How long does it take to study PRINCE2?

How long it takes to study PRINCE2 depends upon the study method, the person, and the certification you aim for. The classroom PRINCE2 Foundation course takes students 2 days to complete, during which they learn the basics of PRINCE2. For online study, the Foundation course typically takes about 12 hours to complete.

The classroom PRINCE2 Practitioner course, which teaches candidates how to apply PRINCE2 in real-world situations, takes an additional 2 days, while online study for the Practitioner course typically takes around 24 hours.

These timelines may vary depending on the individual and the specific course they are taking.
