Yes. PRINCE2 Foundation certification does not expire and does not require renewal or continuing education. However, the Practitioner certification requires renewal every 3 years. Foundation is a lifetime credential.
What changed in PRINCE2 7th edition?
The 7th edition (2023) integrates people management, sustainability, and digital/data considerations. It renamed 'themes' to 'practices' and refined the seven principles. The core structure of principles, practices (themes), and processes remains. Check with PeopleCert for which edition your exam version covers.
