PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation Certificate in Agile Project Management

This course helps you understand key concepts relating to Agile, projects and PRINCE2 Agile Foundation Version 2. It explains how structure and flexibility work together to support responsive, controlled and collaborative delivery.

PRINCE2 Agile combines Agile practices with PRINCE2 governance. This allows delivery teams to use feedback, iteration and adaptable planning while maintaining clear decision-making, business justification and accountability.

The PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation (Version 2) course is delivered over three days through scheduled live Virtual Classroom training. (ILX Group)

These virtual classroom study options allow you to join trainer-led sessions from your computer or laptop. You can ask questions, take part in discussions, review examples and work through guided exam preparation with other learners.

You must complete a mandatory online pre-course before your live sessions begin. This preparation introduces important concepts and gives you a stronger starting point for the main training.

Your course includes the official digital manual and PRINCE2 Agile process map. You can use these materials during your learning and revision, although the Foundation exam itself is closed book.

The official PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation (Version 2) exam is included. It tests whether you understand the principles, terminology, behaviours, concepts and techniques covered during the training.

A minimum of 24 correct answers is needed to pass the Foundation exam. The assessment contains 40 questions, so this is equal to the required pass mark of 60%. (ILX Group)

Trainer-led revision and sample questions can help you become familiar with the assessment style and identify topics that need more review. Focus on understanding how the concepts connect rather than relying only on memorisation.

The available languages and any additional-time arrangements may depend on the options shown when you book. Check the current booking information and technical requirements before scheduling your assessment.

IMPORTANT: You must ensure your device and testing environment meet the official remote-proctoring requirements before booking or taking your exam.
