Practitioner Examination

The Practitioner is the second of the two PRINCE2 Examinations you are required to pass to become a PRINCE2 Practitioner.

This level is aiming 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 they need to exhibit the competence required for the Foundation qualification, and show that they can apply and tune PRINCE2 to address the needs and problems of a specific project scenario, specifically, candidates 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.
  • Show they understand the relationships between processes, components, techniques and PRINCE2 products and can apply this understanding.
  • Demonstrate that they understand the reasons behind the processes, components and techniques of PRINCE2, and that they understand the principles underpinning these elements.
  • Demonstrate their ability to tune PRINCE2 to different project circumstances.

Format

  • 9 questions, with a scenario background and appendices
  • Each of the 9 questions is worth 40 marks
  • An overall score of 180 out of a possible 360 is required to pass
  • Three hour duration
