Which is harder PRINCE2 Foundation or Practitioner?

The PRINCE2 Practitioner exam is harder than the PRINCE2 Foundation exam. This is reflected in the pass rates.

In the UK, the national average pass rate for Foundation is 97% and for Practitioner it is 73%. The PRINCE2 Practitioner certification is the next step after completing the PRINCE2 Foundation certification.

The more advanced PRINCE2 Practitioner course builds on the knowledge and skills learned in the PRINCE2 Foundation course, and it provides in-depth, practical guidance on how to apply the PRINCE2 methodology to real-life project situations.

The PRINCE2 Practitioner training covers topics such as project governance, risk management, and quality control, and it includes a range of practical tools and techniques that can be used to plan, manage, and deliver successful projects. This course is ideal for experienced project managers who want to improve their project management skills and advance their careers.
