Not Included
The official manual is not included in this package. The manual is not necessary for the course, but will be helpful in the exam because the exam is open-book. You can buy it from TSO, or other online shops for £85.Prerequisites
Prerequisites for the exam:
You must have at least one of the following certificates: PRINCE2 Foundation, PMP®, CAPM®, IPMA-D, IPMA-C, IPMA-B, IPMA-A.
It’s recommended to take an accredited course (such as our course here).
Regardless of the official prerequisites, you need to be familiar with PRINCE2 at the Foundation level before taking this advanced course. If you’re not familiar with PRINCE2, we recommend that you take the PRINCE2 Foundation course.
Take²
Axelos offers an option called Take² (aka 'Take2' and 'Take 2'). With this option, by paying an extra amount upfront, you will get a free second attempt in the exam if you fail the first one.
To use the option, add it to your cart in addition to the main item before making the payment. Please note that you shouldn't buy the Take² option without the course/exam bundle, and it's not possible to include it after the exam is booked.
Money-Back Guarantee
We want to be sure that you’re satisfied with the course. If you’re not, you can ask for and receive a full refund for the course for up to 30 days after your purchase, while you’re in the first 30% of the course. If your purchase includes an official exam, the exam cost can be fully refunded for up to 10 days. (More information)Contents of the course
The course is designed for busy professionals; most lessons are 10 to 15 minutes long, so that you can take one or two per day, without much effort. Also, we’ve avoided homework and covered it in other ways, because you probably don’t have enough time and mental energy to spend many hours by yourself doing homework.

Study Path
- If you don’t already have the official manual, buy it. This is very helpful, because the exam is open-book and you can use the manual during the exam.
- Take the lessons:
- Use the option above the lessons to select the standard or extended version. The extended version is 1.5 to 2 times longer than the standard version. If you’re not in a rush, we recommend taking the extended version. You can always change this option.
- It’s best if you spend 15 to 30 minutes a day, every day. A gradual learning process is much more effective than an intense one. We’ve built the course with short, independent lessons to make it possible for you to study them gradually.
- The two trainers, Frank and Nader, discuss multiple scenarios in each lesson. After Frank asks Nader a question, pause the video and think about the answer and check the official manual. Only when you’re done with the answer, play the rest of the video and watch their discussion over the topic.
- While you’re learning, don’t worry about memorizing anything. If something is important, we’ll repeat it so many times from different perspectives that you will automatically remember it.
- Take notes, build mind maps, or draw diagrams while you’re taking the lessons. This helps you understand the lessons better and stay focused, even if you never use those notes.
- We’ll register you with the examination institute and send you the exam voucher. Vouchers are valid for one year.
- Now take the first sample exam. Don’t worry if your score is not high enough; you still have to learn the style of questions. Check the answer and rationale and see how you can perform better in the next sample exams.
- Take the next 3 sample exams. Check your answers each time, find your weaknesses, and take the related lessons again. By the time you reach the last sample exam, you should be able to get a score of higher than 65%.
- Using your voucher, book the date and time of your exam with the examination institute.
- Take the official exam.
- Let us know about your success! We’re always happy to receive good news :)
The guide above is our generic recommendation. If you’re in an especial situation, feel free to contact us; we can work together and recommend a custom study path to you.
FAQ
The following are the most common questions. Feel free to contact us if you can’t find the answer to your question here.You can take the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam if you have at least one of the following certificates:
- PRINCE2 Foundation
- PMP®
- CAPM®
- IPMA levels A, B, C, or D
You can take the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam if you have at least one of the following certificates:
- PRINCE2 Foundation
- PMP®
- CAPM®
- IPMA Levels A, B, C, or D
Please note, however, that our PRINCE2 Practitioner eLearning course is designed for candidates who are already familiar with PRINCE2 at the Foundation level. So, if you’re not PRINCE2 Foundation certified but you can still take the exam because you satisfy the prerequisites by having other certificates such as PMP and IPMA-D, you may find the Practitioner course too difficult. In that case, we suggest that you take the PRINCE2 Foundation course first. You don’t have to take the PRINCE2 Foundation exam if you have one of the other certificates, but the course is necessary.
Yes. See this article: How to Submit PDUs
We recommend the following number of PDUs for this course:
- Leadership:
- All certificates: 18
- Strategic:
- All certificates: 12
- Technical:
- PMP: 18
- PgMP: 18
- PfMP: 2
- PMI-PBA: 1
- PMI-ACP: 4
- PMI-RMP: 2
- PMI-SP: 0
- CAPM: 18
Since January 2020, training organizations have not been allowed to issue certificates of completion for AXELOS programs. If you need to show that you’ve taken a course (e.g., to submit PDUs with PMI), we’ll issue a letter of course attendance for you.
Nevertheless, you will still get your official certificate by passing the exam.
This course has two versions: the standard version, which takes about 20 hours, and the extended version, which is about 50 hours.
Both versions are available to you when you buy the course, and you can change the version in your settings at any time. Some interested learners take the extended version first, and then take the standard version to review everything.
It’s a self-paced online course. You can start the course whenever you want and proceed at any speed that suits you.
You’ll have unlimited access to the course for one year, and you can retake certain lessons or even the whole course if you find it necessary.
The exam is available in the following languages:
- English
- German
- Dutch
- Polish
Most candidates prefer to take the exam in English though.
PRINCE2 is a project management methodology that tells you what you need to do, and all about the roles and responsibilities, documents, etc.
PRINCE2 is the most popular project management methodology that is usable in every type of project.
Note: In case you’re familiar with the PMBOK® Guide, it’s worth mentioning that the PMBOK Guide is not a methodology and is designed to tell you “how” to do things (that you know you want to do), while PRINCE2 is designed to answer the “what”, “when”, and “by whom” questions instead. These two together form a great combination.

eLearning Course vs. Classroom Course
Why Management Plaza?
There are many eLearning providers, and you might be wondering which one is the best choice for you. In fact, it’s a simple decision: all you have to do is to watch demos of the courses and compare them :) Just be careful with one thing: there are some providers who create one or a few interesting videos as samples, while the rest of the course doesn’t have anything to do with that.
