PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a widely-used project management methodology that provides a flexible and adaptable approach to managing projects. The PRINCE2-Foundation is an entry-level certification that focuses on the principles and basic concepts of the PRINCE2 methodology.

The PRINCE2-Foundation certification exam tests the candidate's understanding of the PRINCE2 principles, themes, and processes, and their ability to apply that knowledge in a given scenario. The exam typically covers topics such as the PRINCE2 principles (Continued Business Justification, Learn from Experience, Defined Roles and Responsibilities, Manage by Stages, Manage by Exception, Tailor to Suit the Project Environment), the PRINCE2 themes (Business Case, Organization, Quality, Plans, Risk, Change, Progress) and PRINCE2 processes (Starting up a Project, Directing a Project, Initiating a Project, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing a Stage Boundary, Closing a Project).

The PRINCE2-Foundation exam is a multiple-choice exam, with 75 questions to be answered in 1 hour. The pass mark is 50% (38 out of 75 questions) and it is possible to take the exam in several languages.

PRINCE2-Foundation certification demonstrates a candidate's understanding of the PRINCE2 methodology and provides a sound foundation for those who wish to progress to the PRINCE2 Practitioner level. It's a good fit for project managers, project coordinators, project support staff, and project team members who are involved in the management, control and organization of a project.
