Does PRINCE2 Agile certification expire?
The PRINCE2 Agile certifications do not expire. However, as of January 2023, a renewal date will be
established three years from the date of the exam. If certificates were issued prior to 30 June 2020, a
renewal date of 1 July 2023 will be applied. Certificate renewal is a voluntary process.
To renew the PRINCE2 Agile certification, candidates must select one of the three renewal options available.
Those who opt not to renew within three years from the award date (or before 1st July 2023 for
certifications obtained on or before June 2020) will remain on the Successful Candidates Register. However,
their records will reflect that their certification does not align with the current certification requirements.
How do I get PRINCE2 Agile certification?
Acquiring PRINCE2 Agile certification necessitates passing one of the two PRINCE2 Agile certification
exams. Most individuals achieve their PRINCE2 Agile certification either by enrolling in a classroom PRINCE2
course or through self-study via a PRINCE2 eLearning course.
An alternative method involves purchasing the PRINCE2 Agile certification exam directly from PeopleCert,
the PRINCE2 examination institute, or from a PRINCE2 Accredited Training Organisation (ATO), followed by
self-study, potentially using freely available resources online.
How do I renew my PRINCE2 Agile certification?
You can renew your PRINCE2 Agile certification in one of three ways:
1. Retake the same PRINCE2 exam
• The certificate can be renewed by attempting the initial exam again before its renewal date, which
is generally 3 years from the date of the original exam.
2. Take further courses and certifications
• Another method to renew the certificate is by taking another course and exam from the same
product suite before the renewal date. PRINCE2 Agile is part of the Project, Programme & Portfolio
Management Product Suite, which includes: PRINCE2

How long does it take to get PRINCE2 Agile certification?
The minimum duration to acquire PRINCE2 Agile certification is two days, which is the standard length of a
PRINCE2 Agile Foundation course. A PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner course typically lasts another two days,
with the exam scheduled on the third day. So, to prepare for, and pass both PRINCE2 Agile exams, a
minimum of five days should be planned.
If opting for PRINCE2 Agile online self-paced eLearning, most people take longer than five days. The self-
study method, though less expensive, usually takes significantly longer than one week.
How much does PRINCE2 Agile certification cost?
The cost for PRINCE2 Agile certification can vary greatly depending on the PRINCE2 Accredited Training
Organisation (ATO) chosen and the study method.
