Both qualifications look great on your CV and, especially in the UK, you’ll find these qualifications highly demanded by employers.

In many countries, especially in the UK and Europe, more and more employers are looking for candidates with PRINCE2 certification. Without certification, you’ll be at a disadvantage compared to candidates who have the certification.

Yes – as part of your pre-course study and homework you will be given access to 2 full sample Foundation and 2 full sample Practitioner/Re-registration exam papers.

The Practitioner exam lasts for 2.5 hours, but has different styles of multiple choice question, and tests candidates on their ability to apply the method to a particular project scenario.
