Purpose of the PRINCE2 Foundation Certification

The Foundation Level certification introduces the PRINCE2 method and aims to confirm that you know and understand the PRINCE2 method well enough to be able to work effectively with, or as a member of, a project management team working within an environment supporting PRINCE2. The Foundation certification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner certification.
