Your individual project management expertise, the complexity of the project and support provided, for the use of PRINCE2 in your work environment will all be factors that impact what you can achieve.

PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam

The practitioner exam is used to apply previous learning of the method to sample PRINCE2 Practitioner style exam questions. No learning of ‘new’ PRINCE2 topics should be expected, rather an enhancement of your existing knowledge.

You must already have reached the standard of knowledge required and have passed the Foundation exam. During the course, you will have an opportunity to try out the application of your existing PRINCE2 knowledge to a typical scenario, and related objective style test questions.

It can be expected that this preparation event will improve the likelihood of passing the Practitioner Exam.  However, success in the exam requires some basic analytical skills under time pressure, and this event is not intended to provide anything other than a high-level appreciation of these important skills together with useful exam strategy advice and guidance. Due to the intense nature of this course, you should plan to commit more than 3 hours evening study and review.
