If you work in Project Management or have always wanted to work in this growing domain, you've wondered what steps you need to take to get certified to progress in your career. PRINCE2 certification check is highly regarded in the profession and demonstrates to employers your mastery of essential project management ideas and how to apply them across the project management lifecycle. 

In this article, you will get the step by step guide to the PRINCE2 certification check and PRINCE2 certificate verification- Qualifications & Exams.

What is the PRINCE2 Exam

The PRINCE2 exam assists you in gaining knowledge of the PRINCE2 technique, a process-based method for effective project management and will give you the fundamental skills you need to become a successful project manager managing projects of any size or complexity. 

PRINCE2 certification comes in four levels: 

  • PRINCE2® 2017 Foundation: certifies that the bearer has adequate knowledge and comprehension of the PRINCE2 technique to work in a project management team that uses this approach. 
  • PRINCE2® 2017 Practitioner: certifies the holder has gained sufficient knowledge of how to implement PRINCE2 in a scenario circumstance and will be able to begin applying the approach to a real project with appropriate guidance. Axelos and test centres provide all parts of the exam in their test examinations. 
  • PRINCE2 Agile® foundation: It was issued in June 2018 and verifies the holder's knowledge and comprehension of the PRINCE2 technique and agile way of working, as well as how agile may be coupled with PRINCE2. 
  • PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner: certifies the holder's ability to use PRINCE2 project management principles while incorporating agile ideas such as Scrum and Kanban. 

With the PRINCE2 training course, you will get the hands-on experience necessary to pass the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner exams. With its interactive learning elements, the course comprehensively covers the PRINCE2 certification test objectives. The PRINCE2 test training course teaches you about all of the restrictions of project management using real-life scenarios, and it covers topics like organizing and planning a theme, what a quality theme looks like, what a risk theme is, how to update the theme, and more. 

How to Verify PRINCE2 Certification

PRINCE2 certificate verification is listed in a register that can be sorted by Exam Scheme (Certification name), Candidate first and last names, Candidate number, and Exam Date. Because the register's ownership was moved from one accreditor to another (AXELOS), the registration was sporadically available for some time. How to check PRINCE2 certification status, for ITIL successful candidates register is currently available at Axelos. The site advises that, while it is routinely updated, its data is not always immediately available, so if someone recently passed the certification, you may need to check PRINCE2 certification status at a later date. 

If you're searching for someone who isn't on the Successful Applicants Registry or can't offer you a copy of their prinec2 qualification check certification, AXELOS explains they can offer candidates a Certificate Confirmation Letter, which they can transfer with you.

PRINCE2 - How to Verify Certification Validity

To verify the validity of your PRINCE2 practitioner certification check, go to the AXELOS official website and select the Certifications option. You'll notice a tab labelled 'Verify Certification' under that one. When you click on that tab, you will be requested to provide your last name and certification ID. Your certification ID is printed on the certificate you received from PRINCE2 after passing your exam. If you misplaced or lost your certificate, please contact the AXELOS customer service team to retrieve your certificate and certification ID and then check PRINCE2 certification status. 

The Practitioner exam is valid for 5 years and thereafter becomes invalid. Professionals will be required to take and pass the PRINCE2® re-registration test 3-5 years after passing their previous practitioner exam. As a result, you must ensure that you regularly do PRINCE2 qualification check to keep it up to date and maintain your certification. If you let your certification lapse, you must take the certification test to regain your certification.
