The Foundation qualification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner qualification By passing the Foundation exam, candidates should understand the structure and key terminology of the method. Specifically, the candidate should understand:  The characteristics and context of a project and the benefits of adopting PRINCE2  The purpose of the PRINCE2 roles, management products and themes  The PRINCE2 principles  The purpose, objectives and context of the PRINCE2 processes The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to confirm whether the candidate has achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor PRINCE2 in a scenario situation. A successful Practitioner candidate should, with suitable direction, be able to start applying the method to a real project but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations.
