Pre-Requisites
It is assumed that delegates will have attended PRINCE2™ training up to Practitioner level.
You must have passed the PRINCE2™ Foundation exam in order to sit the PRINCE2™ Practitioner exam.
Pre-Course Preparation
We strongly recommend that you practice answering as many sample examination questions as possible by way of preparation for the exam. If you need extra help, we offer a ‘practice exam question’ service. You would attempt a practice exam paper, which we would mark and provide feedback on.
This will develop your exam technique and will give you an insight into what the examiners are looking for in your answers.
Examination Details
The Practitioner exam is a 3 hour Objective Test with nine equally weighted questions on a given project scenario. You must get 50% overall in order to pass. You are expected to show your ability to apply the PRINCE2™ method to this scenario. The types of question that you will complete include multiple choice, confirming if statements made about the scenario are correct or not, placing proposed options into the sequence suggested by the PRINCE2™ method, and stating whether assertions made about the scenario match with reasons provided to explain the assertion. The paper is taken after the training on Friday morning, and the papers are all returned to The APM Group for marking, which takes approximately 4 weeks. You will be advised of your result, by Scoll Methods, as soon as the information is available and Practitioner Certificates are raised for successful candidates.
(Exam fees (£170 VAT) are not applicable if you have previously attended one of our courses and booked but deferred the Practitioner exam)
