The BCS PRINCE2 Foundation exam is the official BCS / AXELOS / PeopleCert test registered under exam code PRF. Passing it earns you the PRINCE2® Foundation certification, a credential at the Foundation level. It is also linked to the related certifications: PRINCE2® Practitioner, PRINCE2® Agile Practitioner. BCS / AXELOS / PeopleCert exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.

The BCS PRINCE2 Foundation exam includes 60 questions to be completed within 60 (75 for non-native language). Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

To pass the BCS PRINCE2 Foundation exam you need 36/60 (60%), and the official registration fee is USD 250–350 / GBP 200–280. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 250–350 / GBP 200–280 again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

No formal prerequisites; no prior project management experience required

Eligibility rules do change from time to time, so confirm the current requirements before you register on the official exam page.
