All PRINCE2 foundation certifications are offered by AXELOS, which is the accrediting body for PRINCE2 foundation certification. 

You can self-study and take the examination directly through an AXELOS Examination Institute like PeopleCert®  without attending an accredited training course, for a PRINCE2 Foundation certification.

However, undertaking a formalized training program through an Accredited Training Organization (ATO) like KnowledgeHut highly increases your chances of being successful in the exam. Most importantly, beyond providing extensive exam preparation, the PRINCE2 Foundation training will equip you with real-world skills and help you stand out among your peers.

Here are the steps you should follow to become PRINCE2 Foundation certified: 
  1. Fulfill the eligibility requirements.  
  2. Decide whether to self-study or get trained by an Accredited Training Organization (ATO).

Practice extensively.
  5. If you have decided to self-study, schedule the exam through PeopleCert. If you have enrolled with KnowledgeHut, we will schedule the exam on a date suitable for you. You can take the test online via PeopleCert Online Proctoring or at a Training Organization convenient for you. All you need is a PC or Mac computer and an internet connection.
  6. If you're taking the exam at a training organization near you, you will need to carry with you: (1) a print-out of the exam schedule from PeopleCert; (2) Proof of identity like passport, driving license.
  7. You'll get to see your preliminary result on your computer screen instantly on completing your test. Your official results/e-certificate will be issued by PeopleCert within 2 business days. You'll then be able to see your result and download your certificate.
  8. Download your certificate from your PeopleCert profile after two business days of completing the exam.
On passing the exam, AXELOS will send you an email regarding the My AXELOS membership and how you can activate it.

I attended the Prince 2 foundation course with KnowledgeHut institute. They were really good in providing course materials and scheduling time frames. The mentor was a really patient teacher who answered all the questions with accurate details to make sure you understood everything without any doubts for you. I highly recommend my friends and colleagues to take a course with this high-quality teaching methods.
