Knowledge Train today announced the launch of PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner (Version 2) training and certification courses in London, expanding access to accredited learning for professionals working in agile project environments. The programme, accredited by PeopleCert, offers instructor-led and self-paced routes and is designed to help candidates apply PRINCE2 governance alongside agile delivery approaches. The initiative addresses growing demand for robust management controls that preserve flexibility, aiming to increase delivery confidence, stakeholder alignment, and effective governance across organisations. By situating the new offering in London while serving learners online, Knowledge Train seeks to support project managers, project teams, and professionals moving into agile contexts with a structured pathway to recognised certification. The release comes in December 2025 and accompanies updated course materials aligned to the latest examination requirements. The announcement highlights PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner (Version 2) as a route to validated competence for blending practices such as Scrum and Kanban with PRINCE2 controls.
Early cohorts will be able to select either two- or four-day instructor-led schedules or self-paced study with 12-month access, reflecting different needs for immersion and flexibility. Jay Gao, Operations Manager at Knowledge Train, said: “Organisations want the predictability of PRINCE2 with the responsiveness of agile. This programme is intended to help practitioners bridge that gap in a measured way, using recognised guidance, accredited assessments, and realistic practice to build confidence in delivery.” Gao added: “By offering both instructor-led and e-learning routes, with exam preparation and a free resit, the aim is to reduce barriers to certification while maintaining academic rigour.” The company indicated that practical tools, including MoSCoW prioritisation, burn charts, the Agilometer, and outcome measures such as OKRs, are covered to demonstrate how governance and iteration can operate together.
Further details about schedules, prerequisites and exam arrangements are available on Knowledge Train’s dedicated course information page, accessible via the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner overview. The page outlines instructor-led dates across the year, self-paced study durations of approximately 21 hours for Practitioner or 37 hours with Foundation, and notes on regional purchasing and pricing before VAT. Readers considering certification may review the syllabus coverage, including tailoring PRINCE2 practices in agile contexts and aligning frameworks such as Scrum and Kanban, before choosing a suitable route. For clarity about eligibility, the site explains that candidates must hold a qualifying prerequisite, such as PRINCE2 Agile Foundation (v2), prior to attempting the Practitioner examination. Information about the multiple-choice, open-book Practitioner exam, the 60 per cent pass mark, and the free resit within 12 months is set out alongside guidance on booking online exams. The accreditation by PeopleCert and the inclusion of digital manuals, mock tests, PeopleCert Plus membership, and a short Business Learning Library subscription are also described to help prospective candidates understand the scope of support.
The launch follows sustained interest in hybrid delivery, where teams retain PRINCE2 roles, controls and tolerances while applying iterative techniques to manage change and uncertainty. Jay Gao, Operations Manager at Knowledge Train, said: “Feedback from employers shows that combining structured governance with agile practices helps teams make informed trade-offs without losing transparency or accountability. The intention is to provide clear guidance that can be adapted to different organisational cultures and technology stacks.” Additional background, including course times, learning outcomes and Foundation bundle options, can be found on the company’s main site. The training is positioned for project managers, team members and non-project specialists who need to understand how to apply behaviours such as prioritisation, frequent release planning and rich communication within formal project structures. Accreditation by PeopleCert and provision of same-day exam results are noted to assist workforce planning and timely recognition of achievement.
Industry observers anticipate that formal recognition of agile competence within a PRINCE2 framework will continue to feature in hiring criteria for transformation and delivery roles. As organisations evaluate value streams, cloud migrations and AI-enabled services, the ability to align governance artefacts with incremental delivery is likely to shape how projects are initiated, monitored and closed. Training that standardises terminology, clarifies responsibilities and provides evidence of assessment may contribute to reduced onboarding time for cross-functional teams and suppliers. Over the next year, wider adoption of hybrid practices could influence reporting conventions, with dashboards and OKRs used alongside established management products to give executives clearer visibility of progress, risk and benefits realisation. Remote examination and online learning may further normalise distributed study models, allowing teams to schedule development without disrupting critical delivery windows. Because certification is internationally recognised, mobility of skills can support organisations operating across regions, helping establish consistent expectations for roles, decision rights and escalation paths.
