Gain one of the world's most recognised project management certifications with this 3-day PRINCE2® 7 Foundation course. The seventh edition of PRINCE2® has been thoroughly updated to reflect how project management has evolved, placing greater emphasis on people, digital working, sustainability and adaptability across all project types and industries.
Delivered live in our virtual classroom by an expert instructor, this course prepares you for the PRINCE2® 7 Foundation examination, awarded by PeopleCert. It is also the required prerequisite for the PRINCE2® 7 Practitioner certification.
ITSM Hub offers multiple delivery methods including virtual classroom, self-paced online and onsite options.
PRINCE2® has been the world's leading structured project management method since its launch in 1996. The seventh edition, published in 2023 is the most significant update since 2017, responding to fundamental changes in how organisations run projects in a digital, sustainability-conscious, people-centred world.
PRINCE2® 7 is globally recognised, structured, scalable and tailorable, making it applicable to projects of any size, sector or complexity. Its focus on governance, risk management and benefits realisation sets it apart from frameworks that address only delivery.
What's new in PRINCE2® 7?
People management at the centre - formal recognition of leadership, team dynamics and stakeholder relationships as core project success factors
Enhanced flexibility and tailoring - greater guidance on adapting PRINCE2® to fit your organisation's context, culture and project type
Digital and data management - new content addressing how modern projects leverage technology, data and digital tools
Sustainability integrated into performance - project performance now includes environmental and social responsibility alongside time, cost and quality
Compatibility with Agile, Lean and ITIL - explicit guidance on working alongside other frameworks and practices
Simplified, accessible language - updated content designed to be more inclusive and relevant to a wider range of professionals
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Define the characteristics of a project and explain what distinguishes a PRINCE2® project from other project approaches
Explain the features and benefits of using PRINCE2® and describe the role of project management within it
Identify and describe the seven aspects of project performance that PRINCE2® manages: costs, timescales, quality, scope, benefits, risk and sustainability
Explain the PRINCE2® principles and describe how they provide the foundation for all project decisions
Describe the integrated elements of the PRINCE2® framework - principles, people, practices and processes, and explain how they work together
Explain the purpose and activities within each of the PRINCE2® processes, from Starting Up a Project through to Closing a Project
Describe the user/supplier project context and explain how PRINCE2® addresses the relationship between those commissioning and delivering project work
Apply and tailor PRINCE2® to suit the specific needs of a project environment

Foundation is the recommended starting point and a prerequisite for Practitioner. If you plan to pursue both certifications, save with our PRINCE2® 7 Foundation & Practitioner Bundle.
Foundation tests your knowledge and understanding of the PRINCE2® method. Practitioner tests your ability to apply and tailor the method in realistic project scenarios. Foundation is the prerequisite for Practitioner and is the right starting point for anyone new to PRINCE2®.
PRINCE2® 7 builds on the sixth edition and is recognisably the same method, but with significant updates, particularly around people management, digital working, sustainability and tailoring. If you hold a PRINCE2® 6 Foundation or Practitioner certification, you can sit the PRINCE2® 7 Practitioner exam directly without completing Foundation again.
Yes, there is pre-course reading and some assignments during the 3-day course. These are an integral part of the learning experience and your instructor will guide you through them. Setting aside time to review materials before and during the course will significantly improve your exam readiness.
Yes, PRINCE2® 7 Foundation is also available as a self-paced online course if you prefer to study independently.
