PRINCE2: An Established Industry Standard
In almost all of Australasia, the industry standard in Project Management frameworks is PeopleCert’s PRINCE2. The current version is version 7, as of September 2023. Full certification requires both Foundation and Practitioner (this page), which can be completed in two stages together or separately.
Full PRINCE2 certification is a powerful addition for both new PM’s, and experienced PM’s who are upgrading their certifications and wider knowledge. If a PM already holds a full PRINCE2 Version 6 certificate, it is possible to skip the full five days and go straight to a two-day Version 7 Practitioner course.
Hands-on workshops
All BCL courses are based on up to four realistic industry scenarios which represent typical Australasian current-day situations — including AI factors.
These are in addition to the standard four PeopleCert course scenarios. Up to eight ways to contextualise PRINCE2 Project Management v7.
Certification Level
The course is run under the authority of PeopleCert, the certification body.
You will receive a PeopleCert membership, all learning materials, and access to the official PRINCE2 Exam. The official book is included.
After the course you’ll sit the exam in your own time. On completing the exam (60 minutes, 60 questions, 60% pass mark), you’ll receive your Foundation certificate.
Course Delivery
The course is delivered both in-person and remotely, depending on each learner’s choice. Typically the room is made up of a mix of people in physical attendance and attendance via Teams.
You instructor will be an extensively industry-experienced Project Manager, holding a variety of certifications. This allows great cross-examination of the practical application of frameworks and methods.
Being part of a hybrid in-person and remote training group gives a great cross-section into the PM community, helps build networks, and offers even more real-world insights.
Passing the exam can be a focus point for some. You’ll be taught how to analyse the questions and work through the syllabus for later self-study, plus you’ll sample some mock exam questions.

Five Reasons Why
Whether you are self-funding, or continuing a workplace-sponsored PDP (Professional Development Plan), here are five great arguments for you — and perhaps also your line manager, capability lead or HR department — for adding a PRINCE2 Practitioner certificate to your portfolio:
1
Ready-made vocabulary and process knowledge that other PM’s and teams are already using, even in a PRINCE2-adjacent world
2
Instantly moves you through internal or external screening processes that might automatically rely on a full PRINCE2 certificate
3
Insight into how PRINCE2 projects are realistically run, through exposure to real-world practices and lifelike Australasian scenarios
4
Great awareness of how the PRINCE2 framework is used to support a variety of delivery methods, such as Agile Scrum, Kanban etc.
5
The ability to talk to PRINCE2 practically, coach teams using the methods you will learn, and lead projects with confidence
