PRINCE2 Practitioner Course

Is this for me?

If you're a practicing or aspiring project manager and you wish to improve the probability that your project will be a success, then yes. And don't forget that many companies have adopted PRINCE2 as their standard approach, so this course will help equip you in a competitive job market!

About the PRINCE2 Practitioner Examination

The PRINCE2 Practitioner Examination is a 2.5-hour, open-book examination in the Objective Testing format.

The paper will be based on a scenario, and will test your ability to apply PRINCE2 in 9 syllabus areas. All questions are mandatory. Each question will be split into sub-questions, and you will be able to see how many marks are associated with each sub-question.

How we'll prepare you to Pass the Exam first time

Four days of hard work will be organised something like this:

and then on Day 5, the Registered Practitioner Exam.

What's the Course going to be like?

Obviously, we want you to have an enjoyable time on a Project Performance Consulting Course, so we'll start by putting you up in decent hotel (if you've booked a residential course). We don't use hotels which don't have excellent guest facilities such as a gym, memorable food, a decent bar, and if you're on a Bournemouth course you'll be almost on top of a seven mile beach. That should all take care of the free time!

During the day we'll expect you to work hard, sharing your experiences with the trainer and with other delegates, and helping each other get ready for that Friday-morning exam. We'll talk, you'll listen, we'll show, you'll do, and together we'll practice exam questions and case study scenarios. We'll also ask you to do some studying in the evening, but not so much that you can't enjoy your surroundings.

By Friday morning you'll be ready to take on any scenario that the PRINCE2 examiners can throw at you, and when you've done your best at that you'll be able to join the others for a post-course lunch, and commiserate over the questions you thought you didn't know the answers to!

Pre-Course Preparation

Prior to your course, we'll send you a PRINCE2 manual and some pre-course preparation guidance. We suggest you study the manual for at least 10 hours prior to the course to familiarise yourself with the method.

In addition, we will give you access to our PRINCE2 Foundation computer-based distance learning material to help prepare you for your course. This is free to all delegates on our instructor led courses.

How to book a place:

You can book your course online on our website, or call us on 01202 335437, or email us. We'll invoice you only after the course.

When we confirm we'll send you some joining instructions, some pre-course preparation guidance, and a copy of the PRINCE2 official manual. Don't forget to bring it with you to the course!
