    Table 1 Competence required at each level of the Foundation and Practitioner Examinations

    Foundation This level aims to measure whether a candidate could act as an inormed member o a

    project management team on a project using the PRINCE2 method, within an environment

    supporting PRINCE2. To this end they need to show they understand the principles and

    terminology o the method. Specifcally, a candidate should be able to:

    describe the purpose and major content o all roles, the eight components, the eight

    processes and the techniques

    state which management products are input to, output rom, and updated in the eight

    processes and the sub-processes o Controlling a Stage (CS) and Managing Product

    Delivery (MP)

    state the main purpose, and key contents, o the major management products as

    identifed in the detailed syllabus

    state the relationships between processes, deliverables, roles and the management

    dimensions o a project.

    Practitioner This level aims to measure whether a candidate could apply PRINCE2 to the running and

    managing o a project within an environment supporting PRINCE2. To this end they need to

    exhibit the competence required or the Foundation qualifcation, and show that they can

    apply and tune PRINCE2 to address the needs and problems o a specifc project scenario.

    Specifcally, a candidate should be able to:

    know or comment on detailed explanations o all processes , components and techniques,

    and worked examples o all PRINCE2 products as they might be applied to address the

    particular circumstances o a given project scenario

    demonstrate that they understand the relationships between processes, components ,

    techniques and PRINCE2 products, and can apply this understanding

    demonstrate that they understand the reasons behind the processes, components

    and techniques o PRINCE2, and that they understand the principles underpinning these

    elements

    demonstrate their ability to tune PRINCE2 to dierent project circumstances.
