project Officer role with Victoria's Department of Justice and Community Safety. Simplilearn's flexible learning was crucial, especially with a newborn and a busy job.
