PRINCE2™ PRACTITIONER EXAMINATION COURSE

To learn more about the history of PRINCE and PRINCE2® please refer to the PRINCE2® Foundation Page

COURSE DURATION - 2 DAYS 

This training course is an absolute must for delegates who wish to take the PRINCE2® Practitioner exam. The training course may only be presented by companies registered with the APM Group as an RTO (Registered Training Organisation). X-Pert will provide an accredited PRINCE2® trainer from X-Pert to deliver the course.

The overall objective of the Practitioner Exam is to measure whether a candidate would be able to apply PRINCE2® to the running and managing of a project within an environment supporting PRINCE2®. To this end the candidate needs to exhibit the competence required for the Foundation qualification, and show that the candidate can apply and tune PRINCE2® to address the needs and problems of a specific project scenario. Specifically, the candidate must be able to:-

• Produce detailed explanations of all processes, components and techniques, and worked examples of all PRINCE2® products as they might be applied to address the particular circumstances of a given project scenario.
• Demonstrate the understanding the relationships between processes, components, techniques and PRINCE2® products and can apply this understanding. 
• Demonstrate the understanding of the reasons behind the processes, components and techniques of PRINCE2®, and the understanding of the principles underpinning these elements. 
• Demonstrate the ability to tune PRINCE2® to different project circumstances.

The Practitioner exam uses objective test questions which require a student to choose a response to a question from a set of choices for which the correct answer is pre-determined. The Practitioner exam demands a greater level of understanding and application of the method than the Foundation exam which largely tests knowledge of principles and terminology of the method. The 3 hour exam consists of 9 main questions with a number of part-questions. Each main question is worth 40 marks. The pass rate is 180 marks out of a possible 360. The exam includes one scenario which will provide a description of the organisation, the business rationale for the project and the project objectives.

The exam questions are divided into 5 learning levels. Each level has its own marking scheme. The more difficult the question, the more marks will be awarded for that question. Some questions deliver negative marks if answered incorrectly.

During the Practitioner exam the candidate is only allowed to bring the ‘Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2®’ manual into the exam room. The student is allowed to make notes in the ‘Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2®’ manual. No additional notes, diagrams or event manuals may be used during the exam.
