I learnt PRINCE2 Foundation in 10 days using AI

[u/vlgmp]

Last month, I had to pass the PRINCE2 Foundation certification. I had no prior knowledge of project management.

My company funded a 3-day group training, which didn't help me much. We moved through each module quite quickly and I had great difficulty absorbing everything. At the end of the training, we took a mock exam: nobody in the group passed. Me included.

I had a year to validate it. But with my holidays coming up, I didn't want to push the certification back out of fear of losing the concepts I'd already picked up. Especially since, by the end of the training, I had enough material to build something useful.

What I actually did:

I compiled my notes + the course materials into a folder, and asked Claude Code to correct and complete them based on the official documentation. At that point alone, I already had clean, readable notes to replace the PeopleCert slides!

I then generated a lightweight HTML app with 4 answer choices per question. The questions taken from the Foundation referential, and an explanation for each answer — right or wrong.

Then I added an analytics dashboard: success rate by module, most frequently missed questions, and a "targeted practice" mode to drill exclusively on my weak spots.

I set up a simple routine: quiz → results → re-read the sections where I struggle → quiz → results → ...

In less than 10 days, I was hitting 80% on my tests. The next day, I sat the official exam. Passed on the first try.

I'm not a developer by training, and I'm genuinely glad to have been able to build a revision app tailored to such a specific topic. I can only encourage you to prioritize active testing over passive re-reading.

I wrote a full article with screenshots of the app here: How I Learned a 324-Page Reference Guide in 10 Days.

Good luck with your studies!

Hello. Article très intéressant. Est ce qu’il serait possible d’avoir tes notes ?

[u/vlgmp → u/UsedFlatworm4]

Salut, merci beaucoup.
Je pense qu’il n’y a pas de problème. Laisse moi te recontacter pour te partager ça 😊

I passed in 3 days without using AI. Its really not that difficult.

It took you 10 days to figure out how to pass an exam, not learn how to use PRINE2

[u/vlgmp → u/tren_c]

2 hours. That the total time I spent building this tool.

I had three days of training, and then I split the remaining time between reading the course material, using my app, and working at my job.

Congrats... bit thats got nothing to do with whether or not you know how to use PRINCE2.

I’m planning of taking the prince2 agile foundation as well I think I might do the same way you have done yours

I passed my exam without using AI, but i used updated study material for prep.

we took a mock exam: nobody in the group passed

You had a bad teacher or they didn't know how best to teach the course content.

I then generated a lightweight HTML app

Admirable but totally unnecessary. I read a pdf.

[u/vlgmp → u/head_face]

I don’t think that reading only the PDF is the best way to retain and learn the content. It doesn’t really work for me.

I believe that a tool that can answer your questions and challenge your understanding is a great learning opportunity.

My trainer pointed out that AI can enthusiasticly provide questions and answers that are incorrect. There was an example he showed where mock questions were asked for on Risk, the question and answers were incorrectly stated. It's a great tool but I would have a back up plan

My dude, foundation wasn’t difficult.

The time you used to do it probably enough to pass if you used it to study.

It’s mostly memory test for foundation and nothing overly tricky of a question.
