Good news: PRINCE2 7 Found. has no formal prerequisites — it's open to anyone willing to learn. Here's what that means and the background PeopleCert recommends.
While there's no hard requirement, the background PeopleCert recommends helps the scenario questions feel intuitive rather than abstract.
PRINCE2 7 Found. requires peoplecert renewal every 3 years — 60 cpd points or another exam from the prince2 suite (verify current rules) to stay current.
Meeting the requirements gets you to the exam; passing it is a separate job. PRINCE2 7 Found. is an application exam, so the fastest route is targeted practice with explanations, not just reading. ExamDeck gives you original PRINCE2 7 Found. questions, per-area readiness, and a spaced-repetition error log — 6 free to start.
6 free questions · explanation for every option · no dumps, no ads.
Start free →Foundation tests only recall and understanding (Bloom's 1–2), but the 7th edition raised the pass mark to 60% (36/60) and shifted weight — practices plus the new people element carry 74% of marks — so candidates studying from 6th-edition materials get caught out.
PRINCE2 is a structured, process-based method dominant in the UK, Europe and government projects; PMI's PMP/CAPM is a broader framework dominant in the US. CAPM is the closest entry-level peer, and the two schemes are complementary — many practitioners hold both.
Foundation (60 closed-book questions, 60 minutes, 36/60 to pass) checks you can recall and understand the method. Practitioner (70 questions, 2h30m, open-book) checks you can apply and tailor it to a scenario — and requires Foundation first.
60 multiple-choice questions (standard, missing-word, list and negative styles), 1 mark each, no negative marking, closed book, in 60 minutes (75 minutes for candidates sitting the exam in a non-native language).
The passing score is 60% — 36 out of 60 marks (raised from 55% under the 6th edition). Aim for a consistent 80–85% on realistic practice exams before booking.
PeopleCert does not publish official pass rates, so any exact percentage quoted online is unverified. The readiness signal that actually predicts passing: consistently holding 80–85% on realistic, full-length practice exams before you book.
No formal prerequisites — open to anyone. Typical candidates: project managers, aspiring PMs, project board members, team managers and project support staff.

No — every question is original, written to test the concepts and reviewed before it ships, with an explanation linked to the source for every option. Dumps are stale, often wrong, and against PeopleCert's policies.
