Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a PRINCE2 course cost in Australia?
PRINCE2 course costs vary depending on the provider, the specific certification (such as Foundation or Practitioner) and whether you combine it with Agile training. Short courses focused on PRINCE2 are generally priced differently to longer qualifications like a Diploma or Graduate Diploma. It's best to compare individual course listings for current pricing, since fees differ across providers offering these courses online.
Is there a free online PRINCE2 course available?
Government funding depends on the provider and the state you're in. Some project management courses, including certain Certificate IV and Diploma options, may be government-funded or subsidised, while PRINCE2 short courses are typically fee-based. You can check funding details listed against each course, or enquire directly with the provider to confirm your eligibility.
Is the PRINCE2 exam hard?
The PRINCE2 exam difficulty depends on your preparation and prior project management experience. Foundation level courses, some as short as 14 to 20 hours, introduce the methodology, while Practitioner level courses build on that knowledge and require deeper application skills. Structured online study through a registered provider can help you prepare for either exam with a clear pathway.
How long does it take to complete a PRINCE2 or project management course online?

All these options are delivered online, letting you fit study around work commitments.
What jobs can you get with a PRINCE2 or project management qualification?
