PRINCE2®
Exam Preparation Event
OVERVIEW
The Practitioner Examination
Preparation event provides an opportunity to apply learning of the
PRINCE2® methodology to a real-life derived scenario. The
scenario is in a similar format to that used in the APM Group
Practitioner Exam and will be used to test the thorough
understanding of the application of PRINCE2® . The Foundation Exam
tests knowledge of the method itself, and this must be passed in
order to take the Practitioner Exam.
Prior to attending this event, Delegates are
required to have passed the Foundation Exam (please contact
LearnProject if you require information on Foundation level
qualification). The objective of this event is primarily to apply
previous learning of the method to various scenario situations - new
learning of the method should not be expected. However the
event provides an opportunity to review the method through a series
of short refresher sessions and the Event Manager will be on-hand to
provide feedback and guidance on practice questions and answer any
questions about the method.
DESIGNED FOR
The Examination Preparation Event is designed for anyone who has
already taken and passed the Foundation Exam and wishes to receive
advice and guidance in preparation for taking the APM Group
Practitioner Examination. The event is not suitable for anyone
wishing to learn or substantially revise the PRINCE2® Method. The
expectation is that all Delegates attending will already have
reached the standard of knowledge required, and have succeeded in
passing the pre-requisite Foundation Examination.
DOCUMENTATION
Delegates attending this event will be issued with the latest
copy of the PRINCE2 Practitioner Assistant. All other
documentation including the PRINCE2® Manual and Online Event Prep
login details should be brought to the event by the delegate.
BENEFITS
Following the event, candidates will have had an opportunity to:
- Refresh their knowledge of the method.
- Apply their PRINCE2® knowledge to a typical
scenario.
- Discuss different approaches with Event Manager
and colleagues.
- Practice practitioner style questions & receive
feedback on them.

The Practitioner examination is taken at 9.00 am on the second day
and the exam papers are sent to APM Group for marking. Results
usually take approximately 2 - 3 weeks.
