This course covers the roles, principles, themes, and processes that form the structure of PRINCE2 6th Edition. It also explains the various PRINCE2 6th Edition management products that will help delegates deliver projects in a coordinated, consistent, and transparent manner. Throughout the course, PRINCE2 experts help delegates understand the benefits of adopting the PRINCE2 6th Edition methodology.
The exam certification accredited by PeopleCert on behalf of Axelos is included in the cost of this course.
All delegates enrolled on virtual course bookings receive a hard copy of course materials sent to a preferred postal address.
The purpose of re-registration is to ensure that PRINCE2 Practitioners keep their knowledge current. As part of the PRINCE2 2017 update, Axelos made changes to the re-registration requirements to reflect the growing importance of professional development. From the release of the new guidance and exams in mid-2017, end learners certified in PRINCE2 will be encouraged to remain current through a new program linked to PRINCE2 Membership. This will enable Practitioners to record CPD (Continuing Professional Development) activities on an annual basis, which they can collect throughout the year. CPD allows practitioners to demonstrate they are maintaining their professional expertise and avoids the need for a mandatory re-registration exam.
AXELOS no longer provide PRINCE2 2009 Re-registration as of the end of 2017. You can no longer re-register with the 2009 version but need to sit the 2017 Practitioner exam.

PRINCE2 Membership offers an alternative option for candidates. In order to remain current with their certification candidates must satisfy the following criteria within the three-year period:
If a candidate has satisfied the above two criteria they will be considered current and issued a new certificate at the end of year three that is valid for a further three years. You will only receive a new certificate if your digital badge has been maintained for the three-year period
To support candidates who wish to remain current, AXELOS will be including one year’s PRINCE2 Membership with every PRINCE2 2017 update Practitioner exam. Once a candidate successfully passes their exam AXELOS will contact them with details of how to activate their membership and claim a digital badge
Current PRINCE2 certifications (issued prior to the release of the updated PRINCE2 guidance and exam in mid-2017) remain valid until the expiry date shown on the certificate. These candidates can maintain their current registration via AXELOS Membership and logging the required 20 CPD points each year to maintain their digital badge. However, these individuals will not be issued a new certificate at the end of three years, instead, their digital badge is proof that they have maintained their professional expertise
The membership service is currently only available in English. AXELOS will though accept CPD submissions in languages other than English and be able to audit if required
The changes to re-registration are only applicable to PRINCE2 Practitioners taking the English language version of the 2017 examination. Existing translated exams of 2009 PRINCE2 will still be available as will their re-registration exams
Existing PRINCE Practitioners who need to convert to the latest version (PRINCE2)
Current PRINCE2 Practitioners who wish to re-affirm their status as a 'Registered' PRINCE2 Practitioner
Candidates must hold the Prince2 Practitioner Certificate
Candidates must bring their existing PRINCE2 Manual with them to the event
Proof of prerequisites must be submitted no later than 5 working days prior to the start of the event. This evidence MUST be reproduced on the day of the exam to the trainer.
Acceptable forms of prerequisite confirmation are as follows:
Delegates without evidence of the prerequisites will NOT be permitted to sit the exam.
At the end of this course you will be able to:
In conjunction with the pre-course material, the course ensures that theory is embedded and delegates feel confident in the practical application of PRINCE2. Additional evening work will be required in the form of consolidation reading and mock examination questions. The evening work is an integral part of the course and delegates should expect to spend approximately two hours on these activities.
In conjunction with the pre-course material, the course will cover the following syllabus areas:
PRINCE2 Overview
Delegates are introduced to the world of projects and project management and to the overall structure of the PRINCE2 method. The benefits of adopting a formal project management method will also be outlined.
PRINCE2 Principles
PRINCE2 operates with a universal set of principles that can be applied to every project. These seven principles provide the framework of good practice upon which PRINCE2 is based.
PRINCE2 Themes
The seven PRINCE2 themes are aspects of the project that must be continually addressed and linked together in order for the project to be delivered effectively.
PRINCE2 Processes
The seven PRINCE2 processes define the activities that are required to direct, manage and deliver the project successfully. The following processes run from pre-project, through initiation and delivery, up to and including project closure.
Throughout the course, delegates will be exposed to numerous examples of examination questions. We will undertake a number of exercises and question-and-answer sessions that will help to consolidate the learning, thereby ensuring that delegates are more than adequately prepared for the PRINCE2 Practitioner re-registration examination.
